In this video I share all of the latest details about this exciting new project, that will consist of 6 themed areas, a luxury resort hotel and a campground. Along with that I take a detailed look at the concept art and plans for American Heartland along with talking about the potential rides we could be seeing at this exciting new theme park!

I live in Oklahoma, and haven’t heard a word about it since it’s announcement. Ground for the project hasn’t been broken yet and it makes me think of it not happening any time soon or won’t at all
I agree with you. I also live here and just like the bells amusement park revival. I’m not holding my breath and just like how the outlet mall in Jenks got delayed because of the pandemic, until the park is complete. I’m not expecting it. I just hope we don’t get stuck with a half complete eyesore, if they actually start breaking ground on this.
It’ll be interesting to see what happens!
They have broken ground on the camp ground and employee housing
As an Oklahoman, I can say we desperately need more theme parks/entertainment!! And that area is pretty local for me actually, super excited for this!
It’s fantastic to see! Very excited to watch this come together!
@@ThemeParkWorldwide
Absolutely! As a local entertainer and performer, the massive increase in tourism is definitely a welcome sight
Let’s hope you don’t burn it down, like you did to ‘black Wall St.’

Excuse me??
I wasn't even alive when that terrible thing happened.
Some people LOL

We haven't had any major new parks open in the UK for ages now, this would be great over here!
It would, we don’t seem to get the investment in major new parks unfortunately
The UK is not really a theme park kind of place. Maybe if the Brexit and Covid didn't happen, then the London resort could've been realized.
The Jackalope, Bigfoot, a sea monster... looks like they are going to have rides based on American Cryptids, which is a very cool theme.
They look great!
Building this in Oklahoma is a big risk since that's not a tourist state. They would have to rely on locals. Worked there for a few years and not much going on there 😂
It’ll be interesting to see how it performs!
Exactly not to mention tornadoes and bad weather. Why did he not build this in Kansas around Wichita KS?
I love your mug collection .
Thank you!
this looks good cant wait its like the American version on the London resort but I hope this one gets built
This is the park project I’m most interested in. I’m surprised there’s no car area like Dollywoods jukebox junction, I’d have thought with Americans being so proud of their motor heritage something like that would be featured
It looks great! Possibly we could see that theme with the car transportation ride around the park!
It’s interesting a bunch of theme parks are building and opening soon. In central and central west of America. Adventures of Mattel in KC and Glendale Arizona 2026 opening for KC, 2024 in Arizona Gledale. It seems like we’re moving more central areas. More affordable and people can afford to go parks and drive in an RV or car, this will be would be great! Good accommodations a must! . Concern though tornado Alley 🌪️and we get bad weather in the Midwest all seasons. Need to build many shelters. For rv park and theme park guests can all fit in. Very challenging.
This looks fantastic, the plans are giving me London resort style vibes though so hopefully will actually get built unlike the London resort
Let’s hope so!
Yeah so sad about that but it didn’t seem to be legitimately funded from the beginning
@@86wellacre would’ve been so good to see a truly elite world class park and rides here in the uk, Alton and Thorpe are good but would love to see a mega park here in the uk on the scale of cedar point or energylandia etc
@@CoasternautYT agreed the UK is in need of a high quality immersive theme park. As fun as AT and TP are they just aren’t to that level.
Suuuuure lets build a park in Tornado alley. What could possibly go wrong?
