Why isn't it fair?
They're both owned by the same company, they're both setting out to entertain us, and yet, one is vastly inferior. I don't think that such a comparison is unfair at all. It should be
expected.
Now, I can see where people might argue that the local audience that visits Astroworld doesn't have the knowledge of the other Six Flags, Inc., parks across the nation, and as such, they're satisfied with what they have. While it may make good business sense to capitalize on their ignorance, I don't think it makes any comparison unfair.
Besides, there are two other markedly better Six Flags parks within 6 hours of Astroworld - Fiesta Texas and Six Flags Over Texas. The people of Houston realize that what they're being given as entertainment doesn't compare to what other markets receive -- and they respond with comparably low attendance figures and revenue with regard to that park.
