Construction
Site work began in July 2013. Brae Burn Construction Company, based in Houston, will serve as the contractor for the first phase of construction. Dallas-based GHA Architects will design the park. Groundbreaking was scheduled to begin in the fall of 2013. It was announced that construction on the Grand Texas Theme Park would begin once the construction of Big Rivers is in operations. On December 14, 2017, the groundbreaking ceremony for Big Rivers Waterpark and Gator Bayou Adventure Park was held.
The Big Rivers and Gator Bayou Adventure Park were originally scheduled to open on June 29, 2018 but has been delayed because of inclement weather during construction. Big Rivers and Gator Bayou Adventure Park opened to the public on May 25, 2019.
