Was the old Blue Collar concept, this thing already has footers laid. Seems they went with the Zamperla volume discount package.

Much better without the Blue Collar stuff. The whole concept is great - it's the kind of thing developers always pitch but end up overshooting to try and sell the pitch better. I love that this is all sensible and backed by an Indian tribe which should provide some stability.

I'll definitely get down there ASAP when they open, seeing as the last 4 or so parks didn't make it past the second season at most...

It provides an incentive to not to fly to Orlando. This along with the expansion plans that includes rides at the Margaritaville in Biloxi and what's existing could make for good breaks in the drive. Add in the push for Jazzland and it gets even a better. Shame the park in Panama City didn't make it.
