Description
Imagine if you had a chance to sit down and talk with Walt Disney when he started to brainstorm about an idea called "Mickey Mouse Park."
What if you could go back to 1959 and have lunch with Angus Wynne Jr. to hear his ideas about a park that would eventually become "Six Flags Over Texas."
Building a theme park from scratch is no easy accomplishment. It takes hard work, a solid business plan and most importantly... a vision.
On this week's show, we welcome a man with a unique vision of his own.
He wants to see a theme park built in his home town of Nashville, Tennessee.
This week, David Webb joins us to talk about his plans for "Ole South USA".
It would be a theme park celebrating everything that is vibrant and special about the southern region of the United States.
David gives us a "virtual tour" of the different themed lands, including descriptions of some of their innovative rides and attractions. He also talks about the steps being taken to make this dream a reality.
Most importantly, he fills us in on the Pioneer Club, which gives 3,500 people a chance to take part in the birth of this theme park.
We also have an update on the Valentine's Day Charity Song Auction and we announce the first CoasterRadio.com Listener Meet-up of 2012.
