With a formal opening date set for summer 2015, officials with the crazily-anticipated Grand Texas Theme Park revealed further details about the heir apparent to Houston’s much-missed Six Flags AstroWorld.

During a Wednesday press conference at the Greenway DoubleTree, developer Monty Galland stressed that the project in New Caney will be far more than just roller coasters and water slides, but rather an “entertainment district” where families can spend a long weekend without leaving the 630-acre enclave.
