rhaig 0 #51 August 28, 2009 the extreme sports park and water park have been put on hold north of austin. (between round rock and cedar park) Not cancelled, put on hold. I live 5min from the proposed site. Know people on community boards. That's how I hear these things. the assertion earlier in the thread was that the waterpark and extreme sports park were the same site as the proposed wind tunnel.-- Rob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
