AstroWorld

Two things to consider about AstroWorld: Would you prefer a park with a decent collection of rides, including some very unique ones or NOTHING AT ALL? The other thing to consider is that the Championship Event will draw someting like 20,000 people. Granted, not everyone will go to the park on Friday, but the majority will. Therefore, lets say you have 15,000 people in the park. This is a smaller park and with fewer rides than say Six Flags Great America, lines will actually be quite significant. I do not know what average attendance figures are for parks, but I was at Great America one day this summer when there were over 40,000 people in the park - the shortest line was 45 minutes.

Then there is the consideration that it is a private event, therefore making the ride-ops some of the least happy people in the park because they have to work extra time. This will translate to stacking of trains in the station and then even longer lines.

FIRST has done everything they can to make this event as good as it has been in the past. I just hope my team will be able to qualify and then get some money so I can experience this whole thing.
