Let’s Get Weird: The (Not So) Little Theme Park that Couldn’t
In the early ’60s, Huntsville, Alabama’s participation in the space race inspired something you may not have expected … An 800-acre theme park, with an ambitious goal to rival one of the nation’s largest family-friendly attractions, Disneyland!
In this installment of “Let’s Get Weird with Katy and Marsha”, the hosts meet with North Alabama history buff SueAnne Griffith to pore over what could have been “Space City U.S.A.” They discuss the various planned lands, the local hubbub around the abandoned multimillion dollar project, and more!
