Comedian Nate Bargatze is developing a new family-friendly theme park called Nateland in Nashville, Tennessee. The project involves securing 80 to 100 acres of land and hiring Storyland Studios, a firm with Disney and Universal experience, to create initial designs. Groundbreaking is expected in 2025, with plans to expand the concept to other states through smaller mini-parks. The park will feature original attractions inspired by Bargatze’s comedy style rather than existing media properties. The project has received support from state and local officials, with tax incentives identified to help the venture. Bargatze aims to become a figure similar to Walt Disney, serving as both the creator and mascot of the park. The initial design includes three sections representing his roots in Tennessee, his journey to New York, and his global reach.
