Sesame Place Texas

Sesame Place Texas was the second Sesame Place built by Busch Entertainment following the success of the Pennsylvania location. Unlike the Pennsylvania location, it was almost entirely indoors. However, the park was shuttered in 1984 due to competition.

Fate
After the park's closure, not much is known about the rides if they were scrapped or relocated to other Busch Entertainment parks, but the Texas Sesame Place sign became the sign for the original.

Busch originally hoped to find a use for the site, but ended selling it. Today, the site is home to a Walmart, a Best Western, and fast food joints.
