speedracer Posted June 16, 2007 Posted June 16, 2007 Opening Fall 2009, a 250 foot tall, 35 acre man made mountain (eat that Disney!) and resort in of all places between Dallas and Ft Worth: Including a few bonafide thrill rides: Actual glacier wall, themed villages, themed indoor kiddie park (according to Park World), sounds more like something you'd see in Vegas or Orlando, all looks absolutely incredible! Check out the website for all the info (click on the middle snowflake for a virtual ride through the resort): http://bearfireresorts.com/
knottslover77 Posted June 16, 2007 Posted June 16, 2007 Wow! That looks absolutely amazing. I've got to get down their when it opens. --Jay
eskater132 Posted June 16, 2007 Posted June 16, 2007 SWEET! So, is it that gynormous structure by Grapevine Mills that is by the Gaylord Texan?
Disney Dood Posted June 16, 2007 Posted June 16, 2007 The lodge looks alot the like the AK Lodge in WDW. BTW, this looks sweet!
thefitness Posted June 16, 2007 Posted June 16, 2007 The concept art looks great. I can't imagine how awesome this will look when it's actually built.

bigboy Posted June 16, 2007 Posted June 16, 2007 This proposed resort is actually going to be in FW, not between FW and Dallas. The location is north of Alliance Airport and south of the NASCAR track, about 15 minutes west of DFW Airport. Keep in mind, this is nearly a billion dollar project and they are nowhere near done with lining up investors. I heard rumors that a recent investor recruitment meeting resulted in almost zero interest. I just don't see how an outdoor faux ski resort is going to pay off when Colorado and New Mexico resorts are a 12 hour drive from here. Who wants to ski on a fake mountain in 100 degree heat in August when you can wait 6 months and enjoy the real thing for the same price? I'll believe it when the doors open.
texasgiantrules Posted June 19, 2007 Posted June 19, 2007 Is it just me or does anyone else think this is a HUGE waste of energy?

larrygator Posted June 19, 2007 Posted June 19, 2007 Is it just me or does anyone else think this is a HUGE waste of energy? This thread or the project?
texasgiantrules Posted June 20, 2007 Posted June 20, 2007 Oh the project lol. Sorry, I should've made that clear.
