Akira1422 Posted October 10, 2005 Posted October 10, 2005 Resize this if you want, but everyone should see the detail of this photo. My dad is with the Nat'l Guard, he went to Mississippi. On the laptop he had I found this picture, other people have used it, so I'm not sure where it came from. If anyone knows what place this is, please post it on here... Get ready.. Quote
Scooby_Doo Posted October 10, 2005 Posted October 10, 2005 That's Really sad SFNO just opened now look at it.... I have seen so many pictures of SFNO underwater but this one tops the list. Quote
FOF/Z 4-ever Posted October 10, 2005 Posted October 10, 2005 WOW. That pic leaves you speechless. Quote
Akira1422 Posted October 10, 2005 Author Posted October 10, 2005 I havent kept up with the info about this park. First pic I've really seen of it. Just thought everyone should see it... Quote
flightoffear1996 Posted October 10, 2005 Posted October 10, 2005 That park looks like it was a pretty nice theme park too. Quote
TheKlockster Posted October 10, 2005 Posted October 10, 2005 Yeah theres like a whole gallery of SFNO pictures out there somewhere. SFNO Pics There are some excellent pictures here. Quote
screamingnight Posted October 10, 2005 Posted October 10, 2005 That's Really sad SFNO just opened now look at it.... I have seen so many pictures of SFNO underwater but this one tops the list. That`s sad. Makes me wanna cry. (I know I`m a wimp.) Quote
Gordon Bombay Posted October 10, 2005 Posted October 10, 2005 Did Six Flags build a completely new park in that location or was it a park prior to SF buying it. Quote
Captain Nemo Posted October 10, 2005 Posted October 10, 2005 This really shows the damage of the park than the other photos of it. It's so sad, even when it's been over a month. Quote
WooferBearATL Posted October 10, 2005 Posted October 10, 2005 Just Looks Like SFNO is just going with that "Under Water" Theme. From the pics it seems to be a success! Quote
teenageninja Posted October 10, 2005 Posted October 10, 2005 That was in really [expletive removed] taste... you deserve to go to hell for that. Quote
TheKlockster Posted October 10, 2005 Posted October 10, 2005 No really, it looks like the park was not badly damaged by the Hurricane. I mean of course the flood damage on the buildings will be extensive. But their wood coaster uses steel supports. So corner cutting on Six Flags behalf actually was a blessing in disguise! I heard somewhere the park will reopen, but not as a Six Flags park - but as just a locally owned and operated park. 1 Quote
FOF/Z 4-ever Posted October 10, 2005 Posted October 10, 2005 That was in really [expletive removed] taste... you deserve to go to hell for that. I agree (Except for the going to hell part. That is wrong too). Quote
coastergirl Posted October 10, 2005 Posted October 10, 2005 This may be a silly question, but I noticed that there was a Spongebob movie or ride of some kind. I thought only Paramount had Spongebob. Six Flags can have rights to Spongebob also? Quote
King Bowser Posted October 10, 2005 Posted October 10, 2005 Paramount sold the rights to SF so they can have Spongebob in all SF parks. And thats just awful SFNO just opened up not to long ago man thats sad I hope they rebuild. Quote
FOF/Z 4-ever Posted October 10, 2005 Posted October 10, 2005 ^Does that mean Paramount does not own the rights to SB themed rides? So, no boat ride for SB then? Quote
screamingnight Posted October 10, 2005 Posted October 10, 2005 That was in really [expletive removed] taste... you deserve to go to hell for that. Who? Me? Quote
WooferBearATL Posted October 10, 2005 Posted October 10, 2005 That was in really  taste... you deserve to go to hell for that. Joke, it's a joke. Think about it. This all happened in my backyard. We still have several thousand displaced people living here in ATL. Humor helps people understand and deal with tragic situations. Quote
King Bowser Posted October 10, 2005 Posted October 10, 2005 ^^Yes paramount owns the rights to all things spongebob and all things Nick and Nick Jr.. That boating school attraction could indeed happen just wait til Jan to see if it does. Quote
screamingnight Posted October 10, 2005 Posted October 10, 2005 could six flgas ever buy paramount parks? They could do some great things with it. Quote
Braves0511 Posted October 10, 2005 Posted October 10, 2005 correct me if I'm wrong, I am not sure if I understand the whole situation. But I thought Six Flags was on the auction block.?! Quote
Akira1422 Posted October 10, 2005 Author Posted October 10, 2005 This really shows the damage of the park than the other photos of it. It's so sad, even when it's been over a month. It's not a current photo. This photo is from someone my dad works with. The pics were on his laptop tho (edited with bold to put emphasis) Quote
Delirium_Guy Posted October 10, 2005 Posted October 10, 2005 No really, it looks like the park was not badly damaged by the Hurricane. I mean of course the flood damage on the buildings will be extensive. But their wood coaster uses steel supports. So corner cutting on Six Flags behalf actually was a blessing in disguise! I heard somewhere the park will reopen, but not as a Six Flags park - but as just a locally owned and operated park. Six Flags didn't build Megazeph, the folks from Jazzland built it prior to the Six Flags purchase. The other thing, steel supports aren't neccesarily a corner cutting thing. Parks that are cramped on space benefit from the steel support structures because they typically require less room. Currently, in the Six Flags agreement with the city of New Orleans....in exchange for not paying property tax and city fees, Six Flags is required to rebuild in the event of damage. Not sure if they'll find a way outta that one or not? If they can, they'd be smart to get out! The park has lost money since it opened in 2000, slapping the Six Flags name certainly didn't help as expected either. Sadly, Megazeph is one of about 10 CCI's that I haven't been on :-( Hope it finds a new home or gets a second chance in New Orleans! Quote
harvesterofyoursorrow Posted October 11, 2005 Posted October 11, 2005 I really like this water ride: http://interthemepark.shutterfly.com/actio...d=1128990460371 Quote
Pkirocker77 Posted October 11, 2005 Posted October 11, 2005 That is sad. I hope some one reopens the park. Katrina victims, our hearts are with you. Quote
Gordon Bombay Posted October 11, 2005 Posted October 11, 2005 could six flgas ever buy paramount parks? They could do some great things with it. Like what? Run all 5 of our parks into the ground, let the midways become landfills, and not inspect our rides properly? Oh yeah, I just cant wait for SF to buy up Paramount parks, they need to do something about that 3 billion dollar debt thing though. Quote
Outdoor Man Posted October 11, 2005 Posted October 11, 2005 they or someone will find a way to re-open.... EXTENSIVE floods came to visit Coney Island every 15 years or so..... and it always reopened.... most recently 1997. My guess; the coasters will ride again. Quote
