Amusement Park In Houston?
Earthquest Adventure Set To Be Built In New Caney

EmailPrintNEW CANEY, Texas -- Astroworld shut down almost five years ago. Since then, you've asked us to check out rumors of new parks, from Disney to dinosaurs, anywhere from Conroe to Katy.

WATCH IT: Amusement Park In Houston?
FIND IT: Earthquest Adventures | East Montgomery County Improvement District


Now, there are real plans for a mega theme park on the Houston area's north side. There's no construction yet, but developers insist it is for real.

The theme park is planned on 1,600 acres near the intersection of Highway 59 North and Roman Forest in New Caney.

"It's not an 'if,' it's a 'when',"said Frank McCrady, president and chief executive officer of the East Montgomery County Improvement District.

"We didn't spent the time, the money and the effort not to be successful," said John Marlin, a real estate developer at Martin Atlantis, which is developing the park.

Marlin says in 2013 or 2014, the wooded acres along the freeway will be transformed into a massive, theme park and amusement park mix called Earthquest Adventure park. It'll have rides, roller coasters, a water park and a family entertainment center.

"We're comfortable in saying we'll be successful," Marlin said.

Comfort comes in numbers, and the developers of Earthquest think they have them. The site was originally found by a dinosaur expert who wanted to open a dino-themed park. He spent two years looking for the right spot by testing more than 80 different cities in 20 states. He settled on the land in New Caney.

Marlin and new developers came in when the dinosaur park plans changed, and they decided on the Earthquest idea. Developers say studies show more than 6.5 million people live within two hours of the proposed park site. The same study says there are 18 million people within four hours.

"I think everyone was surprised when that study came back and showed that a world-class themed attraction with an investment level of $500 to $600 million was feasible in Houston," said Marlin.

That big money buys a park that's described as a little Disney and a little Astroworld. Along with the rides and a water park, there would be hotels, a conference center and a huge mall-like dining and shopping area. It'll all have the Earthquest nature theme.

The master plan has parts of the park spread on both sides of Highway 59, including what the developers call a large eco-tourism area.

"It's where families can come camp, hike and bike trails, rope courses, horseback riding," Marlin said. "They can get a feel for nature and have fun back in the woods."

So far, investors have pumped $30 million into the project just for the land and plans. The state and the East Montgomery County Improvement District have offered up tax incentives, too.

McCrady says Earthquest is more of a gift than a gamble, and there was competition.

"From our board's perspective, we were not going to allow Dallas to have this project," McCrady said. "It's coming to Houston."

The question now, will it all really come together? Plans and drawings are one thing, but reality can be another. Developers say that even with a poor economy, the plans are in place and they're currently acquiring capital loans and investments.

The proof would obviously come in construction. That could be at least a year away. So far, the improvement district says at least 10 hotel sites are under option near the site.

Businesses are already betting on the park. Developers say Earthquest could create up to 17,000 new jobs.

But until it's here, Houston waits. Many are hoping it's not another roller coaster ride to nowhere.
