lockmat Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 No problem. Here's some more I received when I sent a second email asking for hours.We are open Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m to 5:00 p.m. Someone is not always here that can show you the pictures so it might be good to call before you come. Mr. McCrady is the most knowledgeable, but I can help you or our secretary Sandy. Our receptionist would not be able to help you as she is a temp at this point.

Mister X Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Here are some drawings of EarthQuest I found on sixflagshouston.com The park will be fantastic if it is built like this. The layout reminds me very much of Busch Gardens in Virginia. The theme park itself is said to be 150 acres. That does not include parking, the resort, the waterpark, the research area, or the museum. If this drawing is drawn to scale, I estimate that the theme park will be bigger than AstroWorld was or Six Flags over Texas is now. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this pans out.

mojeaux131 Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Er...anyway, as a huge dinosaur nerd, I hope they have really high-quality sculptures and animatronics. It JUST SO happens there's a world-class company that does this, right in Texas! Check it out! I hope they use this company. Well, if they can't get Stan Winston to do it, that is. http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dw...ry.2c5b346.html http://www.billingsproductions.com/ Also, they should have dromaeosaurs. Lots and lots of dromaeosaurs. Toe-clawin', pack huntin', action extravaganza. Oh yeah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is anticipated to provide more than 2,700 jobs, plus thousands of construction jobs, and draw about 2.5 million visitors annually. The price tag has grown to 10 times the first-reported amount.

Trae Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 There has been word at another forum that Universal may be getting involved with this park. Mostly to stake a claim in Texas (Six Flags and Sea World do). That, and the guy who designed Universal Studios Island of Adventure theme park in Orlando, as well as the guy behind Universal's Jurassic Park movies, is designing this theme park. Universal Studios Texas or Universals' EarthQuest sound like some good names . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trae Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 Some news:Plan for dino park project growsBy ROYCELYN BASTIANrbastian@hcnonline.com05/02/2008Outlet malls, hotels and housing have been added to the EarthQuest Adventures Dinosaur Park project, according to the East Montgomery County Improvement District.Initially, the project was proposed to just be a museum and theme park with a net ad valorem base of $700 million. After further discussion and additional planning, more activities have been added to the scope of the project.“Since that time, we further discussed other components that will be contained in the development. Particularly a hotel site as well as other retail opportunities,” said Frank McCrady, president of EMCID. “With the investment group and developers that are looking at the project, they have gone far and above the initial concept of just a theme park.”Along with the theme park and museum, developers are now looking into putting an eco-hotel component in the project that will offer treetop lodging. On the west side of the area will be the tourism attraction where there is room for four hotels in the development.One of the biggest significant changes of the project is the ad valorem base of $700 million has increased to $1.5 billion, which includes hotel sites, outlet malls, outlet retail as well as low-, mid- and high-density housing.“If you break apart the project, the majority of the housing development is contained for the Roman Forest community and the retail and outlet side is contained in the transportation corridor of U.S. Highway 59 on both sides,” McCrady said.More: http://www.hcnonline.com/site/index.cfm?ne...32207&rfi=8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me give you an idea as to a potential name of the project if Universal Studios comes aboard...... Guess who owns the rights to "Jurassic Park?" And guess what theme park has "Jurassic Park: The Ride" in use currently? (HINT: Its in Japan) Universal Studios and a Dino-Themed Park....I can see the name coming already.... "Universal Studios: Jurassic Park" Now that right there has "tourist attraction" written all over it..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
