If New Orleans Burns how would Disney Recreate it as a "Theme Park?"
Edited on Wed Sep-07-05 06:14 PM by KoKo01
If a controlled burn is needed to get rid of the toxins in New Orleans, I'm wondering how Halliburton and Disney will reconstruct the city.

It could be recreated as an incredible "Survivor Park." There could be tie ins to all sorts of Cable Shows: "Rescued Pets," "Nursing Home Survivors" (would you save Granny and is it Worth it), "Toxic Gardens" (how to grow veggies with recycled sewage and cadaever waste)...Historic Old New Orleans Tours (See what was here how we burned it and how we re-created it...for the discriminating historian)....

I could go on an on. But what does anyone else think about how Halliburton and Disney would collaborate on the "REBUILDING OF NEW ORLEANS DISNEY THEME PARK?

2. have you waited in line a Pirates of the Carribean in Anaheim?
that should give you an idea of how it might play out. The hot sticky bayou evening, the restaurant, the whining and shreiking pre-teens.

7. Word is that the pirates will be replaced by Republicans

in the interest of accuracy and making the ride more contemporary.

Note that the Pirates of the Carribean ride is in "New Orleans Square" in Disneyland.

3. Those are all downers.
The bulk of the population, should they return, will live above water level. The port will be relocated, allowing the Mississipi to run as a river again.

The bulk of what is now New Orleans will go, leaving the French Quarter and any other architectural areas of interest. Surrounding that will be a ring of hotels. Staff will bus in from a relocated New Orleans.

4. Why is it that the gumby household
has also made reference to New Disney Orleand Park?

Maybe we see things most others don't?

5. A nightly Mardi Gras down "Main St.", led by Mickey Mouse,
Edited on Wed Sep-07-05 06:19 PM by Totally Committed
and his all-Disney Character Jazz Band. As the floats go by, Daisy Duck, Minnie Mouse, Mary Poppins, and assorted Pricesses would lift up their shirts and show their ****s for beads. The Mouseketeers would be having beer-chugging contests in the bar on the corner, with the object being to see who could throw up the most into one of Minnies high heels.... I think you get the idea -- NOT a good idea.

We should never let it happen.

6. Rockstar...

...controversy hounds they are, could surely get some free publicity from the turgid PR environment surrounding a Grand Theft Auto Orleans game.

8. Remember you'd need to do the "Eye Photo" for Iris Identification...and
probably give your Credit Card info so you can be checked into the Data Base...because the Credit Card companies know it all about us.

There would be check points for urine samples, skin data and a "swab for DNA" and we would give into it because our kids had begged and begged us to go on this trip...and we would have spent mega bucks (which all goes into the Homeland Rescue/Red Cross Rescue Donation Fund) and so we would give in and have all the checks done because our kids were crying.

Monsanto, Merk, Pfizer, Glaxo-Smith Kline would be happy to process our results and enter it into their "data base" along with the Feds and for just the huge PRICE OF ADMISSION our kids and us would be happy that we were giving so much to support this great "reconstruction of 'Old New Orleans.'"

There will be books and toys and cutsie stuff for the wife and kids in the "Theme Park Store" and free baseball caps and T-Shirts with appropriate sayings will be donated in the first year just so you know how much they appreciate your "DONATION" to the Restoration/Recreation.

It will be FUN...and for the BIG BANG..."IMAX THEATERS" will be showing the REAL KATRINA DISASTER MOVIE. BRING YOUR KIDS AND SEE IT IN 3-D!"

It's AMERICA...at it's FINEST! Bringing JOBS to those DISPLACED Black Folks. And, we will be happy because all the evacuee's will now have jobs and new Disney Built Apartments that are sooooo much better than these poor folks had before Katrina.

Let's tap and sing: "On the Good Ship Lollypop...."

9. kick...for suggestions for Disney Park Gulf/Historic New Orleans!
maybe if we get enough ideas together we can send to Disney/Halliburton and get a "cut of the action" for ideas for the new theme park when New Orleans is burned to the ground and is "clean enough" to rebuild again.

Keep those suggestions coming.
