'Texas-sized fun for everyone,' Texas theme park could come as early as 2026
A place made by Texans for Texans. That's the one thing Texas is missing, according to Stanford graduate Lizzy McGee.The idea has been in the works since the start of the pandemic in 2020 when McGee sat down with her family and had a light-bulb moment: Texas needs its own Texas-themed theme park.
"I don't think the rides would be the focus ... you're probably doing one to two rides per hour," McGee said."But you could also spend the day eating and drinking around Texas." With the Texas population booming and as the second most populous state, McGee said Texas having its own theme park is a"match made in heaven."
The Texas-centric theme park is still in the early stages of development, but McGee has big plans and hopes the theme park could be open in just three years.
