Speaking of rumors, Yesterland.com has this informative and amusing
story about the persistent Texas Disney rumor. This news about a non-existent park that some are calling Longhorn Park goes back to at least 2006, and continues to surface. The basis of the rumor seems to be that Disney may or may not have bought some property in Texas and this obviously means that a new theme park is in the works. The story includes some amusing photos as well as a history of a rumor that won't go away.
If the Texas Disney rumors were all true, Disney would now have parks
planned for Austin, Bastrop, Beaumont, Brookshire, Castroville, Celina,
College Station, Columbus, Conroe, Frisco, Frelsburg, Huntsville, Katy,
Houston, Lampasas, Lubbock, Magnolia, McKinney, Melissa, Midland-Odessa,
Montgomery, New Caney, New Waverly, Paris, Prosper, Round Top, San
Antonio, Sealy, Streetman, and Woodlawn, Texas—and undoubtedly other
Texas cities too (but I got tired of reading Google search results).
In an August 20, 2007, article in the San Antonio Express-News, business
writer Sean M. Wood wrote, “Despite what your hairdresser, grocery
store checker or barista at your favorite coffee bar tells you, the Walt
Disney Co. is not building a theme park here.”
This is a disappointment because as a quote in the article says...
There are parts of Texas whose climate is not much worse than Orlando’s
