AstroWorld (fictional post-2005)

AstroWorld (formerly Six Flags AstroWorld from 1975 to 2005) is a seasonally operated theme park located in Houston, Texas. Owned and operated by Carwardine Parks, it is located on approximately 57 acres (23 ha) of land, which was later expanded to over 75 acres (30 ha) between Kirby Drive and Fannin Avenue, directly south of Loop 610 in Houston. Part of the "AstroWorld Resort" (formerly "Six Flags Houston") complex, the park also includes Carwardine's WaterWorld Houston (formerly Six Flags WaterWorld), a water park that is adjacent to the main park.

History
The park opened on June 1, 1968, and was originally developed and constructed as part of the Astrodomain, the brainchild of local philanthropist and former Houston mayor Judge Roy Hofheinz, who intended it to complement The Astrodome.

AstroWorld was sold to the Six Flags Corporation by the Hofheinz family in 1975. Although it was the fourth theme park to be included in the Six Flags family, it was the first to be acquired by that company rather than built from the ground up. Initially, it was marketed as "AstroWorld: A Member of the Six Flags Family" so as to not confuse patrons with Six Flags Over Texas in Arlington.

In 2005, this park was sold from Six Flags to Carwardine Parks.
