Thank you for your feedback!
We want to thank the community for its feedback on our proposed phased expansion. Our goal is to make Land of Illusion a year-round destination for family fun, and we continue to welcome your comments and suggestions.
Based your feedback, we have made several changes to our proposed expansion, including:
Greenspace – We have created a significant greenspace buffer between our park and our residential neighbors.
Eliminated Amusement Park – We have eliminated plans for an amusement park and roller coasters, and instead are focusing on expanding our outdoor water park and building a new water park and family fun center indoors.
Reduced Maximum Height – We have reduced the maximum height of structures to 100 feet.
PROPOSED PHASED EXPANSION:
Positive Impacts
INVESTMENT
Current plans are for a $190 million investment over an estimated ten-year phased expansion. About half of this investment is estimated to be for materials and equipment, and about half for payroll.
JOBS
On average over a ten-year period, the expansion construction will support approximately 180 jobs per year, and the expansion is estimated the create over 500 operating jobs.
INCREASED VISITORS TO LOCAL AREA
On average over the next 10 years of the phased expansion, LOI will attract approximately 600,000 guests per year, with about 100,000 of those staying overnight in our area.
INCREASED SPENDING AT OTHER LOCAL BUSINESSES
Many of the families visiting Land of Illusion will shop, eat and stay overnight at businesses in our community outside of Land of Illusion, and this is estimated to result in an annual average of nearly $5 Million in additional spending. The additional guests and spending will be lower in the earlier years of the expansion and higher in the later years.
