106405 - Disney's America Theme Park Logo

Pin Description:

An oval pin featuring the logo for the canceled "Disney's America" theme park that would've explored the history of America via an immersive theme park complete with E-ticket rides and re-enactments. The park was cancelled in its early concept stages due to obvious concerns about trivializing the darker parts of American history, and due to the choice of location in Virginia, which caused concern for citizens about pollution and (ironically) destruction of historic locations.

This pin is presumably from 1993 or 1994 when the initial project and negotiations were announced, as the further Disney got into planning, the more embroiled in controversy the park became and the more Disney pulled back on the idea.
