Jazzland theme park to return to NOLA?

will never materialize

Will be ready just in time for the next major hurricane to wash it away.

Bring back Pontchartrain Park and you'll have my attention.

I just can't see this being an economically feasible option.

New Orleans east can't support that. There are still thousands of abandon houses there and they want to put an amusement park?

Here is a suggestion. Take whoever is responsible for stealing the federal money that was set aside to clean up the east and hang them from the top of the roller coaster .

We loved going to Jazzland/Six Flags. It had it's negative aspects - hot, not a great locatiion, low attendance lending itself to less than stellar service...

But an amusement park is a great thing for a community. It's fun. It gives kids something to do during the summer. It provides jobs for young adults. It gives the area another family friendly venue for tourists.

I hope it comes back. I'd prefer if it was located somewhere closer to the central part of the city, but it doesn't make sense to waste the physical plant and infrastructure that was built out in the "far east".

Jazzland was awesome. Good rides and short lines. We used to have season passes, and every Wednesday after work we'd take the three kids there. A nice water park there might even be a bigger draw than the rides. A lot of people from my area make the drive to Blue Bayou, and the East would be a closer option.

frick that. The only good idea they had for that land was to build a power plant out there.

I grew up back there in eastover, use to love going to jazzland. Me and my brother would go pretty much every weekend. I would go every now and then if they brought it back.
