tinflowers Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 http://www.countrycrossingalabama.com/ About Country Crossing THE HEART OF COUNTRY Country Crossing is a one-of-a-kind master-planned entertainment destination resort located in Dothan, Alabama. It has been designed to create lasting family memories and to bring the spirit of music to the community and its visitors. The official groundbreaking was held on October 27, 2008 and construction is under way. Several venues are scheduled to open in 2009. Country Crossing will have a countrified retail and dining entertainment district home to unique dinner-music theaters, old time western saloons, restaurants, live music, a recording studio, and themed retail shops. Country Crossing will also offer a host of hospitality options including the George Jones Possum Holler Bed & Breakfast. Country Crossing will showcase year-round entertainment with multi-platinum selling artists performing weekly at its various venues.

Whats the chance that this place gets itself a roller coaster? To see it turning into a lower Dollywood would be great! : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holtskee Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 This sounds like the Carolina Crossroads entertainment center that failed in North Carolina. They were suppose to set up the Zippin' Pippin' there from Libertyland, but they ended up sending it back to Memphis. I hope this takes off better than that did.

Team Thriller Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 They could call the coaster "Rapid Hillbilly" --James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
