Uh oh...I seem to have made a mistake, I was in a hurry to read and post. I skimmed a bit too fast, and had mistaken the comment for something else Sorry about that, I see what I've done. But thanks for the comment, I owe it to the NO public school system

Wow; only two posts on this site and I'm already being bashed um, thanks for that... The exact reason I never posted here before, and this will surely be the last I am 15 by the way, class of '11. Who are you to tell me about my life, you don't know anything about me, much less my age Imagine if one of those precious parks was lost to a wildfire or earthquake over in Cali, I'm pretty sure everybody would be upset and do anything they could to get it back. Same situation, both disasters are prevalent; so why can't I rant about having my park back without someone breathing down my neck and telling me just how I should have to settle for nothing when there may be something to look forward to down the road? Forget this, just wasting battery time on my laptop I'm out

Money and timing He could acquire a rundown amusement park and rehab/renovate/restore for dirt cheap opposed to starting from scratch elsewhere, where the national economy has bitten a bit harder...yes i said it, New Orleans isn't facing the economic troubles and hardships that other cities around the country are (Thank you oil ). With the city's recovering process gradually moving forward, a park could spark the future development of one of the hardest hit areas, NO East. If the park were to open and prove successful, the East would flourish once again (bandwagon effect.) Also, there are several ways to acquire funding for the park that aren't available in other areas. We have gozone funds which are for the rebuilding efforts of the harder hit areas, which could possibly lower the cost of building the park. Or maybe he might not succeed, but if someone is willing to take a multi-million dollar mess and attempt to reopen it and turn that mess into something shiny and new that benifits me, I am going to be the last one to shoot down their stars. So theres no reason to knock his plan, just hope for the best, but don't give your hopes up if something takes an unexpected/expected turn. And sorry if I come off to you as a grouch, I'm a really nice guy and all, just get defensive over my turf and park

I've never gotten around to posting on here, but I wanted to see if any official word on the New Orleans park has been released recently, and from what I've seen, that would be a negative. BUT!! if you haven't heard, the name Danny Rogers is back again and he is attempting once again to gain control of the eyesore which once was an amusement park This should turn out interesting because of timing. The city is suing Six Flags for not complying with the lease agreements made to run the park, and Six Flags has some debt issues. Let's just hope the city doesn't get its hands on the park because of the money hungry politicians that seem to feed off of the anger and hostility of the people. We could think of Danny's plan to be an A+ for all parties concerned. Six Flags gets a little pocket change from SSA and the city gets its park back. Not bad? Anyways, the Southern Star Amusement website is back up and running, and if you check the news page you'll come across a press release...which is kind of interesting, so you should take a minute and check it out. ^Are there any leads as to who this could possibly be? I wish the best of luck to you Danny, and I hope you succeed, and I would be happy to support your efforts. http://southernstaramusement.com/ssa/index.html
