Enter your email address below and we'll keep you informed about our progress.
DECADES – planned to open 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 thrill seekers of all ages. The park itself will feature interconnected Lands and Districts that represent each decade of rock music – the 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s in its 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.
