same stellar management team that ran that place in the ground is running Magic Mountian.
I grew up going to AstroWorld and it makes me sad when I think about it being torn down.

Astroworld (pours out a 40) I actually worked (Rides/Pyrotech) out there as a kid, 3 of the best years of my life. Being 16-18 and possessing "a little bit of game" as the kids would say made picking up females as easy as shooting fish in a barrel.
Yea, I live in Bellaire now, so I pass by that vacant patch of land often. I still get pissed about it. Actually I did hear about Del and some others moving out there. Yoou know shortly after the deal was worked out to scrap AW, the old CEO and his cronies got ousted, sadly it was too late for Hofheinz's dream.
I miss Texas Cyclone most of all, as a former member of ACE I have ridden 100s of coasters and I swear that Cyclone was one of the most intense rides from start to finish. Tillman Fertitta has built a new woody out on the Kemah boardwalk however, maybe I will give it a try.
BTW - Marvin Zindler died.

But on a serious note. I can probably give you a ride KillJoy if I have room in the Mazda3. But that would mean no shots for me if I'm going to be a DD.
So is there a plan for drinks after the races?

I don't know the area at all though, so that'd be up to you guys. I'm all for whatever

A loooong time joke, like here in the states, the foster logo was "Fosters, Austrailian for beer"
However when we drank it for the first time, we spit it out and was like "Fosters, Australian for queers"
We'll definitely have a good time though. do you know when your plan arrives?

Yeah the girlfriend and I are flyin in on late Thursday night, picking up the hire car and then drivin out to the Doubletree to stay.
Ha Fosters!, we did the same thing over here with Budweiser "the king of beers" bullshit!!!!.... that crap tastes like Fosters (ie Cats ****!)
MGD and Coors are OK. So is "Fat Tyre" and i think its called "Tommyknockers" if your around the Colorado area, get on it.
(looks down at beer gut...Man I gotta cut down on my beer!)

Dude, after the race, we'll kick back a brew. They have this nifty stuff, you may have heard of it. . . it's called Fosters!

Have you checked with the SoCal RX Club? LC and others usually put together a little go-karting action Friday night at DROMO1 near Anaheim stadium. Anyway, either way is fine with me. Just want to make sure that two groups aren't planning competing events without knowledge of each other's efforts. Should be a blast!!!!

It does not matter to me either way. Dromo1 is closer to my house anyways. I dont know about K1 but if its your first time at Dromo1 you have to sit through a stupid little movie before you race so I would plan on trying to get there 20 min early.
Plus they dont take kindly to rubbing and having a few drinks before the races (dont ask me how i know)
