Hope it works out. Back in the 70's we had an amusement park by the name of Legend City. It was located in the area of Priest and Washington in Phoenix. They ended up closing in 1983. One reason I heard is it was too hot outside.

[@Superherofan1621]

I hope it flops for Thomas's sake

[@Superherofan1621]

I hope it doesn't after what Mattel did to thomas

[@jackwinemiller8358]

I grew up going to legend city all the time, and then concerts at the amphitheater next door when it opened

[@nancyk6726]

I remember Legend City.

[@whenisdinner2137]

In order to make it bearable they need a lot of shade. I should be the number one priority

[@Makeupbymayra602]

Can't wait to go! Next year! Very excited 😁😁😍😍

[@Superherofan1621]

Not me I am still mad at mattel for what they did to thomas

[@DTM45]

Smart business and good for families.

[@Superherofan1621]

But not good for thomas and Rev W Awdry's legacy

[@NickyD]

not in that heat

[@orbitalwig8333]

why is everyone in these comments so negative like lighten tf up its an amusement park

[@Superherofan1621]

I am 100 negative to Mattel after they ruined thomas with that dumb reboot

[@NickyD]

its AZ you cant be outside in the summer this isnt a state that you should build a theme park in

[@leonpennings7596]

European MoTU fans can't wait to visit this!!!

[@ronniesuperx]

I guess we DON'T have a water Shortage in the South West anymore... Keep Building.

[@rachelscholes7041]

Ummm, not to have a negative outlook but that's what I was thinking.

[@ATalkingBadger]

Find a hobby.

[@ronniesuperx]

@@ATalkingBadger Aren't you worried about the "Environment" ???

[@baguette4607]

Don’t…water parks…REUSE water? Like, almost all water goes into treatment plants to be cleaned.

[@Superherofan1621]

I am ranting anything mattel related after what they did to thomas

[@jessicagreen8883]

It’s way too hot in Arizona for this. Won’t be able to go in summer when kids are out of school.

[@michael85225]

School is out for the winter too plus there are the weekends where families can go during the cooler months as well. There is also indoor activities too with air conditioning.

[@chiken729]

All ride entrances will be indoor

[@baguette4607]

The ride entrances are probably like how they are in Vegas, aka indoor. Not to mention most kids have a 2 week break around new year.

[@AkioWasRight]

It's still AZ. You're going to visit the theme park... And then what, stay stuck in your hotel room because it's 1,000 degrees outside?

[@Superherofan1621]

Hope it flops for Thomas's sake because mattel screwed him with that dumb reboot

[@marioescalante9889]

When is it opening

[@ljandthomas]

I can’t wait to see Thomas in the theme park

[@Superherofan1621]

Me HELL NO THEY USE THE ALL ENGINES GO DESIGN AND IT LOOKS UGLY

[@ljandthomas]

@@Superherofan1621 I think it looks nice Besides I make a lot of Thomas videos and nobody gives any likes

[@ZClauclau]

Who cares about all the water it's going to be waisted with the AZ sun.

[@georgiadriven]

Arizona isn’t running out of water no time soon

[@Superherofan1621]

And mattel will run out of time for the wrath of everyone og thomas fan and every railfan in the whole planet after what they did to thomas

[@casaboxeo6406]

Sucks its only opening with 2 roller coasters i hope they have plan to added more cuz 2 roller coasters i can see the line been over 60 mins long for the 2 rides.

[@baguette4607]

They probably will, and hell if it’s bought by six flags that means any rides being removed and transported we’ll probably get. But even if it’s not, considering it’s one of the only places in Arizona with roller coasters it will get a lot of customers meaning a lot of money and demand for more rides.

[@Superherofan1621]

I hope it flops still mad at mattel for that ugly reboot

[@casaboxeo6406]

I hate to say it but i dont see this flopping since this will be AZ first Theme park too many ppl asking for this for yrs.@@Superherofan1621

[@GageTucker-of2wd]

[@MmmmMmmm-dl4hb]
