A viral screenshot has many questioning the legitimacy of a vanished mystery Disney Park in the state of Oklahoma. But what is the truth behind this picture?

There have been many rumors that have made their way across the Disney fandom over the years. Most famously, there was the rumor of Cinderella Castle being removed, Disney’s Animal Kingdom theme park being permanently shut down, and a whole host of other strange rumors.

Now, rumors of a third Disney resort in the state of Oklahoma has been making the rounds.

What is Disneyland (Oklahoma)?

A viral screenshot of a supposed Wikipedia page of Disneyland Oklahoma has been making the rounds online. The page reads that “Disneyland was an amusement park founded by Zachariah Richard in 1987” in Oklahoma state, presumably with family attractions and rides. The theme park got its name after Richard found out that Disney had misspelled the name Disneyland as “Diisneyland” in the patent application.

The Wikipedia screenshot also claims that the Disney Park was destroyed in 2022 after the International Space Station fell on it in 2022. However, the reality is that the International Space Station is still very much in orbit and in space and NASA is unlikely to bring it down to Earth anytime soon.

If it wasn’t evident already, the screenshot and the story are unreservedly false. There has never been any such Disney Park or family entertainment destination in the state of Oklahoma.

More importantly, our research has not confirmed the existence of an individual named Zachariah Richard, who was interested in replicating the Disneyland experience. There is no paper trail of developers who have worked on any such park or Walt Disney Imagineers who have addressed it.

In addition, as Inside the Magic pointed out, patents only protect “Technical inventions, such as chemical compositions like pharmaceutical drugs, mechanical processes like complex machinery, or machine designs that are new, unique, and usable in some type of industry.”

They do not have anything to do with the names of theme parks. Those tend to be trademark protected.

For all of these reasons, fans can rest assured that no such theme park has ever existed and that the viral screenshot is undoubtedly a hoax.
