London, Jan 11 (ANI): Late King of Pop Michael Jackson is set to be honoured with a Disney World-style theme park based on his Neverland Ranch.
The park will be created in his native Gary in Indiana, and developers are planning to cash in on Jackson’s legacy by including a golf course, museum, 300-room hotel and a performing arts centre.
A Thriller roller coaster is also in the pipeline.
“We will begin construction of the facilities this year,” the Mirror quoted theme park operations agent Odie Anderson as saying.
“We have set aside a specific date, tied to a special Jackson event, for the ground breaking,” Anderson added.
The singer’s 2,600-acre Neverland Ranch in California also had two railways and a zoo. (ANI)
