14. Yes. It died due to mismanagement by Six Flags and an invasion of thugs and gangbangers.

Astroworld was operational from 1968 to 2005, and I had season passes for many a childhood summer.

When the local news showed the Texas Cyclone being demolished, I threw up in my mouth a little. It was so sad to see such an irreplaceable ride be thoughtlessly torn apart (it could not be built today due to more stringent safety regulations).

Astroworld 1968-2005 R.I.P.
