i don't see how a theme park could fail in orleans parish and yet be successful a few miles down the road.....
and where in JP would house a theme park???
I'm not sure that's true Pop. How many Kenna Bras do you know that won't go into Orleans Parish, much less New Orleans East? I know there are a lot of people in Metairie and other surrounding Parishes that are like that. Also, I recall that when the Zephyr's were playing out at UNO in Eastern New Orleans they had trouble drawing, but got much better crowds when they moved to Metairie. As far as a location in JP, I know that Holy Cross High School was cosidering a big track of land out in Kennah Bra, it might be big enough for a theme park.
By the way, whenever people talk about theme parks in the area, I can't help but recall that they wanted to locate Disney World on the North Shore, but so many politicians had their hands out that they decided to locate in Orlando, FL. How much better would our schools and economy be with that kind of draw on the North Shore to go with the French Quarter on the South Shore?
