The family that owns it must make a lot of money, because BB/DL adds ride(s) every year. Too bad DL is running out of room to expand. -Tatum

^ It surely wasn't Six Flags. -Tatum

I'm guessing the one that will soon call Kings Dominion is an Eyerly, too. Kings Dominion should be thrilled to have such a classic flat ride like the Spider. -Tatum

Unless the City of New Orleans sells the towers to Six Flags... SF once again doesn't own them. Six Flags only owns 3 other rides currently in the park. -Tatum

Blue Bayou--"The Land of the Giants". Honestly, I think Blue Bayou is better than Schlitterbahn New Braunsfeld. I think that Robb and Elissa should visit Blue Bayou/Dixie Landin' in the future. -Tatum

Baton Rouge is spelled wrong (Rpuge). I'm being mean finding spelling errors. Oh well! It can only make TPR better! -Tatum EDIT by larrygator: that's fine, I fixed it

I'm pretty sure the wooden track wasn't underwater. I think the steel structure was. Six Flags may be doing some of the work. -Tatum

Thanks! I just take an anual trip up there and I enjoy every visit. DL stays open pretty late, too. -Tatum

Part 2. Enjoy. -Tatum Galaxi's ride structure. That's it folks! Hope you enjoyed my P:TR! I want to see your comments and thoughts! Arrgghh! Gimme your booty! Fouchon Flyer's ride carriage. The Ferris Wheel (Chance). The ride was closed later in the day. I don't know why. This is the Grand Carousel. This is made by Chance. This is the first ride you will see as you enter the park. Hot Shot is a S&S Combo Tower. The best ride in all of Dixie Landin'. This is the Sidwinder. Made by Moser, new for 2008. Moser Sidewinder > KMG Fireballs The Hot Shot. Thanks Miracle Strip for giving us one of the best rides in the whole park! Look, the Rainbow almost has boobs! This is a sign of quality! Themeing around the park. DL has a nice little theme. I think I spelled "themeing" wrong. I know the sign says "Musik Express", but the correct name for the ride is "Zydeco Express". It's really fun "squshing" the person your riding with. Galaxi's exit platform and exit ramp. You can kinda see Galaxi's rocket cars. The Gumbo YoYo. Built by Chance. This is a great ride for families. Galaxi's turnaround right after the lift. Galaxi is going threw an "identity crissis", along with the Zydeco Express. The neon sign says "Galaxi", but the banner signs say "Roller Coaster". The Dixiedilly. This is the main, and only food resturant in DL. You can buy Coke products, burgers, chicken sandwhiches, fries and hot dogs here.

So, have these pictures changed your mind about coming to Blue Bayou/Dixie Landin? -Tatum

Mega Zeph is indeed salvagable. -Tatum

Six Flags doesn't own the Boomerang. Therefore, they can't legally take it. -Tatum

^ You have to include "deck" in there somewhere. -Tatum

I think a Wooden coaster would put Dixie Landin' on the national map. There aren't a lot of TPR members from Louisiana. The only ones I know of are: astroworldfan1, stingrock23, and TheAlex. I'm honored to be the first poster of Dixie Landin' pics! -Tatum

Dixie Landin' is a little, family-run park. Adjacent to DL is Blue Bayou, also owned by the same owners who own DL. Most of DL's rides are carnival rides, taken off of their trailers. Some of the rides were at a defuct park called "Fun Fair Park". Some even came from Pontrechain Beach. DL added a new (used) Moser Sidewinder this year, and added a new (used) Spinner. Robb and Elissa, I hope ya'll can get the chance to come back down to Louisiana again! Hope you enjoy the photos! I'll post some more tommrow. This is the first time TPR has seen photos of Dixie Landin'!! This is the first Dixie Landin' P:TR ever on TPR! YAY! -Tatum Ragin Cajun's cobra roll and loop. That's it for now! I'll post some more pics later tommorow. Hope you enjoyed my Dixie Landin' P:TR! If only Lisberg had a HUSS Rainbow....... The Galaxi. Built by S.D.C. Galaxi orignally called Pontrechain Beach Amusement Park home. Then after Pontrechain closed, it was bought by Fun Fair Park. After Fun Fair Park closed, and moved, it now calls Dixie Landin' home......for now. This is the "Rainbow". Made by HUSS. FUN FACT: This Rainbow is the original HUSS Rainbow that was at the New Orleans World Fair. Bet'cha didn't know that! Jambalya (Eli Bridge Scrambler). I didn't go on it this visit, but it's a very fun ride. I love the lights that are on the ride base on the top. Flyin Tigers (HUSS Enterprise). I like these rides, they're really fun! New last summer, Xtreme. If you went on TPR's 2008, Europe Trip, this would have been a coaster credit earned. Xtreme came from Drievliet Family Park. Maurer Sohne > Gerstlauer Ragin Cajun's neon sign. DL's very own Vekoma Boomerang, "Ragin Cajun". Call me crazy TPR. This is probably the smoothest Vekoma Boomerang with Arrow trains. I didn't experience any head banging at all! Almost too good to be true. Isn't it? Just look how "high tech" Spider's operator pannel is. It's amazing how far we've advanced in technology. This is the "Spider". I think this is a Eli Bridge or Hubretz or maybe even HUSS model. Anyone know for sure? DL's very own HUSS Pirate Ship. It's generic name is Pirate. I can see where Cedar Fair gets their "oh-so-original" names from. This is the "Fouchon Flyer" (Paratrooper). I love how it is mounted so it will never be on ground level. What's "Fouchon" your asking? It's a city in deep, deep south Louisiana. DL has a Tilt-A-Whirl like most parks, unlike Magic Mountain.

I don't get the concept of Hummers. I think the Army has a better use of them than normal citizens. Hummers only get like 5 miles to the gallon, going down hill----and on a good day. -Tatum

It's the Dr.Pepper picture that's on the cans and bottles. I don't know what else to say. -Tatum

Does anyone know the story that belongs to that house directly behind Wild One's helix? If you do, can you tell it? -Tatum

I think Ultra Twister's lift motor is being used for Roar. -Tatum

Goliath- Six Flags Over Georgia -Tatum

Yeah, that's not Elissa. Elissa is nice and slim, and that girl looks like she ate waaay too many Ding-Dongs. -Tatum "Elissa is about half that girl's weight"

Cats, Cash, and Illegal Plants. How many more times do you think we'll hear stories like this again this year? -Tatum

Could this be Elissa's evil twin sister, Melissa?? -Tatum

I wonder if they closed the one at Dixie Landin for inspections. The one at Dixie Landin has boobs! I be sure to get pics of it next time I'm there. -Tatum

OMG. I've been confusing Village Roadshow with that granny show "Antique Roadshow". Don't ask me how I did that. Back on subject...... In the future when someone asks, "what is a vertical loop" the reply will be, "what's a verticle loop"? We most likely won't have the same inversions in the future. -Tatum
