"American Heartland" Park and Resort in Oklahoma, aiming for 2026 open

Hate to double post so soon but the park has shared an update;

We’ve been a little quiet, and we know everyone looks forward to updates. Those of you who have been involved with or have knowledge about large projects will understand that progress is happening, even if we can’t see it on the site. So, here are the facts of what’s currently happening.

The scope of the American heartland project has grown. Because of this, the cost to support the project is also growing. Mansion Entertainment Group is continuing to engage with local and state leaders to make sure funding is available to make this project a success. Oklahoma has never seen a project of this size and we want to make sure we work together to do it right. The theme park, RV resort and hotel capacities have all increased. While this is good news, as a result, project development costs are trending beyond the originally projected $2B. In the coming months, Mansion Entertainment Group will estimate and reissue a warranted investment figure that aligns with updated financial projections and increased attendance and costs.

Ah yes, the headline we were all waiting to hear;

Off the rails? Company claims Vinita theme park developer owes $5.5 million for unpaid work

This was filed by FORREC of all companies, a very very known theme park designer. The project is also “working on a new timetable”, which makes sense given that a 2026 debut for all this seems a tad hooey.

Off the rails? Company claims Vinita theme park developer owes $5.5 million for unpaid work

A company contracted to design and plan the American Heartland Theme Park in Vinita filed a $5.5 million lien against Mansion Entertainment.

We are through the looking glass and have entered the realm of desperation.

Have we not heard this story before?

Plans were to open the venue in the fall of 2026. However, construction work at the site, right off historic Route 66 and Interstate 44 near Vinita, has been at a standstill for months after problems arose with Mansion Entertainment’s nonpayment of bills.

According to Craig County land records, Crossland Construction and FORREC filed a $352,429.31 and $5.5 million lien against Mansion Entertainment Group and OGB Holdings in May for non-payment.

That park that isn’t going to happen has announced a minimum three year delay from the projected 2026 debut (wheeze) as they wait to get a new site plan approved, following modifications to accommodate the flood zone;
