Bringing Back Jazzland


The group that wants to purchase and reopen Jazzland (Six Flags New Orleans) is allowing visitors to its web site to help pick what water slides to build for their 2009 reopening.

Southern Star Amusements is allowing visitors to review the slides here, and then you can vote on what you like on their forums.

The whole deal is weird, but if it's legit then it's pretty cool. I've just never seen a group of people put photoshopped alien pics onto ride photos and let strangers help pick out their rides. Maybe it's just a different, less corporate, approach to the whole plan? I dunno.

Talk about mowing the lawn when the house is on fire! It is a shame to know the park is just sitting there. Let's hope that the new interest group succeeds in rejuvenating the park, but really, maybe they should spend a year just fixing the place up instead of concerning themselves with buying a new water slide!

Yes ... their approach is certainly ... different. But like you said, I hope the best for them. That property is going to need a lot of work.