So is World's of Fun and Adventureland Iowa.
Florida gets hurricanes. California has earthquakes. What’s your point.
It looks good but kind of gives me Disney vibes particularly the water ride that is basically splash mountain i kind of wish we got a more unique theme
I would not hold your breath that this will be built anytime soon and it will certainly not be open in 2026 - already having zoning issues and local trouble and they haven't even started laying out property markers. A lot of pipe dreams and really cool artist renderings. The Reality is - its in the middle of nowhere and will be very hard pressed to get any type of ongoing crowds enough to keep it open. Time will tell but I would not book any flights to Tulsa just yet. or the rental car you will need to get to the park over an hour away.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
They’ve run into issues partly because the city of Vinita has decided to annex into the city a bunch of big ranches that the local ranchers are none too happy about not being able to run cattle on because it’ll be officially city limits. I believe some legal action was about to follow against the city last I hear since they’ve been going cowboy on their zoning picking and choosing seemingly random areas to be apart of city limits. I know they’re some people really excited about this place, but for a lot of the local people this is already becoming a living hell having their livelihoods upended by the stroke of someone else pen.
Yes it’s exciting to see new imaginative themed rides that aren’t themed around existing properties!
It is indeed!
This looks epic really hope it gets built
Let’s hope so!
And to all the comments comments about building this in Tornado Alley….
Disneyland is built in a fault zone and on ground prone to sinkholes. Disney World is built in Hurricane “alley”. Oklahoma City already has a theme park (as well as a water park), which was hit in 1998 and has had a few other near-misses. These rides are legally built to withstand these types of natural occurrences of the area that they’re located.
Not only that, but you can’t just not build something somewhere in fear that something might happen, someday. There is no safe place in this world, between Mother Nature and humans, sadly. So we might as well have a good time while we have time. :)
Like Shawn said, good ideas never die at Disney- and with so many Imagineers on the project, I’m getting some “Disney’s America” vibes, the proposed park for Virginia years ago
It’s great to see!
Sounds awesome and I can see a "boom" of the surrounding area happening over time. Everything will need to be built really well also as it is a high risk state for major tornados. I am sure that has more than been taken into consideration!! Exciting!
We need a British Heartland Theme Park 😂
This looks and sounds amazing!!!
Seeing stuff this makes me wonder what American Adventure could have been if it had survived with some good investment and was given some modern refurbishments and expansions. I still miss that place.
It was such a great park and the theming was really good for it’s time!
Electropolis actually looks very similar to the old menlow park where Thomas Edison demonstrated the first electric lightbulb. He demonstrated the idea by wiring the entire place with electric lights and a big bulb at the top of the tower showing how different the world would become just with his invention. Nicola Tesla was there actually learning which helped him understand the concept of AC power. Unfortunately the two were scientific rivals often bickering on what electricity type was best. Tesla won due to AC being able to be stepped down at substations while DC could not. Very few of the Edison lightbulbs are still around actually only a single one is still alight and that’s at a firehouse in nyc with a webcam on it 24/7. That bulb doesn’t really give off that much light at all because of the wiring compound which isn’t tungsten but it still glows somehow.

