Monty Galland of Grand Texas Theme Park Will Be Wednesday Program

Monty Galland of Grand Texas Theme Park, will give us an update on the Grand Texas Theme Park.

Monty Galland is the Chief Executive Officer of GT Operating Company, the developer of Grand Texas Theme Park and Grand Texas Sports & Entertainment District.

Monty Galland started his real estate and development career in Southern California. At the height of the real estate bubble, Monty decided to transfer his real estate holdings into Texas property. On his first visit to Texas with his family over 10 years ago, they decided to immediately settle here and live in The Woodlands.

Monty was brought into the Grand Texas project at its earliest stages.

Several years ago, Monty assembled a team of attractions and amusement park veterans to lead the design process and operations.

Upon acquisition of the 610 acre site at the junction of I-69 (formerly Highway 59) and Highway 242 in Montgomery County, the team set out to take full advantage of the increased acreage by adding a variety of attractions, hospitality and accommodations designed to augment Grand Texas Theme Park.

The result has been that the Grand Texas Sports & Entertainment District, which now includes Big Rivers Waterpark, the Grand Texas Sportsplex, a professional baseball stadium, multi-use event center, a motorsports complex, almost 300,000 square feet of entertainment, dining and retail space, and the Grand Texas Theme Park.
