Plans for Gold Nugget Theme Park Near Black Hills, SD Unveiled

Plans for the Gold Nugget Theme Park in Deadwood, South Dakota, about an hour north of Black Hills, were unveiled during a public meeting recently.

The park would include three themes — miners, cowboys, and pioneers, and cost between $40 and $80 million. The park would also possibly include a water park, dinner theater, lodge, log cabin camp, tepee camp, and a steam train with train robbery re-enactors, among other things.

Ground is hoped to be broken on the park by next year so it can open in 2019.
