The newly formed Taylored Amusement Company announced plans to open a new theme park resort in Greenville. The company's Founder and President Gary Taylor shared with us some details of what to expect. "The resort will feature Coastal Plains Point, a theme park that will feature rides of all types that will appeal to the whole family, a brand new baseball stadium to host a minor league stadium, and a hotel for people visiting the park." The resort will be built off of U.S. 264 Towards Washington, NC. This area is where many officals expect the next area of growth in Greenville as college communities that serve East Carolina University have been built. "This is going to be a huge boost to the economy of Eastern North Carolina, especially since Greenville is a growning city" stated Greenville Mayor Don Parrot. "There are several other businesses that have been seeking permission to build on property that is right along 264 near where the park is going to be built." Some of the companies that have filed with the city include McDonald's, Sheetz, and Days Inn. Most of these businesses have already finished construction and are due to open up soon. Some existing companies already in the area are not as excited. "I think that this is going to cause a lot of traffic problems on 264," stated Joe Austin, owner of the Roadside Diner, which has been the only business on the stretch of 264 where the resort is to be built for quite some time. "It has always been nice and quite here, and my guests have always enjoyed that, I don't know how well they will take it. Work on the baseball staduim and hotel has already begun, as well as the main parking lot for the theme park. Theme park construction will begin soon, as the first phase of the park will be an area themed with an uptown setting. This will become the main entry way to the rest of the park as it is built. No details have been released by TAC yet on what rides we can expect for the area, but Taylor stated that devolopement of the rides is in the works. "We are currently in talks with several companies about what they can offer to our park, and we do have one deal signed for what I would say is going to be the feature ride of the park." Taylor also shared with us that negotiations are under way with the owners of the Kinston Indians Baseball club about possibly moving the team to Greenville if an expansion team is not granted by Minor Leauge Baseball. It will be a while for the project to be finished, but Taylor and his company are excited about what the resort will do for the area.
