A MAJOR theme park that will transport visitors to previous decades is planned for one of the most-visited cities in the world.
Named RetroEscapes, the new theme park would be based in Las Vegas, America and claims it would be the world’s first retro theme park.
The attraction would be split into five lands, with each dedicated to a different decade – 1950s, 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s.
Then there would be an additional zone, that would allow a “glimpse into the unknown future“.
Once open, the theme park would include immersive attractions, rides, activities, dining, shopping and live entertainment – all themed around the five decades.
Social media influencer Daniel Leo Jr is behind the theme park which he has been working on with his father for the past seven years.

Announcing the news on his Instagram, Danie-Leo Jr said: “When you enter the park, you will begin your journey through the time travel portal and then from there you will be transported back to the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s.
“The park will be anchored by the Fountain of Youth, that will feature a nightly firework and laser light show spectacle, that will celebrate the icons of American pop culture, through the decades.”
Little details about the theme park have been officially confirmed, but the company has released a lot of concept art revealing what could possible appear at the attraction.
In ‘The Fabulous 50s’ land, there would be ‘The King’ diner that appears to be a tribute to rock and roll legend Elvis Presley.
There would also be a ‘Monroe Cocktail Bar’ in this land, dedicated to icon Marilyn Monroe.
In this land, it looks like there will be a car water-based ride as well.
Heading onto ‘Peace & Love 60s’, the art shows there would be a ‘Yello Submarine Coffee House, perhaps as a tribute to The Beatles who rose to fame in the early 60s.
And the ‘Rocket Bar’ would be themed around the space race.
In the 70s land, there would be a ‘Twist and Shout’ restaurant and a ‘Disco Bar’.
Then for the 80s, decade icon Pac-Man will get its own bar.
For the 90s land, there will be a skate park area and a ‘Grunge’ area.
The futuristic zone looks like it would include lots of high-tech attractions.
Daniel-Leo Jr added: “RetroEscapes is being designed as a hybrid indoor/outdoor, multi-level park with cooling measures in place to ensure a comfortable experience year-round.
“We’re currently in active talks with land partners, the city/county, and strategic partners. It’s still too early to give an exact timeline, but updates will be shared as things progress.”
He also claimed that the park is being designed by PGV Destinations, the same company behind Ferrari World, Europe Park and Universal Studios Florida.
Despite not having a timeline, people are still getting excited with many taking to social media to express their love for the planned attraction.
One person said: “Can’t wait to watch this build out happen! Find me in the 90s era! Blockbuster and Pizza Hut, scrunchies and slap bracelets all day!”
Another commented: “Every millennials dream!”
