"did anyone catch the quote from one of the SFTP corporate clowns  who said in an interview that it was a "huge mistake to close Astroworld"!
Yes, keep in mind that the management who made this poor decision have all been replaced in a coup. The wheels in motion to dismantle our park where all too far along gone for the new guys to reverse.

Yes - my apologies! I realized that later that the folks that made the decision to close SFAW have all been replaced.

wow, that's scary. I'll hopefully get to go to the rodeo next wednesday. Maybe I can see the cyclone again. See this is what I'm going to do when it comes down. I'll be waiting on the rode next to the cyclone and will follow the dumpster trucks to the garbage site and from there I will take what I please.
