More actions
Adventure Pointe is an amusement park currently under construction in Texas City, Texas, USA. The park's construction has been at a standstill for several years amid several lawsuits.
History
Adventure Pointe was the brainchild of Dr. Harvey E. Slusky and his wife, Lisa. Slusky's father, Louis Slusky, was the creator of nearby Playland Park.[1]
The park was originally scheduled to open in 2015 and was to include three themed sections: the Great Outdoors, the Pirate Village and Exploration Island, and a Speedway station.[2] Infrastructure work did not begin until 2015, with additional side work beginning the following August.[3]
Permits were issued for the park's first two buildings, the Main Street building and the Pirate Ship building, in March 2017.[3]
On September 23, 2019, Slusky sued the park's developers for gross mismanagement.[4]
In August 2022, park owners claimed that Tiny Town Studios LLC, who had been hired to construct the park, breached their contract.[5]