Ohhh, I am super stoked for this! I do wish it was closer to central OK but I kinda see why they did it like this. I’m just glad that our flyover state may have a new tourist attraction in the near future. Thank you for sharing this! My son is already planning for his 13th birthday party to be there lol
I’ve watched most of your videos but I haven’t come across one of you at Frontier City in Oklahoma City. If you ever find yourself in OKC for some reason or another, it’s definitely a very underrated theme park. It’s small but mighty and I’m so glad that Six Flags didn’t change the originality of it when they purchased it a couple years back.
Living in Colorado and with a new park that close this is awesome.
Now this is what a theme park should be like - the major rides should have their own space and take you on a journey. The swamp thrill ride intrigues me - I wonder if it will be like Jaws?
Completely different subject, but the Uk theme park awards are closing today! Don’t forget to vote! (Voted for you on content creator)
Thank you so much!
Oklahoma needs more theme parks!!
Interesting if it happens. Another city was going to do a park but that has gone to the wayside. It would be good for the local economy if it happens. Would save many a trip to silver dollar city in Branson. Being from tn, this reminds me more of dollywood but with a Midwest and swamp section.
Thx for the great update - this looks amazing doesn’t it? I’m getting the Disney vibes aswell - I think it’s the quality of the concept art and the way the theming engulfs the very thing rather than a set of rides in boxes with no connection. It looks great….
I hope they have good insurance cause it looks like that’s on flatlands in Oklahoma is active for tornadoes🌪️
Disneyland was built on a fault that could pop any minute. Disney World is in an area with a history of hurricanes and predictions of them becoming worse. So.
I share your enthusiasm Shawn, but, I'd have preferred a known established entity like Cedar Fair or Herschend Family Entertainment (my choice) be behind something like this, not Six Flags. First, out of the gate, the RV Park. I know this area of Oklahoma well Shawn, there's nothing there brother. Cart before the horse I feel. Who's going to book a RV park in a place in the middle of nowhere. If it was my money, build the park start to finish, not in phases, and include the RV park to complete the same time the park is finished. When you drag it out over years the funding you initially raise is worth less and less each year
Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
Close to Silver Dollar City Branson Mo.
Great news update as always Shawn
Nice collection of mugs
Excellent coverage, as usual. We drive through this area a few times every year along old Route 66, and if this massive construction and influx doesn't destroy my favorite place to eat Chicken-fried Steak in the local small town, I'll be thankful.
Hmm. They'll be taking lots of inspiration from Disney, but "Big Timber Falls" and "Bigfoot Falls" sound very reminiscent of certain Knott's Berry Farm attractions!
Happy travels to you and Charlotte. Blow a kiss to Popeye for us!
Thanks for sharing!
Heyyyyyy again another awesome vlog ❤
Thank you!
Are you going to use same car hire firm as last American trip 🤣🤣 great video as always
No hire car for this one!
Epic park design. 👍
Cannot Wait!!
Maybe the guy can step in and save wilko
If only you had enough to buy wilko out of administration
Bayou bay is deffo a New Orleans theme. Love that look. Like princess and the frog disney theme
Looks fantastic!
When I think epic universe is coming in 2024 and how far construction is . I’m skeptical about 2025
Awesome Video 😄😄
Thank you!
Enjoy Florida
epic universe. Looks good. 👍🇺🇸
Epic Universe we are very excited for!
@@ThemeParkWorldwide 👍 🙂
So that means you going do one of your let’s play planet coaster to predict want is going to be in America Heartland theme park.
This is. Cool 👍
My guess is the Charlottes web ride is based on the book which is a good piece of children’s storytelling. The jackalope coaster is based on an old creature of western lore called a jackalope which is actually a rabbit or wild hare with antlers which is completely harmless but actuality it’s a rabbit or hare that was infected with a fungus that has odd growths everywhere, my guess is the ride has lots of bunny hops to simulate that hopping motion.
Now I thought I had a coffee cup collection lol dangggg Shaun how many cups do you have????
Thank you! Over 300 mugs!
when is your first video in florida coming to youtube
Our vlogs are starting now!
Wonderful 🌟 project 🎢 for folkss 🏡🎡🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽
Are you at Florida yet
We are!
Could the charlottes web ride be one of them new intamin dynamic motion stages like danse macabre at efteling it would fit because ones of charlottes webs main characters is a spider and spiders spin webs and this is obviously a spinning ride was also being a very immersive attraction i think it would be a great fit
Possibly so!

FIRST COMMENT
Actually this park was supposed to be Disney’s America theme park which never was built due to unavailable land, Disney was still looking last I checked on it. It was supposed to have rides and stuff based on classical American history but also a huge baseball stadium. Walt Disney himself created the concept but it never got to fruition. I guess someone beat him to it. I worry though as Oklahoma is right in the middle of Tornado Alley and all the hard work could be gone and the park will go into ruin.
Americans know this aint gonna happen.
Disney Imagineering today is borderline trash. Maybe because of money constraints…I don’t know!
No way in hell this is getting off the ground as is. It's in a horrible location with nothing around it, not enough people to run a park of this scale, very poor weather conditions a good chunk of the year, $2 Billion isn't enough money to fund a project of this scale, etc. It sounds nice on paper but the reality is it's just not gonna happen.
Let’s see what happens!
I thought America was in trillions of dollars in debt lol how did they get billions to make this ????? lol
I believe the investor created pizza hut or something like it.... I could be wrong. he is very old and worth billions.
It’s a private investor
