I've been to the Six Flags here in Atlanta and it is a huge and beautiful park. How in the hell did Jazzland ever make it as a Six Flags park? If I remember, JazzLand only had a half a dozen rides or so.

If Mayor Daley were in charge the ride would demolished and carted off the same day. Nip those lawsuits in the bud.

The Oklahoma-based Six Flags Inc. entered into a long-term lease with the city, which owns the property, when the park emerged from bankruptcy in August. Six Flags invested $25 million in the park during the winter and opened a host of new rides in its quest to win back local customers and make the park profitable.

There doesn't seem to be much local enthusiasm, despite the changes. I don't think this Six Flags will make it. Too much rain this summer, and now this.

Anybody out there remember Ponchatrain Beach amusement park in New Orleans. Some nice boyhood memories there.

From what I understood, 6F plunged a ton of money into the park over the winter, and opened up a bunch of new rides this spring.

If I remember, JazzLand only had a half a dozen rides or so. Been there a few times, once within the last year. What I really like was when I was there, the lines were almost nil. As you know there are tons of roller coasters there so we had a blast.
