DOTHAN, Ala. (WDNews) – Adventureland Theme Park will be hosting a “Play with the Dragons” event tonight at 6 p.m. where attendees can meet and greet with the players of the Dothan United Soccer Team.
Adventureland Theme Park has been in business in the Wiregrass for the past 32 years but recently came under new ownership in January.
“We are excited to take over a business that had already meant so much to Dothan and had been in the community for so long and we are looking to continue its involvement in the community,” said new owner, Payne Henderson.
Henderson expresses that Adventureland Theme Park hopes to continue to nurture their connection to the Wiregrass area.
Adventureland Theme Park hosted the Dothan Dragons earlier this year for a team-building exercise and is excited to welcome them back tonight along with the public.
“They’re a great community organization just like we are trying to continue to be and I think that’s a good partnership for us,” said Henderson.
The Dothan United Soccer Team is Dothan’s first semi-professional soccer team.
They began playing in the USL League Two in May of this year.
Their first home game at Rip Hewes Stadium on May 25 brought in over 5,000 attendees and ended with a 4-1 victory over Tennessee SC.
Dothan United’s next home game will be this Saturday, June 29 at 7 p.m. at Rip Hewes Stadium against Birmingham Legion.
Adventureland Theme Park and the Dothan United Dragons encourage Wiregrass residents to come meet the players and explore all that Adventureland Theme Park has to offer tonight, as well as cheer on the Dragons Saturday night.
