While Grand Texas, which is under development northeast of Houston, will include the usual zooming loop-de-loops, it will also focus on slower-paced attractions.

“Although it will still have some thrill-oriented rides, Grand Texas will focus on entertainment for the whole family,” said developer Monty Galland. “It’s not going to be another Six Flags.”

Plans call for 300,000 square feet of dining and entertainment space that will include a bowling alley, movie theater and a family-entertainment complex, similar in style to Dave & Buster’s. The park will also include a 30-acre ranch to educate families and school groups about farming and Texas history, with hands-on experiences as well as play areas and a petting zoo. There will also be several miles of trails for horseback riding, stagecoach rides and an indoor horse arena for demonstrations and shows. Click HERE for Video and complete story
