New Trampoline Waterpark Splashes Into Houston After Dallas Debut: Texas Amusement Parks Are Suddenly Wet and Crazy
BY Annie Gallay //This trampoline waterpark is a giant obstacle course.
So, you’re bouncing around ideas about what to do this summer, how to stay cool and have fun. Forget about just another old beach trip. Maybe stop bouncing around ideas, and actually bounce. On water.
A new trampoline waterpark is coming to the Houston area. You think walking on water sounds incredible? Just think about leaping and jumping on it.
The opening date for this new Altitude H20 trampoline aqua park hasn’t been revealed yet, but it is on track to open this summer. Once the new park debuts, it will be open seven days a week, with hours running from 10 am to 5 pm during the soft opening, stretching out until 7 pm daily after the official grand opening.
Rather than a straight theme park-like daily admissions cost, the trampolines will be available in sessions you sign up to do. A 45-minute jumping session will cost $20; a 90-minute session runs $30. Ages 6 and up can participate.
Altitude H20 opened the first mega aqua park in Grapevine in the last few weeks. It’s the largest floating, inflatable wonderland in the entire Lone Star State at a crazy 25,000 square feet.
“It’s basically a giant obstacle course,” Ryan Castle, a manager at the Grapevine waterpark, tells PaperCity. It’s a no-holds-barred, exhilarating experience with climbers, slides, trampolines, a half-pipe and more.
The new Houston area location will be in Wake Nation, a haven for water sports on a giant lake in Rosharon. Think wake boarding, boating, kayaking, aerial ropes courses and more. This sprawling trampoline waterpark will fit right in.
If you want a challenge on top of your adrenaline rush, go for the action towers. “It’s probably the hardest one to climb up. You’ve got to use your body strength to get to the top. Then you can leap off of it, or use the slide,” Castle says.
Castle’s favorite is the inflatable dock. One brave guest crawls out and gets seated on the end. Then, take off — another water-faring guest leaps from a platform above onto the dock, sending the seated guest flying through the air.
Guests have flocked to the Grapevine location, some from as far away as Arizona and Oklahoma, Castle notes. “On the weekends, we’re definitely selling out every single session,” he says.
“The biggest thing is that there aren’t that many places around here that are like this. It’s the only attraction like this in the area.”
And there’s another waterpark coming to Houston. Big Rivers Waterpark is scheduled to open in mid-July, bringing a wonderland of water slides and wave pools. But no trampolines.
