Development Perspective 98-percent of Stone Mountain Park will remain untouched. Family attractions will be developed on less than 2-percent of the 3200 acres. Development is necessary to respond to diverse user groups. New attractions and family entertainment is necessary because guests see the current ones as tired and out-dated . No attraction has been added in more than 30 years.
Surveys show the current attraction user s number one disappointment is the attractions themselves.
Limited development will be phased in over the next 10 years and will involve less than 2-percent of the total Park area or approximately 60 acres. This is a fraction of the of the almost 300 acres allocated for development by the Master Plan. Stone Mountain will never be turned into an amusement park. It will provide themed entertainment areas that showcase Southern heritage. Not only will the attractions be relevant to this theme, but the shops, the food, the architecture of the buildings, the costumes of the staff, and every other detail will bring to life compelling, emotional experiences based upon the heritage, fun, adventure, entertainment and inspiration of the South.
