$2 billion theme park opening in Oklahoma

A new Disney-sized theme park is in the works, but it's not coming to Florida. American Heartland announced Wednesday a $2 billion theme park is coming soon to Oklahoma – and it's "unlike anything else in the region," according to a press release. The American Heartland Theme Park will be located along Route 66 in northeast Oklahoma. The 1,000-acre development, which includes a 125-acre theme park, RV park and campground, 300-room hotel and indoor water park, is slated to open in two phases – the first in spring 2025 and the second in 2026.

Florida is about to get a brand new indoor water park and resort – and it's the chain's biggest location yet. 

Great Wolf Lodge is opening its 21st and largest resort yet in Naples, and it's expected to open in spring or summer of 2024, according to its website. The resort will sit on 20 acres and will feature 500 suites, plus a 100,000-square-foot indoor water park. 

It'll be located near the Interstate-75 and Collier Boulevard interchange next to the Paradise Coast Sports Complex. 

In addition to an indoor water park that's open year-round, Great Wolf Lodge's Naples location will also have an adventure park, event spaces, daily events and good eats for the whole family.
