Hate to say it, but this seems like a scam. This is just my opinion, so take it as that. So far all I see is a cheap sign, where are all the millions of dollars of equipment thats needed to build a 600 acre theme park in 1 year from now? Or they say the waterpark will be open. A 40 acre water park in a year? seriously... the thing is still full of trees.
They have not named any professional known roller coaster companies ( to which there are few, 1 in utah and rest in europe) who's building these coasters?? Brae burn construction? ( according to wikipedia) There website says they build schools and hospitals. It also states that in 2013 a architect company based out of dallas "will" be designing the park. So they hired a construction company that would be able to give them a quote without a design? No design to completion in a year and a half 600 acres?? Only very few company's can be hired to build roller coasters into which contracts would have to signed way in advance. ( not to mention cost millions of dollars) They dont mention any investors and just say "private"...This whole 600 acres in the end would cost literally hundreds of millions. What bank or who would loan that out when Astroworld went bankrupt. Even six flags could not make it work.
Magic mountain for example is 262 acres built in 1971 and has taken 40 years to fill even a part of the park. Now im not saying this them park is expected to have record breaking coasters, by the drawings it seems more mellow and states 150 acres will be used for the theme park, which is still a huge area. I get constructions crews can get alot done in a year,more than I realize, but when you add up the whole picture it doesn't make since. And yes, it is a "projected" completion time of spring 2015, but still less than a year away and just a sign and few bulldozers? By the pictures it looks smack in the middle of a neighborhood, there just going to live year around with theme park in there backyard hearing screaming all day long?
I would love nothing more for this to be real, it would be great for the whole city. Anyone remember the The biggest boat ever being built, the "freedom ship" on the discovery channel? travels non stop around the world and stops at different countries where people can get off and explore. Basically a permanent cruise where you buy the places. The ship as big as some cities... all they showed where renderings. Turned out to be a huge scam where they took peoples deposits and investors money and ran off. They had all these professionals talking about how it was going to be built and the whole 9 yards. This could be a scam where the people get a whole bunch of investors money and it just lags on for years with slow progress, then one day oops, we can't get the right permits, flood zone, neighbor hood complaints, lawsuits, then the people disappear.
Land type scams are truly the oldest ones in the book, except instead of I got some land to sell you, its I got a theme park to sell you. Hopefully it is real, and if and when it does open I will certainly be there opening week.
