Money talks, losers walk. Way the world works especially when corporate executives make over 2.5 million a year at that place

The area that Six Flags Astroworld was on was prime real estate, and the executives that owned Six Flags Astroworld felt they could make a killer profit by just tearing it down and selling off the land it was on.



The decision came back to bite the Six Flags CEO in the butt, when the executives were only able to sell the land for $77 million (They'd been hoping to get nearly double, or $150 million, for the sale.)



It really sucks that Astroworld's gone. That place was one of the few appealing things about Houston.

Now it's a dreary collection of suburbs and office buildings separated by endless miles of asphalt.

Because the owners wanted to make money from the land.



But also because parents had started using the park as a place for their middle school age and teen children to hang out during the day while parents were at work. There was too many unsupervised minors and there were crime and vandalism problems. It became a place families didn't really want to take their children.
