27 May
Summary
- Comedian Nate Bargatze plans a $350 million theme park.
- Nateland park will be 100 acres in Nashville, Tennessee.
- Design includes sections based on his life and Tennessee.
Comedian Nate Bargatze is embarking on ambitious new ventures, including his first feature film, "The Breadwinner," set to release this Friday. Beyond the silver screen, Bargatze is channeling his creative energy into "Nateland," a proposed $350 million theme park.
The "clean" comedy star envisions Nateland as a family-friendly destination in Nashville, Tennessee, a stark contrast to the city's typical adult-oriented attractions. This venture is inspired by his first job at the now-closed Opryland USA theme park.
Spanning 100 acres, Nateland's evolving design will feature distinct sections, drawing inspiration from Bargatze's personal life and the state of Tennessee. Despite some public skepticism and confusion about the concept, Bargatze's significant popularity suggests strong potential for ticket sales, rivaling major entertainment tours.
Development is actively progressing, with Bargatze and his partners collaborating with Storyland Studios, a firm comprised of former Disney, Universal Studios, and Legoland creative minds. The specific site in Nashville's metro area has been chosen, though it remains undisclosed. The team is currently focused on securing the necessary funds for the project this summer.
