Most of the rides are expected to be operational by the start of the seasonal program. All rides will be complete by the start of the 2022 season.

“With the addition of the Fairgrounds, Big Rivers becomes the newest amusement park destination in the greater Houston area” says Monty Galland, founder of Big Rivers Waterpark andamp; Adventures. “With 11 amusement park rides, including a spinning coaster, Big Rivers will be a year-around destination. Waterpark, Adventure Park and now Amusement Park, we anticipate guests will be coming back multiple times each year just to do it all!” Mr. Galland was quick to reassure that the addition of the Fairgrounds is not replacing plans for Grand Texas, a large-scale amusement park for which the developer has set aside over 140 acres. “The rides at the Fairgrounds will be a lot of fun for all ages, but the themed attractions of Grand Texas are still forthcoming.”

Some highlights of The Fairgrounds include:
• Rolling Thunder – a spinning rollercoaster.
• SPINdletop – a pendulum that swings riders a full 360 degrees.
• Lafitte’s Fury – a rocking pirate ship.
• Screaming Eagles – a family attraction where the rider controls the flight path.
• And 7 more rides, from kiddie to thrill rides.

Big Rivers Waterpark and Adventures is located at 23101 TX 242, New Caney, TX 77357, 1 mile
