That will be a collosal waste of money. How does something like that, in that location even get insured?

Henry's plan is to turn the blighted property into a sprawling complex of water parks, youth sporting facilities, two hotels, an 8.5-acre clear lake for swimming, a movie studio, amphitheater, retail outlets and other amenities.

The remediation costs are in the $10 million range. Nothing will ever be there but a rotting theme park.

This will be exactly like Blue Bayou but on a larger scale.

Bumping. Getting closer to unenthusiastic hand jobs for everyone.

This property has been the biggest scam in NOLA for the last 20 years. Developer comes up with plan, city gives them money, developer passes it down to the next developer. Rinse and repeat. Drew Brees was even in on it at one point.

Within a couple of years will be full of gators and nutria.

That's pretty ambitious. What is this supposed to cost?

I can only imagine how awful that place would be if it was ever opened.

And while the group hasn't yet secured funding or partners to operate the attractions, Henry and city officials said signing the lease was an important step so that the millions of dollars in grant applications process may begin

I'd be shocked if a shovel ever breaks ground there.

I bet it would have made a kick-arse paintball complex.
