Kingdoms 3, originally known as Lion Country Safari, was an amusement park previously located in Stockbridge, Georgia, USA. The park originally consisted of a drive-thru safari but was later expanded with several other rides.
History
Lion Country Safari opened on July 11, 1972. The park was located on 550 acres and had approximately 1,000 animals in a drive-thru safari setting.[1] The park was purchased by USA firm Africa Arts International for $3 million in 1975, who renamed the park to Kingdoms 3 in 1976 and spent an additional $2 million on improvements. They split the park into three themed sections: Wild Kingdom (250 acres, including the original safari), Fun Kingdom (40 acres, with eight new rides), and Nature Kingdom, intended for 1977.[2]
