They are missing an important element in my book...
An Indoor Waterpark element to help with Sept to June.

They are at least 3.5 million at 3hrs or less drive to this. It stands a chance. 5 hours gets Nashville and Birmingham involved, even St. Louis.


Now if the Mayor of Memphis could get to Copenhagen and check out Tivoli Park and make that connection to what Mud Island could be.

An Aquarium

Revamped Museum complete with flying theater trip of the Mississippi from the headwaters to the Gulf.

Revamped Riverwalk with additional botanical features and small performance areas.

Revamped Amp with architecturally significant cover without obstructing skyline view.

Eateries

A modest in number but high quality selection of rides that maximizes the space, like Tivoli.

A relocation of the the marina to maximize space on the Island.

Land bridge connecting Beale Street Landing to the southern end of the Island.

Weekend fireworks throughout the summer.

A winter operating program consisting of lighting, decor, skating rink, a European style winter market that lines the Riverwalk and a centerpiece Lighted Christmas tree at the Gulf that does a light show set to music.

Some developments for Downtown.

Viking is actually finally starting river cruising. The Two existing companies have more starts and stops planned for Memphis. 2023 is looking to be stellar with an insane amount of cruise visitors compared to past years.

Commercial appeal site/ edge district
 
What’s next for CA site once it’s no longer needed as over flow site?? It sits on 13 acres and has vacant lot and buildings right next to it. Also the rising edge district sits directly across the street with future development planned for that district. 901 fc will eventually have to start the process of a soccer specific stadium it’s my belief that the edge district should be the cities soccer capital. Here’s a blue print of what the CA site and edge district should become.
