"This Day In HIStory" July 7, 1998 ~ Michael Jackson Announces Intentions To Build 'Majestik Kingdom'
Michael and his financial partner Don Barden attend a press conference in Detroit to announce their intentions to build an entertainment complex called 'Majestik Kingdom' in Detroit.
The $1 billion plan included:
1. an 800 room hotel and casino
2. botanical gardens
3. restaurants
4. nightclubs
5. a Michael Jackson 'Thriller' Theme Park with a roller coaster with bubble-enclosed cars for winter time rides.
All this was to be built on the west riverfront in Detroit. Unfortunately, Barden and Michael were denied a casino license by Detroit City Council. Barden then organized a referendum drive to overturn the council's decision, but that failed. On August 4, 1998, Detroiters voted against the proposal.
