Building the Park: Construction Timeline
Work on the Grand Texas Theme Park began in July 2013. A company from Houston called Brae Burn Construction Company is building the first parts of the park. GHA Architects, based in Dallas, are the ones designing how the park will look.
The official start of construction, called groundbreaking, was planned for late 2013. It was later announced that building the theme park would begin after the nearby Big Rivers Waterpark was ready.
Big Rivers Waterpark Opening
On December 14, 2017, a special ceremony was held to start building Big Rivers Waterpark and Gator Bayou Adventure Park. These parks were first set to open on June 29, 2018. However, bad weather during construction caused delays. Finally, Big Rivers Waterpark and Gator Bayou Adventure Park opened to the public on May 25, 2019.
