Disney4me Posted July 20, 2023 Report Share Posted July 20, 2023 A lot of new theme parks are in the works across the U.S. ©American Heartland Universal is adding a new park, Epic Universe, to its Universal Orlando resort, while the company is also planning a new theme park experience for Texas. Well, ANOTHER new theme park is also on the way, and it’s being created by former Disney Imagineers. The theme park is called American Heartland and it’s a $2 billion theme park and resort project located in northeast Oklahoma. The resort will span 1,000 acres, and it will include a 125-acre theme park about the size of Disney World’s Magic Kingdom, as well as a large RV park with cabins, a dinner theatre, an amphitheater, a swimming pool, a clubhouse, and more. There will even be a water park. ©American Heartland Perhaps what really makes this theme park a game-changer, though, is that several former Disney Imagineers are on the park’s development team. ©American Heartland The theme park will feature six lands themed to Americana: Liberty Village, Great Plains, Bayou Bay, Bit Timber Falls, Stony Point Harbor, and Electropolis. There will be rides, live entertainment, family attractions, waterways, as well as restaurants. ©American Heartland “American Heartland Theme Park and Resort is a more than $2 billion entertainment destination development in northeast Oklahoma, just west of Grand Lake on Route 66. The development will be built in phases starting with a large-scale RV park with cabins, a film and television studio and a world-class theme park and resort. The American Heartland Theme Park will offer a visitor experience rivaling the world’s top resort destinations,” writes Founder & Chief Creative Officer Gene Bicknell on American Heartland’s website. ©American Heartland Liberty Village will even have a site a lot of Disney World fans might find familiar: there will be a Liberty Belle in the heart of Town Square. This reminds us a lot of Liberty Square in Magic Kingdom! ©American Heartland The RV park area is expected to open as early as 2025, with the America Heartland Theme Park opening sometime in 2026. So mark those calendars because there will soon be a NEW theme park to enjoy right in the middle of America’s Heartland.
