Grand Texas Theme Park is a theme park set to open near Houston, Texas, in the United States, in April 2020.[3] It will be located within the Grand Texas Sports and Entertainment District in New Caney, Montgomery County at Interstate 69 (US Highway 59) and SH 242.[4] in Patton Village. Site work began in July 2013, and groundbreaking was in December 2017. It will feature seven theme areas related to Texas history and culture.

Description

The park will have seven theme areas related to Texas history and culture.[4] It will be managed by Innovative Leisure Partners.[4]

Construction

Site work began in July 2013.[5] Brae Burn Construction Company, based in Houston, will serve as the contractor for the first phase of construction. Dallas-based GHA Architects will design the park.[4] Groundbreaking was scheduled to begin in the fall of 2013.[5] The Construction on the Grand Texas Theme Park will begin once the construction of Big Rivers is in operations. On December 14, 2017, the groundbreaking ceremony for Big Rivers Waterpark and Gator Bayou Adventure Park was held.[6]

The Big Rivers and Gator Bayou Adventure Park were originally scheduled to open on June 29, 2018 but has been delayed because of inclement weather during construction.[7]
