The world is speckled with lands of awe and wonder that capture the imagination of children and the young-at-heart. Disney World, Six Flags Over Georgia, Universal Studios, and Opryland deliver excitement and thrills that stretch beyond known realities and transport guests to foreign worlds. Before these wondrous lands opened to the public, though, there was promise of an amusement park that aimed to send guests through time and space. Originally named “Time World,” Space City USA was slated to open in 1964, one year before Walt Disney ushered in its first guests. Construction on the multifaceted amusement park began in 1961 with plans showcasing an expansive layout that would transport visitors back in time and to the depths of space. But it was a dream that never came true. Nearly half of the park was completed when construction halted in 1967, leaving behind a relic lost to time in the Northern Alabama city of Huntsville.
