Still, they had a Sega City when it opened and a cool multistory movie theater, so I loved it.
Lacked ice skating rink so it was definitely not as good a hang as Northcross, but better than Highland or Barton Creek. Especially since Aladdin's Castle went bankrupt before Sega City or Tilt.

The mall was originally proposed in the mid 80s but was delayed nearly a decade for a number of reasons.
First there was the Texas real estate crash in the late 80s which resulted in a lot of developments being put on hold or cancelled altogether. Then there were further delays for environmental reasons due to the discovery of small caves containing endangered beetles on the property (I believe). Finally broke ground in 1994.
Interesting tidbit - the land the mall is located on was originally in the city of Cedar Park but was later transferred to and is still in the city of limits Austin. That's why the mall and many of the surrounding stores have a Cedar Park mailing address.
