Back in July, the Oklahoma people were greeted by the odd news that some rich dude from Kansas was going to build a 1000-acre, $2-billion dollar RV Resort and ‘Merica-themed Amusement Park in the Grand Lake of Northeastern Oklahoma.
The place is called the American Heartland Theme Park, but we affectionately dubbed it White Trash Disneyland.
Despite the release of fancy renderings by organizers, the news generated its fair share of raised eyebrows, head scratches, and “LOL Yeah Rights” by locals, politicians, and industry experts alike, but according to Michael McNutt of NonDoc – the king of the Oklahoma theme park beat – people in the northeast corner of the state are proceeding like this thing is going to happen.
