Theme park ideas that never happened in Pinal County
by Kevin Reagan | Casa Grande Dispatch
Pinal County has a history of drawing big ideas that don’t seem to go anywhere.
Since the 1980s, there have been a variety of proposals for building an amusement park in the Casa Grande, Eloy, Apache Junction and Florence areas. The ideas have always been grand in scale and included elements such as live animals, vintage airplanes and a football stadium.
But after the community got buzzed about the idea, it slowly fizzled out and was forgotten. One project has left behind a few artifacts that can be seen while driving along Interstate 10 in Eloy.
