Well just go ahead an spill the news out into the open Redfish. Or is there some kind of gag order like the one on the Kia Auto Plant in South Mission where people started leaking information killing the whole deal?

I cannot either deny or confirm any previous statement.

;D

IF there was one here, i'd buy all the season pass junk and go everyday if i could, well, at least once a week.

I have season passes to Six Flags and I try and go as much as we can with the kiddos. They just love the fact that they can just come as we please, not realizing how much the gas is killing us these days!!

yeah, the gas came to mind and i had to change it to once a week. lol, but a good theme park has something for everyone. i could just take my little girl to see everything.

We went to SA and Dallas Last year and spent just over 200bucks on gas. That same trip this summer would wind up costing about 350bucks on gas. What a drag. That's another reason we need to get one here, cuz people aren't gonna be able to travel the distances as before simply cuz of the gas prices. Regional theme parks are gonna be the way to go instead.

or we could just make one of these at falcon lake or something

Houston is pretty much a lock to get a new theme park. Maybe even Disney is looking to locate a park there or in the Dallas/Frisco Area. Just rumors though.


Houston is already getting their new theme park. It is just a few miles northeast of town in Montgomer County. It is gonna be a DINOSAUR THEMED PARK!!! I think construction has already gotten off to a start, but don't know when it'll be complete.

I've also heard lots of Rumors on a Disney Theme Park in Houston to serve the Central Part of the Nation. That one is just rumor, though.

i was sad to see the last one go. hopefully these new ones are just as good.

Yeah, I really preferred Astroworld over Fiesta Texas before they added all these new Roller Coasters to Fiesta, TX.

[wp2003]

astroworld was great. i only got to go a few times, but i had a blast each and every time.

best park i ever went to though was Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio. now that is a theme park.

[eagleprophet]

Cedar Point is the Roller Coaster Mecca of the World. They have all kinds of them. When did you go over there? And how much did it cost per tix.

[wp2003]

it's been awhile since i went, i was 14, but the tickets i believe were somewhere in the 30 dollar range, but that was for everything. and yes, they had so many roller coasters, i didn't know where to start.

[eagleprophet]

I've been wanting to go to that one and also Six Flags Magic Mountain in LA. I've looked that one too as one of the parks to do. Busch Gardens in Tampa Bay is another one I'd like to visit.

Universal Studios Islands of Adventures is the best one in Orlando IMO. Disney parks just didn't really impress me that much.

[wp2003]

i might be going to LA in a few weeks, i might have to hit up those theme parks. i've never been out that way. thanks for the tip.

[eagleprophet]

If you do have a Season Pass for Six Flags, you can use them to get in for free. If not, you may wanna get yourself one online for Fiesta Texas and use it as much as you want over there. Have fun!!

Ima out to get me some ZZZZZZZZsss!!! Au revoir!!!

So did they already build our theme park here in the RGV??? I went to sleep and may have missed something here and there.

Aren't Busch Gardens, Six Flags, and Fiesta Texas all part of the same company now?
