I remember seeing this place shut down back in 2007 when some friends and I visited New Orleans. It’s crazy to me that a company as large as Six Flags hasn’t done anything with this property in nearly 2 decades.
They don’t own it anymore. It’s changed hands a few times but no one wants to make any investment into developing there. It’s too much work and the risks are to great.
I knew it was up for sale but I didn’t know somebody had bought it.
I looked up what they had planned for the development and it’s absolutely insane. I’ll be shocked if this ever really gets off the ground especially for the budget and timeline they’ve given.
Plus, they’re asking for $100 mil in government funds. If you know anything about New Orleans politics be this will definitely end up in someone’s pockets. This whole thing reeks of grift. Hopefully I’m wrong because that area definitely needs help in turning around.
