What the.. huh?

Ok so first, Six Flags New Orleans will receive no new investment for the 2004 season outside of bathroom maintenance.

In 2003, Six Flags planned to invest $125 million to $130 million at its parks around the world, a decrease from the previous year. In 2004, the Oklahoma company plans to invest about $43 million, according to the trade journal Amusement Business. Nearly half of that money is slated to go to projects aimed at making guests more comfortable, such as improving bathrooms. Only six of the company's 39 parks are getting new rides this year, according to Amusement Business.

In the meantime, Six Flags Great America in Gurnee, Illinois will receive a whole new section titled "Mardi Gras." These improvements include a new 1,378 foot long roller coaster called the "Ragin' Cajun." Weird.
