There have been several articles recently saying that Grand Texas Adventures, the huge amusement park complex planned for this area, will open sometime in 2015.
The park, which will be located just north of here near the intersection of US 59 (Interstate 69) and Texas Hwy 242, will contain multiple venues, including a sports complex. According to developers, it is Not just another Astroworld! One of the best stories about the plan can be found HERE.
I certainly wish them all the best, but I do have one concern – their Big Rivers Water Park is described as ecologically friendly, designed to blend in with the local environment.
Even the perpetual money machine known as Disney World has found that when you blend water parks and ecology, the environment wins. River Country, the first water park at Disney World was closed – and abandoned – in 2005. The infrastructure was not demolished – those fiberglass slides may last forever – but the park is once again becoming Florida swamp.
