VIDEO: Astroworld footage - then and now

$77 million later, Astroworld is still in the news.

Earlier this week, I received some info about the Astroworld (R.I.P.) ride auction.

Then blogger Mark Shields posted his Vlog in my comments (OK you stalwarts, it might not really be a Vlog b/c it doesn't use XML).

Still pretty cool.

The video is of the park from 1980. Happy times. Then fast forward to 2006, he's on camera standing on a very large dirt field. Shed a tear folks.

Turns out Shields has an entire blog about Astroworld.

And make sure to check out his car! Marty McFly doesn't have a thing on this guy... CONTACT: Leave me a Houston or Texas media news tip | COMMENT: Click to leave your thoughts on this post here
