JonnyRCT3 Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 (edited) Sunday, April 5, 1992 Granby Lake Houston, Texas Eric Hill, Granby Lake spokesperson. Granby Lake officially opened its doors a few weeks ago and the first season is off to a fantastic start. Straight through the turnstiles; guests flood onto the entrance plaza. Many enjoy freshly made pizza at Plaza Pizza. Others enjoy soaring views on Sky Tree. The 360° panoramic views of Granby Lake are unmatched. The first of many thrill rides guests encounter is Black Widow. Dodgem Wave Swinger With 88% humidity at 78°F, many are already enjoying a refreshing cool down on Log Jam. With just a few weeks under its belt, The Voyage is already a guest favorite. Mine Rider, North America's grandest mine train coaster. Riders ascend the first lift hill..... .....and down the second lift hill onto Lake Granby. Exclusive Mine Rider postcard. Towards the east side of the park, Swan Boats entertains countless guests on its tranquil excursion with plentiful views. Flying Ace! Adjacent to Flying Ace is Thunder Bobs, a classic amusement ride. Guest wanting to grab a quick bite to eat can always stop at Midway Snacks (not pictured) and enjoy their meal at our scenic picnic area. Tower of Terror, the world's tallest drop ride! At a height of 135', and a drop of 90°, Tower of Terror reaches a speed of 56 mph. Rip Tide, another classic amusement ride. Some argue that Rip Tide and Tower of Terror are complete rip-offs from AstroWorld. Let me assure you; they are not. Lake Monster. The king of Granby Lake. The station is situated high above the midway below. A quick dip out the station onto the lift hill. Twenty riders plunge down the first hill. Two consecutive loops send riders coasting upside down. Pressed firmly in their seats with forces up to 3.7 times gravity. Lake Monster's signature move, the twin corkscrews above the midway below. A 405° counter-clockwise helix bring the 2700' twisted steel journey to a close. After being turned upside down 4 times on Lake Monster many guests find a quick bite at Lakeside Refreshments to be...refreshing. Parachute Granby Lake continues to thrill guests after dark. See you soon... ~Eric Hill, park spokesperson Edited January 13, 2017 by JonnyRCT3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RollingCoasting Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 This is absolutely marvelous! I immediately got a Valley Hills vibe from the very beginning of the update, I bet this is going to be even better! I'm somewhat hoping this morphs into a Cedar Fair park, as I've been waiting for someone to do a Cedar Fair in Texas for a while. Keep up the good work! -RC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SixFlagsAstroworld Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 I'm guessing some Astroworld rides will show up at this park by 2006. In other words, this is a great park! I'm really looking to more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks absolutely wonderful, I can't wait to see this park's progress. But does this mean you quit working on Valley Hills? Working on both parks. thanks i guess it would be nice if this was real in houston tx! i would so go to it! i feel like houston is nothing these days especially to me! The area is lacking in theme parks. I think it will be fun developing a park with close competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnyRCT3 Posted January 13, 2017 Author Share Posted January 13, 2017 Sunday, April 4, 1993 Granby Lake Houston, Texas Eric Hill, Granby Lake spokesperson. Welcome Back! The very first season had some minor hiccups but Granby Lake is ready to go for season two! Many guests are quick to notice the newest thrills looming over the horizon. An all new Boardwalk, offering various rides & attractions. NEW for 1993! The all NEW Granby Wheel. Boardwalk Gifts, Boardwalk Games, and the Granby Grub restaurant greet guest below the Granby Wheel. The NEW Double Time offers an alternative Ferris wheel experience. With the success of Swan Boats, a second water-based attraction has opened on the Boardwalk; Granby Canoes. Also NEW for 1993 is the high-tech BrEaK dAnCe. Rotor. Originally meant to open last season, a series of malfunctions delayed its opening. Elsewhere in the park, Dodgem maintains a full queue due to large early season crowds. Riders cool off on Log Jam. 32 brave "pilots in training" take flight on Flying Ace above the midway below. 4 passengers prepare to drop on Tower of Terror. Lone Star Saloon has expanded its outdoor eating area this season to accommodate the heavy traffic. The Lake Monster "eye". Granby Wheel is visible from almost anywhere in the park. Riders fully drenched after Log Jam's final splashdown. Bonus Material! Granby Lake 1993 souvenir map. Click HERE for full size Until next time... Eric Hill, Granby Lake spokesperson.
