calcajun Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 Exclusive inside look at devastated park for TPR members! Katrina causes Big fish to get caught on Batman The Ride exit ramp!

SharkTums Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 EWWWWW NASTY!!!! I wonder if it's worse to clean up that, or the puke from the Batman exit ramp? Thanks for posting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calcajun Posted January 29, 2006 Author Share Posted January 29, 2006 If you don't have Super Sorb, Prolly both just as bad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 Maybe it commited suicide? Must be a hard life being a fish. The whole of SFNO has just got to totally wrecked. It's sad to see a park go to waste but these thigns happen. Rest in piece Fishy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoasterCrazy Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 That is very nasty looking! I'm glad I'm not the person that is having to clean the park! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hattuchili Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 ^^ Ewwww, I hope not! However, it is really sad to see what happened to that Park! I hope they can clean everything and maybe save a few rides! --Sören Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St.LouisBOI Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 Is it still unknown about the parks future? Does anyone else notice the rusted paint on the railings that shows where the water line was? I see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECZenith Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 ::pours out some liquor:: Got me thinking, I wonder who'll get the BTR clone should SFNO close down for good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calcajun Posted January 29, 2006 Author Share Posted January 29, 2006 It's future is still uknown. Peeling paint and rust due to salt water. As was most of New Orleans, the whole park was eight feet under water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECZenith Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 At this point, is it known which rides are totaled? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calcajun Posted January 29, 2006 Author Share Posted January 29, 2006 SFI has not made any official statements on that yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cameraman Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 You can see the watermark on virtually everything in New Orleans East. You definitely don't forget about what happened out there. Here's a little peek from Michoud Blvd of the bus entrance into the parking lot. I believe the lot is being used by fema for trailers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calcajun Posted January 29, 2006 Author Share Posted January 29, 2006 "I believe the lot is being used by fema for trailers." In that photo of yours it sure looks like it. For those of us unfortunate to have to experience it, we know this as a "staging area". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St.LouisBOI Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 Well, if SFI decides to pull the plug on SFNO also...then it looks like the rides that can still work will be sent to other SF parks just like with the closing of SFAW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calcajun Posted January 29, 2006 Author Share Posted January 29, 2006 HAHaha! Thats so funny! "the rides that can still work" That was a good one to log off on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cameraman Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 LOL, if the rides worked then there would be a lot less of a problem. The latest buzz seems to be that many of the flat rides were leased from the manufacturers, and the manufacturers will not renew the lease on the rides or lease new equipment to fix the rides and will take them a way.

They should send SFNO's Batman to SFA, so we can finally get a B&M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shernernum Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 Why would you need a B&M, I mean you are already getting a TOGO what more do you want... Mike "Death Machines Rock" Hall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cameraman Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 Sounds like the only place BTR is going is Willy Nagin's Chocolate Land according to what the lease agreement says. It claims that the city of New Orleans becomes title to and owns all attractions put into the park using Six Flags' resources. Some other parks/property that are leased (at least partially)... Enchanted Village/Wild Waves La Ronde Six Flags Mexico Wyandot Lake (lease is currently expired and I don't think Six Flags has chosen to renew it yet, they have until 2008 to decide) Six Flags Marine World (lease is currently expired and Six Flags has to make a decision whether to buy it or not by 2010. It sounds unlikely that the city will renew the lease as they want to unload the park.) Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom (over half of the land is leased from the fairgrounds) Some of the European parks were also leased, so they can obviously transfer the lease.

Nrthwnd Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 Yuckity - yuk yuk - bleeeeaaaahhhh. That looked rather 'edgy' on that exit ramp, there. What one can (ahem) make out, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cameraman Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 If only the internet could send smells. There's definitely been a lot of interesting smells out there. From lovely rotting food in the fridge to flooded out homes emitting foul odors, Katrina has opened my nostrils to all sorts of things I could never imagine. Thanks a lot.

calcajun Posted February 1, 2006 Author Share Posted February 1, 2006 LOL, And the city would probably sell BTR right about now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
