Yep. You'd need a crap ton of flood protection. Not to mention high winds would screw it up just as easily.

It's so dumb I really hope they're not really considering his offer

It's a swamp. There is nothing appealing about that area. An Atlantis style resort? WTF.

We have a winner. Anyone that wants to say different should come visit Six Flags In Atlanta. If you want a truly great experience come on Fathers Day or one of the other promotional days where there a lot of free passes given out.

Surprise surprise, they are punting again (or at least that's the recommendation by the subcommittee. Whole board meeting at 12:30)

Three offers to buy the decaying Six Flags park in New Orleans East failed to win favor from a review committee of the Industrial Development Board on Thursday (March 16), leaving the future of the 227-acre property murky again.


quote:

"We're anxious to see something happen with Six Flags, but we're not anxious to see it wind up for an unknown period with blight," said board president Alan Philipson.

As opposed to the past 11 years of blight?

quote:

"I don't see any depth of commitment financially into the development of the property once we get past the purchase" Philipson said.

Who cares? That's the new landowner's problem.
