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.
Of course but one is in a high traffic city area that will get people no matter what rides there are and the other is in a more laid back area that probably would not even get as many people if they even if they tried with new rides.

Well, that’s not correct.
Despite being near the heart of Houston, Six Flags Astroworld’s attendance falls far, far behind that of most other Six Flags parks; and particularly, both of its neighbors in the state of Texas. Sometimes, people actually demand quality over convenience.
Six Flags Astroworld receives used rides much of the time because that’s all its attendance and revenue allow for, not because it takes less to satisfy its customers. The customers have responded by taking their patronage elsewhere.

Yeah well its differnt here in New York. Ive noticed people usually go for whats convenient in New York rather than go for quality. My grandparents live across the street from a water park. Its always crowed every day from people coming from the city.
I have pleged to some people that I will not complain, so I’ll say this: I agree with all of the non-positive comments above.
But the coasters wern’t half bad. Ok, they were only 1/4 good.
this is going directly to Sophey Chan . hehe. i was there when u asked that one guy for his EXPENSIVE shirt. lols. =P you asked me and some of my friends for a dry shirt. lols.
six flags were OKIE DOKIE. hehe. =P

Was that the one inside or outside of the food area. Cause the “50 dollar shirt” was before I actually got one in the food place. lol. You have to admit, it was odd to hear someone say that.
That Six Flags was horrible!
The only good ride they had was the Texas Cyclone which was one of the best wooden roller costers i’ve been on (it could have used to bank a little more)
Six Flags Great America is probably the best i’ve been to so far (ive been to about 10)

You need to get around more 
Viper at your own home park, Six Flags Great America, should surpass Texas Cyclone in every way. Try riding it in the first car, third set of seats.
Also, I suggest visiting Michigan’s Adventure and riding Shivering Timbers.
Other amazing wooden coasters in your area include;
Raven - Holidayworld, Santa Claus, IN
Legend Holidayworld, Santa Claus, IN
Cyclops - Big Chiefs Karts and Coasters, Wisconsin Dells, WI
Blue Streak - Cedar Point, Sandusky, OH
Cornball Express - Indiana Beach, Monticello, IN
…all better than Texas Cyclone. I promise.
I have to say the best ride was tidal wave. Well, the ride itself was a little boring, but after is awesome. You get off the ride and you have to go over a bridge that takes you across the point where the car falls to. Well, me and my Gila Monster friends decided to stay there and watch. We saw a car from the top, and expected it to fall and splash a little water on us. Well, the car drops, its the water and all of our eyes widen as we watch the largest wall of water I have ever seen sweep over the bridge and onto us. The force of the wave pushed me back a few steps and when it was all over I was soaked! However, it was the coolest thing I have ever done!
I had a very upseting time at 6 flags, first off, i waited online for an hour (which i had expected) on a ultratwister, and when i got to the front they told me when i got to the front of the line, that i was too tall to fit in the ride,
Next, i went on Dungon Drop, where they stated (i am trying to find a nice word) i am too Plesantly Plump to fit in the seats… so at that point i gave up for the day, I honestly never experienced this problem at @ the 6 flags near me, nor at Disney world, while i am a firm believer of the people make the competition, not the entertainment, that just down right sucked,
ALthtough i could tell you my highlight of the competition entertainment, was saturday night, when i want on the Swings… and i had sooo much fun 
but the roller coasters would have been more fun,
Oh well next year i know not to bother with 6 flags entertainment
