Disney's America

I found this article to be really interesting. I had heard of the park concept before but I had no idea of the backstory behind it all. Hearing the other side to the story, with it being so close to Civil War battlegrounds does seem odd and probably a good thing that it never worked out. I've gotta admit, I love that concept art though. Makes me wonder if this concept (while drastically adjusted and re-worked) could work as a 5th theme park at WDW.

In this day and age of over sensitivity probably not.

How sad and true that is.
