New $2B Theme Park and Resort To Be Built Within Two Hour Drive of Northwest Arkansas

Northwest Arkansas will soon sit smack dab between two theme park towns, with Silver Dollar City to our east in Branson, MO, and the new $2B American Heartland Theme Park to our west in Vinita, OK.

• OK Disneyland: Expected to compare in size with Disneyland, the 1,000-acre theme park and resort will open in phases, starting with a large-scale RV park opening in spring 2025, offering 750 RV spaces, 300 cabins, and various amenities.

• First in our Heartland: The theme park and resort are expected to open in 2026, featuring an Americana-themed environment with rides, live shows, family attractions, waterways, and restaurants. Divided into six "distinctly American lands," the park will include a 300-room hotel and indoor water park.
