Eloy City Council Unanimously Votes To Support Decades Music Theme Park Proposal; Encourages State Legislature To Match Enthusiasm

ELOY, AZ. NOVEMBER 15, 2007 - A week after the debut and public enthusiasm for Decades Music Theme Park, the Eloy City Council gave the project a standing ovation via unanimous approval of a resolution Tuesday night in support of the plan.

They also encouraged the Arizona State Legislature, which is being asked early next year to pass legislation critical to the project's viability, to support the project too.

Eloy City Councilman Jessie Rosel summarized the excitement before the vote.

"I would just like to say one thing - let's ROCK & ROLL." DECADES - planned to open in Eloy, directly between the Phoenix and Tucson metropolitan areas - will be a living monument to rock music and its artists, as well as a dream-come-true for thrillseekers of all ages. The DECADES team is seeking a change to existing Arizona theme park legislation to allow for a project to be built in Pinal County. This effort will begin in earnest in January.

Plans for the 300-acre park were unveiled last week, and sparked a flurry of supportive calls to City Manager Joe Blanton and Eloy elected officials.

The park will feature interconnected Lands and Districts that represent each decade of Rock music - the 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s in the first phase - with interactive thrill rides, live music and other attractions where audience members can step back in time to the sights and sounds of each era.

DECADES is led by a blue-ribbon team of theme-park imagineers and experts that includes Peter Alexander, one of the creative minds behind Disney's Epcot Center, Disney Tokyo and some of the most breathtaking attractions at Universal Studios Florida.

At this moment, there is already a similar Rock and Roll-themed park under construction in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, and it is set to open in May 2008.

Just as Disney has an East Coast and West Coast presence, Arizona has a chance to be not only the western home for a rock music theme park, but one of the premier theme parks in the country, Alexander added.
