New $2 billion Oklahoma theme park announced, and it's not part of the Magic Kingdom

A theme park with an estimated $2 billion price tag is coming to the Midwest — and its location may surprise you.

The 1,000-acre development, named the American Heartland Theme Park and Resort, is scheduled to open in 2026 in the northeastern Oklahoma city of Vinita, according to a news release Thursday from the Missouri-based Mansion Entertainment Group, which is heading up the project. 

The amusement park itself will cover 125 acres, which according to developers is comparable in size to Florida's Magic Kingdom and Disneyland in California.
