I haven't seen mention of this at any enthusiast site, but it looks amazing!


"The dinosaur park, a $500 million project, will be built in East Montgomery County with the intention of having a dinosaur museum for children and adults to learn about the animals, a theme park consisting of roller coasters and water rides and a thematic hotel and spa that will be built within the park."

There is a statistically significant inverse relationship between pirates and global temperature.

*whistles Jurassic Park theme song*

Glad Houston might be getting a new park to fill the void of Astroworld. However, are the dinosaurs going to be genetically made?

Is it going to mention evolution? If so, prepare for people to get up in arms! Especially since it's in Texas.
I am out of ideas for what to write in this signature box.

^Are you kidding me, I bet you the theme park will be about fossil fuels. The only bit on dinosaurs would be the process of fossilization. :P

It is gonna take 3 yrs to complete. I am just glad we will have something because there is no reason to come to houston for vacation unless u want some oil and gas. The only tourist destination we have in Texas is San Antonio. I just dont know how a total dinosaur theme is gonna work. I can see a section in a park but not the whole park. Seems like it would become redudant after a few minutes.

This is good news. I was so sad when Astor world closed down, and whenever I am in Houston with my dad, if I want to go to a theme park, we have to travel 3 hours to San Antonio.

I wonder what ride line up they will have. I can’t see there being any big thrill rides there for some reason.

It is going to take a long time until it is open. I probably won’t be visiting Houston anymore by the time it opens! Well at least I have the boardwalk built to keep my going in Houston.

Wow this sounds awesome, but I was just wondering if this was going to have a raft ride where you are attacked by a T-Rex?

Agree Completely!

No park is complete without a ride with animatronic scenery! Maybe they could do a revamp-ed kids version of Disney's Dinosaur. Hey, it might work! :airtime:
