The beat goes on... Come on Eileen(my AW personal theme music) will never be the same now... I hope beyond all hope that the doom of Astroworld brings future good tidings to Houston. I wonder how one goes about raising a couple of hundred million to open a them park? We could call it... how about Samuland? HA! No really a nice new park. Somewhere where there are trees for shade, with new amenities, and new modern rides. That would be nice. It would be extra cool if some of the original mainstays of AW could be saved... Greezed Lightning or the Cyclone... The Dexster Freebish must be rusting away somewhere? Bring back the Barrel of Fun! and the Alpine Sleigh Ride! Now update it all with modern themeing. Get those geniuses from Shliterbaun to go in and help with the line and queueing system.(just wait until the one in Galveston opens, you will be floating on tubes in the line!) Build it in a place with space. Make sure you pay attention to detail. Have any of you been through my haunted houses over the years? There is not that much to them, but attention to detail makes up for not having a lot! Chaser lights on a woodie! The appropriate music in the theme! Fresh bread on the exit! Can't be that hard...
My family went to Disneyworld this year and that place looked spankin new! and it's older than AW so I know it can be done. Above all emphasize worker courtesy! Avid readers of my blog will surely remember the tirades I've been on about workers that don't give a frog's fat ass about anything...
... I still hurt. I'm also torn on whether to go one last time or sit on my good memories... E and J up for one more trip? Maybe not... maybe it's better to let it go and hope for better things... maybe I should get off my ass and do something about it? Where to start?
