Raccoon Island

Posted by Novastar on 11/11/25 at 3:18 pm
I thought this was a good story. Dave McNamara's latest Heart of Louisiana featured Raccoon Island and the Flamingo's that inhabit the island. Pretty surprising they are this far north and are able to survive.



This is posted at the top of Delta's home page. Planned FAA-directed cancellations have been completed through Wed., Nov. 12th. Hopefully not much impact to future flights, other than weather related delays.

Splitsville is a lot of fun for the whole family. It’s located at Disney Springs.

Good lord, people are stupid. I like the 'semi-literate' description. :lol:
Elections have consequences and this one might be most consequential yet for NYC.

You’re delusional.
I mentioned this on the thread in the Outdoor board, there needs to be a lawsuit filed in the 19th JDC.

I can't believe there's not one lawyer on TD that wouldn't support this cause and lead this effort. I suspect there would be a considerable amount of money raised in support of this effort.

CCA isn't taking a hard enough approach in my opinion. A lawsuit and negative press is something Landry wants to avoid at all costs. The media would be more likely to pick this story up as well.

He's a pile of trash.

I'm no attorney, but CCA should file a Declaratory Judgement Action in the 19th JDC. The only way this bullshite stops is taking them to court. It would get negative press for LDWF and the Coonass putz Gov. Landry.

I would gladly donate to attorney's fees for this cause.

I fly Delta exclusively and the Sky Clubs ease the travel chaos quite a bit; although, they can be busy at times. As a back up, we have Priority Pass via Chase Sapphire Reserve and it works in a pinch as well. I haven't been to the new Sapphire Reserve Lounges just yet. The only cities on my rotation would be LA and Las Vegas.

no clear path to a new arena


That's 100% incorrect. This project is currently in motion and working through design/budgeting phases.
Meh, those coasters were opened quite some time ago.

Top Thrill - 2003, Kindga-Ka - 2005, and Formula Rossa 2010

The tech has changed considerably since then. Track fatigue is more of an issue with older coasters.

The gas tax hasn’t increased in Louisiana since the 80s


It was 1990, close enough, 80% of the state-motor-fuel-tax revenues are directed to road/bridge maintenance construction.

Obviously, it's not enough to make any improvements or maintain the roads and infrastructure in the state.

Lets go...the meeting is on Thursday. Even if you can't stay, please try to go by and fill out a card of opposition. It matters.

We can all sit here and bitch about it, but here is your chance to show up.


You better get there early, or possibly camp out the night before. The last meeting was flooded with every boat captain, deck hands, and everyone else supporting their cause. They all boo hoo'd about their lively hood and generational right being taken away. :angry:

The commission chairman (Sagrera)


He's the fricking problem, it's a conflict of interest that Sagrera is the Commission Chairman and Omega is located in his Parish.

This is beyond 'typical' politics for Louisiana. CCA would do better taking their money and filing a petition for Judicial Review in 19th JDC.

I would gladly donate to this cause.

Doubtful, Intamin is the ride manufacturer s and has designed, engineered some of the best amusement rides over the past 50 years.
I'm all for infrastructure projects such as this, Louisiana is far behind with keeping up with neighboring states and their continued progress. I-10, I-20, and I-12 should be a priority from Texas to Mississippi. Unfortunately, we're politically doomed by abysmal leadership.

Tolls should be for commercial and out of state drivers, not LA residents. We pay enough taxes with little to show for it.

Good Halloween for us, plenty of kids this year.

This has set us back 25 years


No one knows the outcome at this point. Unfortunately, perception is reality, and this has become a PR disaster for LSU. Strong leadership choices for both the President and Athletic Director positions could help restore stability and confidence. We'll also need our Coon arse putz of a governor to keep his mouth shut moving forward.
