Disney's America (fictional)

Disney's America is a theme park owned by located in  in the  area. The project began in 1993 and was originally planned to be built near Haymarket, Virginia, about five miles (8.0 km) from the site of the Manassas National Battlefield Park. Though the project initially was supported by political officials and Virginia officials, it soon faced opposition from left/right-wing citizen's groups and historians who objected to Disney's portrayal of historical events and the potential impact on nearby historic sites. The project ended up being cancelled, but was revived in 1997 as a potential retheming of Knott's Berry Farm in Buena Park, California, when the Knott family offered its amusement park for sale. However, the Knott family refused to sell its park to Disney, largely due to concerns over what Disney would do to the property, and the project was then re-focused in the Greater St. Louis area (where was planned to be located). It opened on July 4, 2003 after being built from 1999-2002.
