Storylands Studio, a design and production studio in the US and Europe, has been appointed to design the interactive and story-focused theme park in Tennessee known as Storyville Gardens.
The theme park will be aimed at reigniting the love of reading. The rides, attractions and shows at the park will be centred on stories from Africa, Europe, Asia and America.
Storyville Gardens will combine cutting-edge technology with traditional show-based entertainment to bring interactive and inspiring ‘edutainment’ experience to all ages.
Ben Thompson, chief strategy officer and head of global clients at Storyland Studios, shared his excitement of the impending project: “We want to create an unforgettable experience that ignites an insatiable love of reading and story in the next generation of children,” said Thompson.
“We’re incredibly excited to begin the next phase of creation with the Storyville Gardens team.”
The concept for the theme park was imagined by Elde and DeLisa Guerrier, owners of the real estate and development company Guerrier Development in Nashville. The Guerriers’ vision is to create a story-focused theme park that offers around 220,000 square feet of entertainment, retail, dining and hotels.
An official site for the theme park is expected to be announced at the end of 2021. Construction is due to begin in mid-2022.
