Earth Quest Adventures is a resort located in New Caney, Texas, approximately 25 miles (40 km) north of Houston that is scheduled to open to the public in 2013 or 2014.[1] Contour Entertainment is the resort's master planner and lead designer. The planned 1,600-acre (6.5 km2) resort will include a theme park as well as a water park, hotel, conference center, retail and office developments.[2] The size of the theme park is reported to be 200 acres (0.81 km2) on opening.[3] The first phase was planned to begin in 2008.[4][5]
The creator and founder of the park describes it as a $500 million project with about 50 rides, including being inside a volcano, an ice cave, as well as coasters, and technologies that haven’t been used before.[6] On November 17, 2010, Earth Quest was redesigned to cut the cost from $500 million to $300 million and to add construction phases. These changes are being made to secure and satisfy the project's investors.[7]
