"Fortunately for us, there's a new theme park on the horizon that intends to scratch that existential itch: RetroEscapes, the "world's first nostalgia theme park." Described as a time-traveler's paradise, it promises to whisk guests away to prior decades with lands inspired by the '50s, '60s, '70s, '80s, and '90s, as well as a "Tomorrow Zone" for a glimpse into the future."
"According to Daniel Leo Jr., the influencer and self-proclaimed "CEO of Las Vegas" who announced the project in a recent social media post, the park has been seven years in the making. And to be clear, it's still very much in the early stages of development, says Leo Jr. They're currently in talks with land partners, the city and county, and other strategic partners, meaning construction hasn't even started yet."
"You may not be familiar with Daniel Leo Jr. by name, and to be transparent, I wasn't either. You know what I am familiar with, though? Disney World's Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind and SeaWorld's Manta rollercoaster - two of the absolute best theme park rides in existence, if you ask me. And that matters because the same creative team that designed those, PGAV Destinations, is reportedly partnering with Daniel Leo Jr. and his father, Daniel Leo Sr., to bring RetroEscapes to life."
RetroEscapes is planned as the "world's first nostalgia theme park" in Las Vegas, featuring lands themed to the 1950s through the 1990s and a Tomorrow Zone showcasing the future. The concept has been in development for seven years and remains in early stages, with discussions underway with land partners, city and county officials, and strategic collaborators; construction has not begun. The project reports a design partnership with PGAV Destinations, the creative team behind major attractions like Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind and SeaWorld's Manta, lending experienced ride and attraction design to the concept. Details and timelines are expected to evolve during development.
