Official SFAW Closing and Ride relocation Thread
Sweetness

BATMAN: THE ESCAPE PARTS HAVE ARRIVED AT SFDL

Are there any recent pictures of astroworld being deconstructed?
What ride was going to SFEG, but couldn't make into the park because it was in too bad of shape? This is a flat ride.
"I've been staring at the world, waiting. All the trouble and all the pain we're facing. Too much light to be livin' in the dark. Why waste time? We only got one life. Together we can be the CHANGE. So go and let your heart burn bright"
This is a pretty interesting photo that Astroworld must have enforced during sometime of it's existence. Thank goodness they don't do this now. Maybe, next year (2007) they might which is dumb.

Yeah, that is really dumb. Why can 10 year old Johnny over 54" not be able to Trick or Treat while 10 year old Mikey can't? I really hate the height instead of age restrictions for stuff like this that Six Flags uses.
I can see using height over age for rides, but not for shows and events.

Guys it's just to make the teenagers trying to be stupid to stay out of the little kids area. It's sort of like the Spacley's Sprocket Rockets rule...when we try to ride it it's not like we actually are doing it for a thrill, we're doing it to be dumb and it hogs the parks capacity (which it sounds like Astroworld hit a lot because of that sign).
I'm sure 10 year old Mikey who had early growth spurts could still go Trick or Treating. Top 5 wood-5-Goliath 4-Ravine Flyer II 3-Phoenix 2-Voyage 1-El Toro
Top 5 Steel- 5-Velocicoaster 4- Maverick 3- Fury 325 2-Steel Vengeance 1-X2 Coaster Count: 444
I'm sure you're right, buy why not just say trick-or-treating is for 12 and under only?
^That would have been alot easier.
It's simple. You can lie about a kids age, but you can't lie about their height.
I used to have an age limit for my haunted house in order to avoid problem issues with young kids (mainly problem parents). We put an age limit into effect, but then you got parents lying about their kids ages saying they were just short for their age, or they looked young. Next year we put a height requirement into effect - no problems. Same concept with the trick or treating only in reverse. It's the most fun in the park when your laughing in the dark.
Texas Cyclone was leveled this morning.
1,000th POST!
Thats too bad. Yet another classic woodie passes into history.
Finally Coaster Season!!
Let's all give the poor ride a moment of silence tonight.

While I see the purpose of this, and acknowledge that you have full right to do this, I find it very discrimatory (not to mention bad for business if what you're describing was part of a business). I'm very short for my age - 5'3" @ 17 yrs. I couldn't get on Raging Bull or any other 54" until I was 12, so I do know what it's like to be short for my age. Now, obviously, that's different because it's a safety issue, but for maturity issues, it makes no sense. Can you imagine if there was a height limit imposed for PG-13 movies? Someone who is 15 might not be able to watch it, because they're shorter than the average 13 year old. How absurd! You would also have issues with dwarfs (no, I'm not kidding).
Do we have pics? I demand proof.
I've never been there, but I'm sad
Ahh the rain drop, the perfect aerodynamic shape. It is actually formed by the air around it.
For the most part - I agree with you here. Our ticket sellers did have some discretion they could use, so midgets and dwarves were not a problem. Except for when you didn't see them in the dark. Even those who were obviously old enough, but short made it through. The height thing was there as a fall back to prevent a**hole parents from permanently scarring their kids psyches. For the record, our height requirement was based on the owners 8 yr old son. Haunted attractions are a different kind of business. We only make money if there are people moving through our haunts. As much fun as it is for me personally to torture individuals who are too scared to move, its bad for business. This happens with small children very frequently, and their parents either don't care or underestimate about how bad the kid freaks out. It holds up the line resulting in a longer wait, less patrons through the door, and more dissatisfied customers. While we lose on a few customers due to the policy, the overall impact ends up positive for business. And just to keep on topic..... I heard it mentioned that TC could not be relocated due to hight clearance issues. Anyone want to explain that one to me? It's the most fun in the park when your laughing in the dark.
On Wikipedia it said that TC couldnt be moved because of it being too expensive and the ride wouldnt be up to building codes.
I think someone stated their assumptions, especially that it wouldn't comply with current building codes.
Wikipedia also has a disclaimer saying that they cannot be 100% certain that all the information on the site is true. Check it out:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia: ... disclaimer anybody can edit a search on Wikipedia. So nothing is guaranteed true. Sorry to burst your bubble. 2010 is going to be one to remember forever!!
^Yeah, but the type of person who would submit that type of news would probably know what they were talking about.
