astroworldfan1 Posted September 16, 2008 Posted September 16, 2008 Hey guys! I just scanned this Jazzland stuff in and I thought I would share it with you. This has been hidden and locked up for a while. This is the first time TPR will be able to see this! Enjoy these relics from a park that didn't last too long! I'll post the park map later when I have time! PLEASE COMMENT! -Tatum A letter I was sent about Season Pass stuff. I hope you liked it! I'll post the park map in a couple of days! Stay tuned for more! Operating Hours and Calender of Operation.
astroworldfan1 Posted September 16, 2008 Author Posted September 16, 2008 This is Jazzland's map and park guide! Enjoy! I still want your comments! -Tatum
mattnz Posted September 16, 2008 Posted September 16, 2008 Poor old Jazzland. Interesting to see these early brochures - cheers!
astroworldfan1 Posted September 16, 2008 Author Posted September 16, 2008 ^Thanks! I'll post one brochure from it's SF era. -Tatum
Wood Dragon 1988 Posted September 16, 2008 Posted September 16, 2008 I love jazz. I love theme parks. I lvoe crazy CCIs. I love small parks. I think I would have liked to visit here. Thank's for posting.
Marcio Posted September 16, 2008 Posted September 16, 2008 I like to see these old stuff... Very good! It was a nice place to visit. Looking forward to see the SF one!
astroworldfan1 Posted September 16, 2008 Author Posted September 16, 2008 Hey Guys! Here is a 2004 SFNO brochure. I thought I would add this in! Sadly, I didn't get a season pass for SFNO. But, I did visit the park a lot! Damn it, I can't find my 2000 Jazzland Seasonpass! Enjoy! I want your comments! -Tatum Feel free to comment!
winningfreak Posted September 16, 2008 Posted September 16, 2008 ^ Nice maps! I really wish I got a visit when it was open. I got a ride by eariler this year but it was just sad...
astroworldfan1 Posted September 16, 2008 Author Posted September 16, 2008 ^ Thanks! I'm still pissed I can't find my seasonpass. Yet, when I'm at my cousin's house in New Orleans, I find hers randomly laying on the floor. I picked it up and put it in a safe place so she could perserve it. What puzzles me is why wasn't Mega Zeph in The Pontarchain section of the park instead of the Mardi Gras section? -Tatum
thrillerman1 Posted September 16, 2008 Posted September 16, 2008 I love seeing this type of stuff. Thanks for sharing! If there's one good thing that came out of my Miracle Strip visit before its demise, it was also getting to visit SFNO during the same trip back in 2004. A friend and I planned a trip down to MSAP for closing weekend and decided to do other "nearby" parks, so naturally we included SFNO. It was Labor Day weekend and little did we know then what was in store exactly a year later when Katrina decided to pay a little visit to the park. I'm really glad I got to check it out as I think the park had a lot of untapped potential.
TheRapidsNerd Posted September 16, 2008 Posted September 16, 2008 Good historical contribution! Montezooma would be proud.
astroworldfan1 Posted September 16, 2008 Author Posted September 16, 2008 ^ I hope he sees this thread! Thanks for the replies! -Tatum
montezooma Posted September 17, 2008 Posted September 17, 2008 I like seeing the old "Jazzland" logo. This is such a strange amusement park story. I remember them talking about building this park right around the time that Ponchartrain Park closed. But they really had trouble raising the cash. For years I would see renderings at the IAAPA convention but nothing ever happened. Then all the sudden it was on, unfortunately it missed all their projections and that is why Six Flags got it for such a steel. I see that they are now starting to move more rides out and relocate them to other parks. *tap*tap* - that is the sounds of the final nail... PS- you made me proud!
astroworldfan1 Posted September 17, 2008 Author Posted September 17, 2008 ^ Thank you! I feel happy now!
ebl Posted September 17, 2008 Posted September 17, 2008 Thanks for sharing this stuff. I have old maps and brochures from Magic Mountain, Knott's, Disneyland, and Busch Gardens Los Angeles that I need to get scanned and posted somewhere. Hopefully Jazzland's successor will do well. Actually, it'd be SFNO's successor. Southern Star, right? Eric
astroworldfan1 Posted September 17, 2008 Author Posted September 17, 2008 ^ Yes it is. I have no doubt SSA will bring the park back to its "world class theme park" days again. -Tatum
astroworldfan1 Posted September 17, 2008 Author Posted September 17, 2008 Hey guys! I've posted some new things from Jazzland. Things like a Seasonpass Holder's coupon book and a Bring a Friend ticket. I can't get over how cheep parking used to be. I can't remember if it was for the GP or just for Seasonpass holders, but parking was $5. Well, that was way back in 2000! Please, I want your comments! -Tatum I'm surprised I never used this coupon! For a couple of years, Ogden owned Jazzland. You could use season pass at other Ogden parks. Most of them are water parks. I don't know if Ogden still owns them.
mike541x Posted September 17, 2008 Posted September 17, 2008 Awesome stuff. I like the hours on Jazzland's brochure too.
astroworldfan1 Posted September 18, 2008 Author Posted September 18, 2008 ^ I love theme parks at night. That's when they begin to get fun. It's cool to see all of the lighting packages on rides. -Tatum
montezooma Posted September 19, 2008 Posted September 19, 2008 ^Plus when Jazzland first opened you wouldn't want to visit it during the day. There was practically no landscape and no shade. Nights were pleasant but day visits where unbearable.
thrillerman1 Posted September 20, 2008 Posted September 20, 2008 Here is my Mega Zeph magnet I snagged while I was at SFNO in 2004. Back side of the magnet. Made in China...score! Weee...down the drop. The train moves!
