Screamscape updated today with a link to their list of attractions, so check that out. If the pictures are accurate, Timber! (the woodie) will be an Intamin Prefab and Widowmaker (The major steel coaster) will be a Vekoma death machine.

This is the link from screamscape's website. They also posted the website link on Grand Texas facebook. I really like the flat rides they have listed. Grand Texas should be closing on the land very soon since they want a 2015 opening. Re: New Park in Houston AreaFrom Grand Texas Theme Park's Facebook today.
I believe this is the announcement of the land purchase and the start date of construction. Houston might actually get a theme park. Re: New Park in Houston Areahttp://blog.chron.com/primeproperty/2013/07/developers-close-on-land-for-new-caney-theme-park/?cmpid=businesshcat
Sounds like Houston will finally get a theme park. Re: New Park in Houston AreaInteresting. We will have to see if they really do break ground by the end of the year. Not long to wait!
Re: New Park in Houston AreaI'm super stoked for this. It seems like these guys have the right idea and they seem to have all of their ducks in a row. This has the potential to be a neat park, and I really want to see a new amusement park succeed in America for once. Fourth time's the charm?
Re: New Park in Houston AreaWith how amateurish this looked at the beginning, I am pretty shocked they are at this stage.

Re: New Park in Houston Area"Developers hope an empty, heavily wooded plot of land in New Caney will transform into a thriving entertainment district by 2015- complete with a theme park, water park and a new dining and music scene and more elaborate attractions.
Construction will begin on the Grand Texas Theme Park in October to be ready for a grand opening in March 2015 if all goes according to plan, said Monty Galland, a pre-development manager for the project. Developers and officials in Montgomery County will close by the end of April on land on State Highway 242 and U.S. Highway 59, about 15 miles from the Woodlands and 10 miles north of Kingwood. The cost of the water park, theme park, amphitheater and paintball arena, which will be supported by Galland's group, will cost $119 million. The other developments, which include restaurant and hotel areas, will add $95 million to the overall cost. The project was discussed at a Feb. 14 board meeting of the East Montgomery County Improvement District. Developers project first year attendance to be around 665,000 to eventually reach about 1.8 million after several years. "It's designed to focus on the residents of Houston," Galland said. "There is no large-scale park north of the Interstate 10 freeway. ... We really feel like there is a void in this area." Galland said the idea is larger than a theme park and conceives of an entertainment district, complete with a water park, an amphitheater, a baseball stadium and a shopping and dining area." http://www.chron.com/news/houston-texas/houston/article/New-Houston-area-theme-park-under-development-4293888.php supposedly, this park will open in 2015 but I can bet that it wont.
