Fan Nickname: The Avalanche Bobsled at Six Flags Over Texas was renamed "La Vibora" to better fit in with the Spain theme area, but most people still refer to it as "the bobsled".Because they were both originally opened by Marriott Hotels, Six Flags Great America and California's Great America both have an Arrow looping coaster named Demon.Until it closed, Six Flags Astroworld had to duel the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo's Carnival, which was a smaller mobile amusement park that was set up over a parking lot in the Astrodome/Reliant Stadium/NRG Stadium's parking lot, only a few steps away from Astroworld's parking lot (though the carnival almost never operated at the same time as Astroworld).Revolution was finished and opened eight days before Corkscrew and earned the title, although Corkscrew was the first to have three inversions. Six Flags Magic Mountain's Revolution was under construction at the same time as Cedar Point's Corkscrew, both of which competed for the title of the first modern-day coaster with a vertical loop.The land that Astroworld was on was never rebuilt into anything else the bridge over I-610 that connected the parking lot to the park is the only thing left, and the area is still a grass field that is used for overflow parking. The move to close the park was supposedly justified when Six Flags cited park attendance in a humid city compounded with parking issues with the Houston Texans and Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo (the latter of which has its own amusement carnival when the show and rodeo are open in March/April), and they expected to get an appraisal of $150 million for the land, but a fallout from closing the park, spending $20 million to bulldoze it, and then only receiving half of what they expected the land, which they hoped would be good real estate, would be worth, Burke was kicked out by shareholders and replaced by ex-Disney executive Mark Shapiro. The decision to shut down and pave over Six Flags Astroworld (the only major theme park to have ever operated in Houston, Texas city limits) earned then-CEO Kieran Burke a firing shortly after the park shuttered.Up to that point, they were the biggest theme park operator in the states, but the fire also came the same year as the Disney Management Shift both were major factors in Six Flags losing dominance. While it didn't kill the firm outright, the Haunted Castle fire at Six Flags Great Adventure did not help Six Flags' reputation.
