Legitimacy of "Festival Tennessee" developer called into question
Posted
Resort hotels, a conference center, restaurants, a water park, a charter school and a sports complex are just a few of the promises made by a developer who says he is bringing a $750 million theme park to northeast Maury County. But one Spring Hill alderman is worried that the developer may be just taking the county for a ride after questions surfaced about a bankruptcy, business licenses and other matters.

With the track record for theme/amusement park projects over the last 10 years, I always roll my eyes whenever I see one of these headlines.
What was the last new successful park project in the states? Island's of Adventure? I'm not sure DCA would count because if it had not been built next to Disneyland, I'm sure it would have closed. Then again, it's still open, so I suppose that would be the most recent.
True true. Then again, the place has been an amusement destination for a long time before it was built. Almost more of a redevelopment.
As much as I would love to see a new park in Tennessee this guy is full of grand plans and promises but he does not have the $$ to pull it off. You should have seen the press conference with him and the mayor. If if does not have the money to replace his missing 2 front teeth how is he gonna do this?
To use a southern expression...this is complete hogwash!
