Comedian Nate Bargatze discussed the inspiration behind his idea for a\u00a0family-fun theme park in Nashville and his upcoming new movie.<\/p>\n

The actor and stand-up comic, who is known for his clean comedy routines, has spoken about how growing up in a Christian household has shaped his view, and in an appearance on \u201cFox & Friends\u201d on Tuesday, Bargatze spoke about that influence on the theme park and also on his first feature film, \u201cThe Breadwinner,\u201d which is out on May 29.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf I was going to just focus on arenas or that kind of thing, it felt like it was going be too much me,\u201d Bargatze said, recounting how he began to think about the $350 million amusement park idea.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wanted to focus on a place that I could have for people to bring their families to, and destinations to create memories with your families. I don\u2019t think there\u2019s a ton of that,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The nation\u2019s top-selling comedian has partnered with California-based Storyland Studios to bring \u201cNateland\u201d to his hometown of Nashville. The theme park will reportedly cost about $350 million and will span more than 100 acres, and will include retail shops, restaurants, and even a hotel.<\/p>\n

According to The Wall Street Journal:<\/p>\n

\n

The still-evolving design for Nateland is divided into three sections based on the comedian\u2019s roots in Tennessee, his career journey to New York and his expanding reach in the world beyond.<\/p>\n

Visitors would enter through a 1990s-style mall. The area based on Bargatze\u2019s local lore would include coasters and a \u201cDonkey Dive\u201d ride inspired by one of his jokes. The New York section would have street performers, live shows and a ride through a simulated Times Square with a New Year\u2019s Eve ball drop. The third section would have stunt performances and interactive shows.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

As for his upcoming movie, Bargatze plays Nate Wilcox, who becomes a stay-at-home dad for his three young daughters after his wife becomes the breadwinner in the family. The Emmy-nominated, Grammy-winning actor wanted the movie to be family-friendly and is making sure it is affordable.<\/p>\n
