Selecting the ideal location for Music World was a meticulous process that prioritized several critical factors. From ensuring accessibility and community support to finding sufficient space and a reliable workforce, the decision was driven by a vision to create an extraordinary destination that serves Heroes and Guests alike. After extensive research, the Southwest United States, particularly California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Nevada, emerged as the most promising region to bring Music World to life.
Criteria for Selection
The location was chosen based on the following essential criteria:
- Size: A minimum of 300 acres of flat land to accommodate the immersive environments, interactive attractions, and supportive infrastructure.
- Accessibility: Easy access via major transportation routes, including highways, airports, and public transit, ensuring seamless travel for Heroes and Guests.
- Workforce: A sufficient population to hire approximately 20,000 Captains (employees) needed to operate Music World.
- Utilities: Availability of essential utilities, including water, electricity, and waste management, to support the park’s infrastructure.
- Zoning: Favorable zoning regulations to facilitate the development of this visionary project without delays.
- Community Support: A welcoming and supportive local community to foster a positive relationship with Music World.
Exploring Initial Options
The initial search included prominent areas along the California coast, such as San Diego, Ventura County, Santa Barbara County, and San Luis Obispo County. These locations were considered for their picturesque settings and tourism appeal. However, significant challenges ultimately ruled them out:
- Limited availability of large, flat land parcels.
- Political opposition to large-scale developments.
- Agricultural zoning restrictions.
- Transportation difficulties in certain areas.
- Prolonged approval processes, particularly from the California Coastal Authorities, which often take up to 10 years.
These obstacles led to a strategic pivot toward inland regions where the vision of Music World could be realized more efficiently and effectively.
The Coachella Valley: A Desert Oasis for Music World
After careful evaluation, the Coachella Valley became the focus of our efforts. This area, comprising nine cities and a population of approximately 500,000, stood out for several reasons:
- Tourism Appeal: The Coachella Valley is already a renowned tourist destination, attracting visitors worldwide with its festivals, resorts, and stunning desert landscapes.
- Community Energy: The region exudes a welcoming and positive energy, essential for creating a supportive environment for Music World’s Heroes and Guests.
- Innovative Design Opportunities: With input from visionary architects, Music World will transform the desert environment into a shaded, cozy oasis. Through the use of modern technology and creative landscaping, Heroes and Guests will enjoy pleasant, comfortable environments even in the heart of the desert.
Why the Southwest is the Perfect Fit
By choosing the Southwest United States, Music World will take full advantage of the region’s accessibility, availability of resources, and tourism potential. The Coachella Valley, with its unique charm and support, provides an ideal foundation to bring this project to life.
Music World will be a transformative destination, bringing joy, inspiration, and innovation to the region while creating thousands of jobs and fostering a strong sense of community.

A Bright Future Ahead
We are currently working on securing several potential sites across the Southwest, focusing on locations in the Coachella Valley, other cities in Southern California, as well as in Arizona and New Mexico. Each of these areas offers unique advantages and aligns with the critical factors we’ve prioritized: space, accessibility, workforce availability, utilities, favorable zoning, and community support.
As we narrow down our options, the journey to bring Music World to life is gaining momentum. The Southwest United States will serve as the ideal launchpad for this groundbreaking destination, offering a perfect blend of scenic landscapes, vibrant communities, and logistical feasibility.
