- Say, you wouldn't happen to know if Astroworld will be open anytime in
- the next couple of weeks, would you? I know Six Flags over Texas was
- open Jan. 2-3, and is now closed, presumably until March or something.
-
- The reason I ask is because I'm flying into Houston on Sunday and will
- be taking a two-week training course. So I'll be stuck in Houston with
- two weeks' worth of evenings and one weekend 16-17) to fill. If
- Astroworld were to be open sometime during my stay, I'd be one
- super-excited dude, but I'm doubtful....
-
- I visited Space Center Houston when I was there in October. Nice job
- they did!

- Thanks,
