Galveston Pleasure Pier To Open Memorial Day

The Galveston Pleasure Pier is a $60 million dollar job by Landry's Inc

. owner Tilman Fertita. With plans to open up the pier on Memorial Day, May 28th, Fertita hopes the pier is going to take on Coney Island's Luna Park, Chicago's Navy Pier, and the Santa Monica Pier. The 1,200 foot pier is based on 25th and Seawall at the old site of Flagship Hotel which was ruined by Hurricane Ike in 2008. The pier will include 16 rides and is going to possess the highest ride in Texas. Of the 16 rides available some of the remarkable features contain a 200 foot high swing system (the highest in Texas), a 100 foot tall Ferris wheel with programmable LED lights, a 100 foot vertical lift metal coaster, and an array of rides that head out above the Gulf of Mexico.

The Galveston Pleasure Pier is getting revived for the third time in the gulf coast city's historical past. The initial rendition was initially at the foundation connected with the present pier and had been given the name the Electric Park. The Electric Park was marketed as "The Coney Island of the South" and had been opened in 1906. The park had been available for 9 years just before getting messed up by the 1915 Galveston hurricane.

The second version of the park begun as a leisure pier for military households for the duration of World War II. At the conclusion of World War II it was switched over to the city whom consequently established the pleasure pier. The pier was stuffed with midway games, an aquarium tank, amusement rides, and an arcade. This 2nd adaptation of the Galveston Pleasure Pier held up very nearly 20 years previous to being ruined greatly by Hurricane Carla in 1961. In relation to the hazard of a natural disaster wrecking the 3rd variation of the park Fertita expresses, "That's why you pay high insurance premiums"

The Galveston Pleasure Pier is going to be open 270 days a year similar to the Kemah Boardwalk routine. Landry's Inc. estimates that the amusement pier will have 3 million tourists regularly. The pier will place a retail facility referred to as Shops at Pleasure Pier combined with the state's very first Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. restaurant. A auto parking lot will be located towards the west of Fish Tales, a Landry's managed restaurant. The Historic Galveston Pleasure Pier will draw a variety of age types and thrill searchers alike.
