Theme Park for Houston

[Amlaham]

I remember vaguely that Mayor Turner and Houston First were trying to get a theme park into our city since we're the only major city without one. Well, Therme Group is European wellness theme park that is looking to expand into the US. It just worked with city officials in DC to open their first US location there. The company has also been looking at Dallas and LA. Feel like we will be left out.....again. This project would be a good fit for Houston, especially since its mainly caters towards adults and specifically for "wellness." We were recently named one of the most stressed cities in the nation 😂

I'm going to email the mayor and Houston first......is there anyone in particular that I can get to look into this?

I wouldn't get my hopes up about this. 

Essentially, it's like one of those Great Wolf Lodges, but without the kids. 

From the web site, of the dozen or so places they've announced, only three have opened — two in Germany, and one in Romania.

"In February 2020, right before the pandemic, Turner sent an email that read, "I have decided to name the Theme Park Task Force the end of the week. Orlando has a population of about 250,000 people but receives 75 million visitors a year. We need another major attraction."

A city staffer replied, "Hershend (Dollywood) signed a real estate deal with Cushman (Dave Cook) for seeking sites and related real estate services. Of course, the task force could also work with other producers."
