asubrt Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 (edited) http://www.29-95.com...-opening-may-25 Soft opening is this weekend. Can't wait to see it lit up at night. Here's a picture I took yesterday, including the ferris wheel they just put up... Edited November 15, 2018 by asubrt 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crunchtastic Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 They've poured concrete on a couple of blocks for parking across from the pier adjacent to Fish Tales, but it looks as if it's only about 300-ish spaces. It was half full just with workers. I'm guessing there's shuttle service to and from another location, but no one we asked knew where that was.

Kev74 Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 I bet not one person associated with this project ever even considered for one second that a hurricane might ever hit Galveston. I bet they now wish that they had a person like you working for them so they had not gone to all this trouble. Just because that pier has been standing there for almost 70 years is no guarantee that it will be there for 70 more. I bet they didn't even go to the trouble of refurbishing, retrofitting and strengthening the pier structure during the last 12 months before they started building on it.You would think that Fertitta would have learned his lesson after Hurricane Ike destroyed most of the Kemah Boardwalk. But no, like the bad businessman he is, he just re-built Kemah where the people come in droves to spend money on an amusement park that is destined to be destroyed again and now has gone on to build another amusement park that is certainly doomed to natural disaster. What must he be thinking? Doesn't Fertitta realize just how rickety a 70 year old pier is?I wonder where Fertitta is from - that he isn't aware that Galveston gets hit by hurricanes from time to time.Y'all should check out the construction photos posted on the Pleasure Pier facebook page before a hurricane comes and blows it all into the ocean. Even the facebook page will probably be destroyed soon - so hurry!http://www.facebook....estonislandpierIt will be interesting to see how they handle a hurricane and see what the aftermath looks like. I'm sure Feritta probally has the whole thing insured so I don't think he's worried. Tho I'm surprised they didn't just build a new pier which I think would have been better. Oh and they really need some sort of walkway over the seawall, there is just too many people crossing the street. It's an accident waiting to happen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triton Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 Probably some of my favorite pics on the website. Too bad there isn't a wallpaper sized addition of the last photo.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mlyoung83 Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Largest resolution I have is 3300x2300 on these pics. Although they look terrific, they were actually done with a 10 year old camera. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amlaham Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 https://www.bizjournals.com/houston/news/2022/03/02/tilman-fertitta-landrys-pier-21-galveston.html Tilman Fertitta is likely taking over the lease at Pier 21. The pier is already nice, but I know Fertitta will make it look even nicer and attract more people to this side of the island! I have a feeling big things are planned! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
