Who’s down for a road trip? A $2 billion theme park and resort is in the works about 4.5 hours northeast of Fort Worth in Oklahoma.

The 1,000-acre American Heartland Theme Park and Resort will be located just west of Grand Lake on Route 66. It will be developed by American Heartland, an affiliate of Mansion Entertainment Group.

The entertainment destination will be built in stages starting with a 320-acre Three Ponies RV Park and Campground that will open in the spring of 2025. The area will feature 750 RV spaces, 300 cabins, and amenities.

The 125-acre adventure park and resort will open the following year with a collection of six different themed parks, a 300-room hotel, and an indoor water park.

Guests will journey through America with thrilling rides and captivating stories as they discover the Great Plains, Bayou Bay, Big Timber Falls, Stony Point Harbor, Liberty Village, and Electropolis.

For size comparison, the Oklahoma park will be larger than both Orlando’s 107-acre Magic Kingdom and California’s 100-acre Disneyland.
