Astrolift was a Ropeway built by Swiss manufacturer Von Roll that was previously located at Six Flags Over Texas in Arlington, Texas, USA.
History
Astrolift started construction on July 22, 1961, after parts arrived from Switzerland.[1]
The ride was sponsored by Delta Airlines in 1978.[2]
The ride was temporarily closed in July 1978 after an accident on the similar Sky-Way at Six Flags Over Mid-America in Eureka, Missouri, USA.[3]
The ride was removed after the 1980 season.[4]
