Comedian Planning $350M Nashville Theme Park

Stand-up comic Nate Bargatze is building a theme park. The park, to be called Nateland, will span more than 100 acres and include roller coasters, live shows and more with an estimated price tag of $350 million. The park’s three sections will be based on the famed comedian’s life. While renderings of the proposed park have been released, an exact location has not. He says he wants the park within an hour’s drive of Nashville, his hometown.

Bargatze has brought in design firm Storyland Studios. The team also has identified local and state tax incentives.

Fox News tracked him down for a comment on the proposed park,”If I was going to just focus on arenas or that kind of thing, it felt like it was going be too much me… I wanted to focus on a place that I could have for people to bring their families to, and destinations to create memories with your families. I don’t think there’s a ton of that,” he said.
