City government seems to not at all be interested in this property and any new ideas seem to be more along the lines of strip malls. If the IDB decides to sell, it could at least allow other companies to take over and return Jazzland. Since the closure of AstroWorld in Houston, there are literally no amusement parks from Atlanta to San Antonio (except small ones and, of course, Blue Bayou/Dixie Landing). I think this would be a prime opportunity for a development team to redevelop this park! I know it's not in the perfect location, but come on. However, if the city decides to keep the property, I certainly feel that there will be no amusement park option, seeing as they always fight that idea. I really do not get this city's fixation on turning it into a strip mall! There's plenty of land surrounding it to build that if the city really wants to. Why is this park the only option available? And if the city is trying to be a more "family friendly" location, why not start with a theme park? I don't think we need to turn into a Disney, but at least give us options...

Theme parks have just become a problem for many cities. Thats why so many places dont want them. trust me there is a reason no theme parks exist between san antonio and atlanta now. They just dont attract the clientele that a disney does or universal studios. Personally the city should just sell it!
I Know I should be ashamed of this but Im really excited to see Waffle House on Canal is cruising along now:
