A $2.5 billion theme park in Oklahoma designed to rival Disney has stalled after a year of no construction progress.

When announced in 2023, the American Heartland Theme Park and Resort, which was set to occupy a 1,000-acre plot in northeast Oklahoma, had an opening date scheduled for 2026. With a $2.5 billion price tag, the park was planned to be the size of Disney World’s Magic Kingdom in Florida.

Despite breaking ground on the development last year, the park has not seen progress since, and the opening date has been pushed back by at least three years, according to construction officials.

The park’s design team, which includes former Disney Parks builders and “Imagineers,” told local media that several key permissions were needed before construction could continue.

“We’ll still have to wait a while for Corps of Engineer approvals,” Steve Hedrick, the executive producer, told Tulsa World in October.

“We still have some inspections that they need to do. We did some land swaps for some wetlands,” he continued. “So all of that is yet to be done, but as soon as that’s done—at least on a construction end—we’ll be ready to go. We’re within weeks of getting ready.”

Another setback hit the development when Oklahoma state legislators denied a $35 million grant that would have provided water and waste infrastructure to the site.

Newsweek contacted the office of Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt for comment on the development.

According to developer Mansion Entertainment Group, the park—with a planned camping area of 750 RV spaces and 300 cabins—would be the largest camping ground in the central U.S. once completed.

However, several stakeholders in the park have said the project owed them money. In May, the Canadian design firm Forrec filed a lien in an Oklahoma court against Mansion Entertainment, alleging the developers owed it more than $5 million in unpaid invoices.

OGB Holdings, which owns the property and premises of the theme park and camping ground, also alleged the project owed it more than $300,000.

While the project was originally given a $2 billion budget, costs increased to $2.5 billion. In May, Kristy Adams, Mansion’s senior executive vice president of marketing, told NonDoc Media that the company was “working on a new timetable.”

“We’re confident with the team that we have, if we get rolling, that we can still produce the park in time,” Adams said. “So, and I know that’s an optimistic approach, but we do have a world-class team together.”

She added, “We always said we were going to open in 2026, so probably later in 2026, but yeah, we haven’t announced any delays.”

The Care Center of Oklahoma sent a message to Oklahomans about child abuse prevention on Wednesday.

“One of the biggest safeguards that we see against abuse is when caregivers and parents really work to have open communication with their children. It can provide them opportunities to talk about hard things,” said Shelby Lynch, Director of Prevention and Outreach at the Care Center. 

The Care Center advised that it is never too early to start having conversations with children. 

“One important thing to do is make sure that they understand that their privates are private. Their private areas are anything that’s covered by a swimsuit,” Lynch instructed. 

Teaching children the anatomically correct names for their private parts eliminates confusion, the Care Center added. 

“It’s also important that kids understand that they do have a right to say ‘no’ to any type of touch that they don’t want,” whether that be from a family member, friend or stranger, Lynch shared. 

Another important lesson to teach your children is the difference between a secret and a surprise, the Care Center said. 

“Surprises are good things that make other people feel happy inside and something that’s kept to ourselves for a very short amount of time,” Lynch began. “Secrets are things that can make you feel sad or scared, or that you’re not safe.” 

For those who know the pain of abuse, the Care Center feels hopeful, it said. 

“Just because they have experienced abuse does not mean that they’re doomed for life. As long as they have caring adults in their lives that are going to advocate for them, they’re going to be ok. There is a lot of hope and a lot of healing that comes from something really terrible,” Lynch stated. 

All Oklahomans are mandated reporters of suspected child abuse. If you suspect a child is being abused or neglected, contact the Department of Human Services. If a child is in immediate danger, call 911.
