Here's the latest folks, hot off the press!
We live in Joplin, Missouri, at the crossroads of America-- Old Rt 66 and HWY 71. Joplin's Rt 66 Speedway (dirt race track for superstock racing) is where Disney animators met the fellow they patterned Mater's character after in Cars.
Any way-- secretive land buyers just met with the Newton County Missouri commissioners, in an attempt to make a deal for a TON of land just south of Joplin, in a little community called Reddings Mill-- its right ON Old 66--The article said the "unnamed" company wanting to build a park is planning for 1200 full time jobs, 6,000 seasonal jobs, numerous hotels, and parking for 9,000 cars. That's a whole lot bigger than anything we have dowm in Branson.
Here's a part of the article-- 'Robert Brown, listed as one of three principals with ARM Risk, according to papers filed March 16 with the Missouri secretary of state, said when contacted by phone Wednesday: “Our main job is land acquisition. ARM was put together for this land-acquisition deal, and it has no other purpose.”'
"Brown said the proposed park initially would have 95 shops, 27 rides, 12 stages, and 18 restaurants and eateries. The proposal would include 1,000 acres of land, with the first phase to be completed in two years on 100 acres of that land. The proximity of two U.S. highways is a factor in the site selection, Brown said."
The addresses the man gave commissioners (to send correspondence to ) both checked out to be Disney addresses.
I think the 'Crossroads of America" is just the perfect place for another Disney Park-- especially with a new CARS attraction!
