Segments of Grand Texas Now Under Construction

NEW CANEY, TX -- Houston's newest amusement park is beginning construction on several key aspects of the planned 632 acre entertainment district.

The water park, Big Rivers, is under construction with a projected spring 2017 open date, and Kart racing park Speedsportz Racing Park will open Dec. 1.

But, when the idea fell through, the families began looking in other areas, looking first in nearby Tomballand then in Montgomery County.

With the help and guidance of families and friends, a “grander” venue was designed, and a perfect location was found in East Montgomery County, at the junction of Interstate 69 (formerly US 59) and State Highway 242.

What began as a peach orchard evolved into what is know today as Grand Texas. Grand Texas is a destination development, which currently encompasses over 632 acres, and which continues to grow. When complete,
Grand Texas will contain the Houston area’s largest amusement park, the Big Rivers Waterpark, The Grove Factory Outlets, Speedsportz Racing Park, Grand Texas Sportsplex, Grand Texas RV Resort, and a promenade
featuring numerous dining, shopping, and entertainment venues. Dozens of co-developers and partners are working with Grand Texas to provide additional developments and destinations.

Although its past may be humble, Grand Texas’ future is as bright as the Lone Star itself.
