$2B Disneyland-sized theme park planned for Oklahoma along Route 66
Developers say the 125-acre world-class theme park is comparable in size to Disney's Magic Kingdom and Disneyland Park

By Greg Wehner FOXBusiness

A new, $2 billion theme park and resort is being planned for northeast Oklahoma, which is expected to be comparable in size with Walt Disney’s Magic Kingdom Theme Park.

Dubbed the American Heartland Theme Park and Resort, the 1,000-acre development just west of Grand Lake on Route 66 will include a 125-acre theme park that the company says will offer a unique experience that rivals the world’s top resort destinations.

"We are thrilled to make Oklahoma the home of American Heartland Theme Park and Resort," American Heartland CEO Larry Wilhite said in a press release on Wednesday. "At the crossroads of the heartland, Oklahoma is an attractive location for a family entertainment destination. The state’s business-friendly approach and innovative partnership efforts have helped make this possible. We look forward to bringing unforgettable generational experiences to Oklahoma."

The theme park will be family-friendly and include six American lands that provide guests with a walk through American history.



The sections of the park will be called Great Plains, Bayou Bay, Big Timber Falls, Stony Point Harbor, Liberty Village and Electropolis.

While walking through American history, guests will experience entertaining rides, live shows, family attractions, waterways and restaurant-quality food and beverages.

I was offered a job not far from there at the beginning of the year.  I am now very glad I did not take it.

Which company is behind the project?  And whose financial investments?  It'll take a lot of money to pull this off.

Yep, misread that. That's a relief.

I don't know, but I'd bet on Branson.

Sounds like a neo-con re-education camp posing as an amusement park, along the lines of the Nazi "Strength Through Joy" program.

I don't see Six Flags ramming a "managed" version of history into my mind as I ride the flume.

$2 billion American Heartland theme park bigger than Disney’s Magic Kingdom revealed

A Patriotic American theme park -- sounds like a winner!

The $2 billion American Heartland theme park bigger than Disney’s Magic Kingdom revealed.

Plans for a massive $2 billion theme park – that is bigger than Walt Disney's Magic Kingdom – were revealed this week. The enormous American Heartland Theme Park and Resort won't be located in Florida or California, but in Oklahoma.

Plans for the American Heartland theme park have been proposed for a 1,000-acre property in the heart of northeast Oklahoma, just west of Grand Lake on Route 66. The tourist attraction will boast a 125-acre theme park and a 300-room hotel with an indoor water park. The new attraction will boast a "nostalgic charm of a traditional amusement park."

The new park features six "distinctly American" lands: Great Plains, Bayou Bay, Big Timber Falls, Stony Point Harbor, Liberty Village, and Electropolis.

The first phase of the project – the 320-acre Three Ponies RV Park and Campground – is scheduled to open in spring 2025. The campground will be the largest campground in the central United States and will accommodate 750 RV spaces and 300 cabins with amenities.

"The 1,000-acre development will feature the 125-acre American Heartland theme park, which is comparable to the size of Magic Kingdom Theme Park and Disneyland Park," the press release reads. "The park will feature an Americana-themed environment with a variety of entertaining rides, live shows, family attractions, waterways as well as restaurant-quality food and beverage offerings. The theme park and resort are scheduled to open in fall of 2026."..................

Interesting venture in this horrible economy,  but certainly would be huge for the Tulsa region if successful.
