Great America To Be Sold Again?

The NFL: Paving over amusement parks since 2005! Those 8 whole home games a year sure require a massive infrastructure to pull off, don't they? -
If you are coming for Kema, ITZ might be out of the way. It's located off of HWY 249, just north(I believe) of FM 1960, right in front of the Aerodrome. Hope that helps It'z is right across the highway from my hospital. Corner of 249 and 1960. It's only as out of the way as were you plan to go at the end of the day, but unless one is just dying to get an extra (vekoma kiddie) credit, you're right that it probably isn't worth the drive. There's not much else to do there.

There's this place called IT'z in Northwest houston that has an indoor kiddie coaster credit (unpowered) and an indoor diskO, but I don't think they'd let us on the coaster even with the babies. As far as carrabbas goes, I'm sure you know that Houston is the home to the original Carrabbas. There's dozens of them here, including 2 or 3 on my side of town. As for air conditioning at Kemah, I don't think any of the 8 million Landry's restaurants will be open that early, but it should be fairly cool in the AM by the end of the month.

We can have the womans watch the babies. That's their job, right? I don't know what your plans are in Houston the rest of the day, but we plan to head on over to the Texas Renaissance Festival later that afternoon. No, we're not renfest dorks. We like to make fun of renfest dorks while simultaneously eating their food and poking at their crudely made craftwares. Matt

TPR 2008 Trips! Download the flyers here!

I still regret having to back out of the Midwest trip this year due to our new baby (don't regret the baby, however!). I don't think schedule wise I can make any of the longer trips, but the Texas mini-trip should be golden despite the fact they're all the parks I go to normally anyways. I know the locations of several of the Carrabas between my house and Kemah, which has to be on the itinerary (too bad there isn't much else to do in Houston these days). Matt edit: by the way, due to a new law Texas public schools are starting much later than they used to this school year, whic -
http://www.hcnonline.com/site/news.cfm? ... 2249&rfi=6 I haven't seen mention of this at any enthusiast site, but it looks amazing! "The dinosaur park, a $500 million project, will be built in East Montgomery County with the intention of having a dinosaur museum for children and adults to learn about the animals, a theme park consisting of roller coasters and water rides and a thematic hotel and spa that will be built within the park."

Hey there, everybody. I know I haven't posted much since my wife and I got all pregnant and had to back out of this summer's trips, but I just wanted to let anyone coming through or living in Houston know that they opened this place called "It'Z" literally right across the street from my hospital and it has what appears to be a junior coaster (looks unpowered..we'll see) for the wee ones and an indoor DiskO. I know it's not much, but it's the best we got short of driving all the way down to Kemah for its pittance of rides and a half-finished coaster. I'll try to make it over to It'Z
