re: Offers to buy former Six Flags in New Orleans East to be scrutinized?

Jazzland was bought out by Six Flags the year or so before Katrina. I had season passes to Jazzland, but had never gone to Six Flags NOLA (new name)

The friday before the hurricane, I'm at Hooter's with some co-workers and the boss gives us all passes to Six Flags. When we evacuated i used them at Astroworld because the storm we thought was just another "yearly evacuation nuisance" destroyed the city.

Wife and I (at the time fiance) bought season passes to Six Flags in 2005. Reason was we both graduated college that year and we were going to take a few trips during the summer, and we did. We went to Astroworld, Fiesta Texas, and the Six Flags in GA. Just made sense to buy a Six Flags New Orleans pass. We had been to the park a few times over the years, first as Jazzland then as Six Flags. I remember going about 2 weeks before Katrina on a weekend and thinking, hey, the park is finally starting to get its' act together. Six Flags was making some good investments. And, there were the rumored plans that the water park was finally gonna happen.

Then it all went to pot.
