Good to hear that fantasized versions of the past aren't still being built... but, wait.

The Sharia Law crowd loves it too!

Daniel Boone was a man, yes a BIG man, but the bear was bigger so he ran ~~like a ni~~ really fast up a tree.

Freedomland laughs at these shenanigans.

Yep, and the sad thing is, "Frontierland" would have survived and thrived until this day, unlike King's Island and Disney World which have both long since been shuttered and left to be reclaimed by Nature. That's why every other TV show nowadays is about American frontier heros.

/also see "Cattle Drive Park", still around because the rest of the shows are the ever-popular Westerns

Well Davy Crockett was killed in a bar when he was only 3.

If I remember correctly, it was at the Alamo Draft House off of 410.

TOO SOON!

A series of areas showcasing American history? I can't wait to ride the Native People's Genocide Ride! And the gen-u-wine American Slave Auction!

Being a child of the 50s, my brother and I had some of those coonskin hats. Didn't go anywhere without wearing them. We were in good company though.... there was a sea of little kids wearing those hats.

If you visit the gen-u-wine American Slave Auction first, don't worry about leaving your purchases unattended, your property is more than welcome in the "Trail of Tears" queue.

Ironically, Fess's winefields in California did become an amusement park, the present day Great American theme park is on his former land.

also, Bible Storyland lauughs at these shenannigans.

Photoshop contest for the rides/attractions based on historical events like the slave auctions and trail of tears mentioned above?

bobniborg: Photoshop contest for the rides/attractions based on historical events like the slave auctions and trail of tears mentioned above?

Photoshop thread of "Hidden/Shameful events in American history" done as Theme parks and rides would kill.

Suggestions:

The Jim Crow Experience (extra charge for rope and/or fire hoses may apply)
The Enchanted Japanese Tea Garden and Internment Camp.
Lynching Square.
The Hall of Presidential Scandals (visitors must be over 18)
