DAYTON, Ohio (AP) -- A group in Dayton says it wants to bring a $300 million air and space theme park to the area.
It's part of a broader, long-term plan to boost tourism by pulling together the region's aviation heritage attractions such as the Wright Brothers historical sites and the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force.
The nonprofit Aviation Heritage Foundation says the theme park it's proposing could draw up to 7 million people a year.
That's about the same number that goes to Branson, Missouri, and more than twice last year's attendance at Paramount's Kings Island.
