    I like the Mega Zeph. Would have loved to have rode it and the Batman ride and Zydeco Scream. Cool coasters.

      The only ride that wasn’t damaged was the Batman clone, and it was relocated to Fiesta Texas where it now operates today as “Goliath”
      Edit: road runner’s express also wasn’t damaged and was relocated to Magic Mountain

      However, Zydeco Scream was a Vekoma Boomerang, and Boomerangs are the most common coasters. You can find them at Six Flags and other parks.

      Well I got god news for you. Sense this park was owned by six flags. Some rides where saved sense they didn’t have much water damage. Road runner and Batman where the two rides saved. Batman is at six flags fiesta Texas (@San Antonio) as Goliath, and road runner is at six flags magic mountain (just an hour and haft outside la) with the same name and and color scheme.

    Formerly known as Jazzland, the park was washed out by Hurricane Katrina in late August 2005 and never rebounded. The park opened as Jazzland in 2000. Six Flags took ownership of the park in 2002. Due to the prolonged brackish water damage sustained by the rides and buildings, the park was shut down indefinitely without plans to rebuild, refurbish or reopen.

    Go get a winch and you can ride this coaster today. Just winch the train up the hill and enjoy your ride!

      That’s a good idea. I’ve been trying to figure out how to ride an abandoned coaster. Was thinking a generator to power the original ride mechanicals but this would be a lot simpler.

      @@Al_Patron361 if you are serious we should meet up at the park and try to ride jester. Although we would need to check the hydrolic locks on the restraints but if they are ratchet style we should be able to manually release the locks then have somebody hit the latch from the bottom to relock then. We would also have to cut the hydrolic brakes so the train would be able to roll out of the station. I actually did try doing this at geauga lake but before I went to ride I notice a big tree had grown through the track. Kind of ruined my evening lol

    • @V4mpyRB
      @V4mpyRB 3 месяца назад +1

      No reason, they just didn't reopen, I don't think they just didn't though, I assume the hurricane did so much damage that the park was beyond repair, that could explain why some rides like Batman: The ride, Roadrunner Express, and their droptower were all relocated

  • @marcusgraham4117
    @marcusgraham4117 2 месяца назад

    I’m assuming due to the lack of people like in this picture that’s why they didn’t reopen. Maybe Busch Gardens should buy the property and give it a shot. They would probably be very successful there.
