YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

In 1973, plans were in place to build the theme park called Amazing World of Superman in Metropolis, Illinois. Despite a lot of excitement around the building of the park, it never happened. The reason? A war in the middle east and gasoline prices.

Dive into the story of the Amazing World of Superman and discover Metropolis, IL, its ups and downs, and how this small American town became the official hometown of Superman.
