Schlitterbahn park planned for Galveston

Very welcome news for the Houston area, and Galveston hasn't had a major park in a long time (I believe there is already a small fry waterpark or two on the island, but nothing of this magnitude). There has been a lot of island development lately, with Landry's also proposing to build a pier based park and hotel in the near future.

And considering Six Flags has invested $0 in Splashtown in North Houston since they bought the place, and everyone thinks it's a total dump, I wouldn't be surprised if Splashtown takes a big hit that year despite being an hour away.

This is great news. My Son and I was just at Schlitterbahn three weeks ago. We traveled from Chicago to both Schlitterbahns (New Brunfield & So. Padre Island) every year for the past three. It looks like we have to add Galevaston in 2005. Just a side note, if you like waterparks, you will love Schlitterbahn. They have taken the whole waterpark industry to a higher level. Its well worth the drive.

Amazing, you edited that last post twice and didn't fix "Galveston" either time.

This is great knews for myself and others in the Houston area. A Schlitterbahn park there would be great. As far as other water parks in Galveston go there are none. There is a small hill near the beach front that has a smaller slide running through it but nothing worth the time. As for the Landrys entertainment complex they showed that on the news about 2 years ago with a nice Out and back woodie crossing over the water where the Flagship hotel now stands but I havent seen any signs of it down there. I would get some nice Consctruction photos but there are NONE. Oh well.

What IF the whole world farted at once?!

I don't believe the land deal for the Landry's pier is finalized yet... it'll probably happen eventually.

Here are the Flagship hotel renderings...
