Park News & Rumors - (11/15/02) In a press release today, Six Flags has announced that Jazzland will change its name to Six Flags New Orleans and recieve $20 million in improvements next season. Season Passes are already on sale it seems, and are good at all other Six Flags parks world-wide. In addition to the Batman inverted coaster, the park will add a second steel coaster called “The Jester” will have three inversions and 1900 feet of track in the Mardi Gras area. From the stats, this seems to match up very well with the closed Joker’s Revenge from Six Flags Fiesta Texas. They will build an all new DC Comics land in the park to house Batman, next to Cajun Country. Additional thrill rides and buildings will be added to reinforce the superhero them of the new land. They will also transform the kiddie area of the park into Looney Tunes Land. Batman will also arrive in the form of a new water Stunt Show. Overall the park will add six new rides next season.

2003 - Batman: The Ride - Confirmed - (11/13/02) The park is just awaiting approval for their building permits to start work on their 2003 attractions. The press conference wont be until Thursday, but plans submitted place the B&M Inverted coaster in Cajun Country, behind Cypress Plunge and Zydeco Scream. Other items listed on the plans include three new rides where Jazz Lake is now as: New Shake Ride, New Jukebox Ride, New Windshear Ride. I’m not sure about the rest, though a Mondial Shake comes to mind.
