Tilman Fertitta, who built a fortune with a showman's flair, is resurrecting one of Galveston's most iconic tourist attractions - the Pleasure Pier. The $60 million project will put a roller coaster and Ferris wheel over the Gulf of Mexico and is expected to encourage visitors to extend their trips to the island.

Roughly thirty miles, and this place and Kemah are Landry's properties

The Iron Shark coaster! Iron Wolf, Draggin', now a shark. Very cool though.
