I just read a March 31, 2011 news announcement that stated that Disney is building a Texas theme park north of Houston in The Woodlands.
THE WOODLANDS, Texas The Woodlands real estate community received a much needed boost this week when the Township announced that they closed on the sale of 1,300 acres to The Walt Disney Company (NYSE: DIS) for a planned Texas-themed attraction.
The land sale abuts the Spring Creek Greenway north of the newly developed Village of Creekside park, and would remain largely forested even after development, according to Township officials.
A new Texas-themed park, tentatively identified as Frontierland Texas could open as early as 2013, according to sources close to the negotiations. It would be Disneys first new greenfield park construction
project in the US since 1971. Currently Disney operates theme parks in Florida and California in the United States, as well as parks in Paris, Tokyo and Hong Kong."
It goes on to say:
"A joint news conference hosted by The Woodlands Township Board of Directors and officials of The Walt Disney Company is slated for Monday morning at the Woodlands Waterway Marriott. Architectural drawings of the theme park attraction are expected to be unveiled."
At first I thought this was an April Fool's joke, but this sounds legitimate. Does anyone else know anything?
