  1. ASTROWORLD-Travis Scott

    Astroworld is Travis Scott’s third studio album, inspired by a demolished Houston theme park and shaped by producers like Mike Dean.
    Despite its huge lineup of collaborators and its blend of rap, trap and psychedelic sounds, I consider it overrated. The features often feel unfocused, and many fans praise it more than Rodeo, which I find superior. My favorite tracks are Stargazing, Stop Trying to Be God and Butterfly Effect.

  7. More legal issues for Live Nation: The international concert conglomerate is arguing that they and Astroworld co-organizer Travis Scott should not be held responsible for planning failures before the 2021 tragedy in which 10 people died. The first lawsuit stemming from the disaster, a case brought by the parents of 23-year-old Madison Dubiski, will go to trial on May 6. Its outcome could be a bellwether for hundreds more lawsuits relating to Astroworld. Live Nation and Scott say that if they are forced to go to trial, they should be allowed to attempt to shift blame for poor crowd management to the Houston Police Department and Houston Fire Department. Here's more from Houston Landing.

  9. 10 young Travis Scott fans suffered fatal injuries at the Astroworld music festival in Houston in 2021. Houston Landing reports that organizers misinterpreted the Texas fire code requirements for "breathing room," ignored the way visual obstructions might change concertgoers' behavior, and failed to act appropriately when things began to get out of control on the day. “I would pull the plug but that’s just me,” security worker Reece Wheeler wrote from the festival command center, in a message made public last year. “Someone’s going to end up dead.”

  12. Jet Scream! was a Schwarzkopf looping star roller coaster that operated at @SixFlags St. Louis from 1981 to 1988. The ride featured one loop and reached top speeds of 48 MPH.

    After removal from St. Louis, Jet Scream! was relocated to Astroworld where it continued to operate under the name Viper until the park's closure in 2005.

  13. How and why does this stuff keep happening? My sons’ classmate died at #Astroworld last year - there are ways to manage large crowds and either completely prevent or at least minimize the risk stereogum.com/2208776/woman-di

  14. XLR-8 was a suspended roller coaster designed by #ArrowDynamics that operated at @SixFlags #Astroworld from 1984 until the park closed in 2005. For most of its life the track/train was painted a blue and grey combo, but for its final year of operation XLR-8 had a yellow and blue color combination.
