Let me start by saying I am glad I got to ride this coaster and visit this park, but I can also totally understand why this place is getting closed down. I found it sad as I walked around and imagined what it used to be like, and somethings should stay as positive memories, instead of shells of their former selves. APPEARANCE-7 An ok look and I appreciate the nostalgic look, but it is just not an attractive ride or area. CAPACITY-7 They check fast and dispatch pretty well, but nothing amazing. I also find it unique that so many complain about the service at SF, but these ops are deemed full of "character" when they display most of the same traits as an average SF employee. I will give credit to the one gentleman who was really concerned about my wifes glasses and kept them in his shirt pocket. That was cool and would not happen at a chain. RIDE QUALITY-8 Delivered a very good ride, but I dont see it measuring up to a lot of the woodies I have been on. Maybe in my top 20 for wood coasters. FUN-6 This was the most dissapointing aspect. I figured I would laugh and just have a grand old time, but it just didnt happen. I liked my 4 rides and that is about what a 6 is for me, like, but no where close to love. RERIDE-3 Maybe if I was in the area to eat at Nathans, but that is the only reason. OVERALL-31 AVG-6.2 I apologize for how I feel and I am by no means trying to discredit anyone who loves this place, but if Astroland disappears, at least in its current state, I will not miss it.
