Johnsonverse World History/Locations

== Amusement Parks ==
=== Kings Island ===
=== Cedar Point ===
=== Gilroy Gardens ===
Gilroy Gardens (opened in 2001 as Bonfante Gardens) does not exist. Johnson World was built on the same plot of land, but occupies a much larger area.
=== Thunderbolt (1925) ===
The original 1925 Thunderbolt wasn't demolished in 2000, and was instead declared a landmark; it reopened in 2003. The 2014 Thunderbolt has a different name as a result.
==California City, California==
California City received a resurgence in the 1980s, thanks to Johnson encouraging other companies to purchase and develop land. It has become one of the largest cities in the United States.
==Fuji Speedway==
The actual Fuji Speedway was originally meant to be a high-banked four-mile track, but funding dried up and it was completed as a road course. In the Johnsonverse, it was completed as a superspeedway as planned. It attracted USAC, who ran a non-points race at the track in 1966, and then a points race from 1984 to 2006, but NASCAR never raced there. Fuji in the Johnsonverse was converted into its OTL road course configuration in 2006 after numerous fatal crashes (at which point it was removed from the USAC schedule due to Johnson's desire to have a restrictor-plate track in the Japanese States), spurring construction of Tokyo Superspeedway.
==Inisfada and Whitemarsh Hall==
Both houses were acquired and saved by the Johnsons before they could be demolished, and still stand today.
== International Speedway Corporation tracks ==
* Rather than removing scoring pylons altogether throughout 2024, ISC replaced them with new LED pylons.
=== Ascot Park ===
Ascot Park still hosts dirt racing events.
===Auto Club Speedway===
* The 2006 California Speedway logo was introduced in 2001 instead.
* It was taken off the NASCAR schedule in 2015, due to it being seen as the weakest of the California-based tracks. It is still on the USAC schedule.
=== Chicago Motor Speedway ===
Chicago Motor Speedway alternates on the NASCAR schedule with Chicagoland Speedway on even-numbered years, with Chicagoland hosting NASCAR events on odd-numbered years. The track that doesn't host NASCAR that year instead hosts USAC and ARCA.
=== Kentucky Speedway ===
Kentucky Speedway was removed from the NASCAR schedule in 2014, followed by USAC in 2017, due to being seen as the worst track in both circuits by Johnson. ISC purchased it (along with Texas Motor Speedway) in 2020, with the intention of completely reconstructing both circuits for a comeback in 2024.
=== North Wilkesboro Speedway ===
It was not taken off the Cup Series schedule, though it only had a fall fate from 1997 to 2010. Since 2011, it has once again had a spring date. The speedway was renovated and repaved in 2001 and 2017 (using the same mixture as the 1981 pavement).
===Ontario Motor Speedway===
Ontario was purchased by Johnson in 1980 to keep it away from the Chevron Land Company. The track was taken off the NASCAR Winston Cup Series schedule, but retained both of its races on the USAC Gold Crown Series schedule, with the California 500 eventually returning to its old date on Labor Day weekend. The track eventually returned to the Winston Cup schedule in 1988, the first year under Johnson ownership. As of 2023, the track still hosts NASCAR, ARCA, USAC, IMSA, NHRA, and AMA Superbikes, plus multiple regional and local late model and sprint car series.
===Phoenix International Raceway===
While its renovations still occurred in 2017-18, the track was not reconfigured. The ISM title sponsorship was also never signed, and the track still has "International" in the name.
=== Riverside International Raceway ===
Riverside is still on the NASCAR schedule to this day, hosting the Budweiser 400 in June as part of the West Coast swing.
=== Rockingham Speedway ===
=== Texas World Speedway ===
Texas World Speedway was purchased by Johnson in the 1980s, with its amenities upgraded to accommodate NASCAR attendance. Big Hoss was also built there instead of Texas Motor Speedway (which doesn't exist ITTL due to Texas World already existing), as were Lone Star Tower, The Speedway Club, and a dirt track.
==Television City==
Johnson purchased Television City from CBS in 2019. As a result, series like The Price Is Right still tape there.
==Texas Motor Speedway==
Due to Texas World Speedway being used by NASCAR and USAC, Texas Motor Speedway didn't exist, with Bruton Smith choosing to build a track elsewhere. Consequently, Atlanta Motor Speedway retains its original configuration.
== Trump Tower ==
Johnson Industries beat out Donald Trump's offer to buy Bonwit Teller's flagship store in 1977, with the deal closed in 1979. As a result, it's still used as an administrative building with all of its Art Deco details and sculptures intact, while Trump Tower is instead located at the intersection of West and Oak Streets in Brooklyn.
==World Trade Center post-9/11==
ITTL, Sheldon Johnson, Jr., not Larry Silverstein, was put in charge of operating the World Trade Center in Manhattan, New York. As a result, there are many differences; chiefly, it used the plans from the "Twin Towers 2" from OTL, as Sheldon thought that "the Twin Towers rising like a phoenix from the ashes is much more suitable for the site than some out-of-place skyscraper with tacked-on attempts at symbolism" and added that "when we watch Tony Soprano drive out of the Lincoln Tunnel, both he and the viewer can see the towers through the sideview mirror. To me, they looked strong and proud, and that represents us Americans, no matter what race, gender, nationality, sexuality, or creed we are". For more, see this page.
