About me: Well, let's see. We were born in 1964 to Walter McKeegan and we had a home in Arlington Texas below the grounds of what is now Six Flags Over Texas. We are mysterious sub-terranean creatures who loved our dark, mysterious, cold underground Cave at Six Flags. We lived there from 1964 until the early 1990's when we were ever so sadly evicted by that Pesky Wabbit and his Looney friends. Please look at our pictures and see if you remember visiting us at some point in your life while floating down our river inside our Cave. We loved the opportunity to frolic and work while you smiled and waved at us during your brief pass through.
Who I'd like to meet: We'd like to meet the guys that evicted us face to face so we can tell them how bad we want our Cave back...ARE YOU LISTENING WARNER BROTHERS???
I love this page!! I can't tell you how much I miss Speelunkers Cave, LaSalle's Riverboat Adventure, and the other great places at Six Flags. I wish my boys could experience it like I did.
You guys scared the living crap out of me when I would visit Six Flags as a child. As much as I was terrified by you, I was sad to see you replaced by the more mainstream Loony Tunes characters.
Hey spee-lunkers! How have you been? I thought about you a few months ago when I was at Six Flags... so sad walking past the cave and knowing that you are not in your rightful home...
