That "would have been" the rock n roll theme park.

True, but that doesn't mean they'll be gone, just re-organized.
BTW as far as I can recollect, SixFlags didn't have anything to do with these 2 hair-brained idea's as I recall.
I do believe the "developers" were "hoping" they could lure SixFlags as the concessionaire that would run these pie in the sky fantasy's once completed, but of course that NEVER even came close to reality.
The thing that peeves me about all this "speculation" that gets reported about this project and the many others like it, that go back many years now, is the amount of pure BS that ends up jacking up the price on raw land in the area. Real Estate agents foam at the mouth and tell prospective land buyers that this area is ripe for explosion with the announcement that there's a theme park coming to the area.
This isn't the first time and it won't be the last.
Some years ago, I had inquired about raw land in the area and asked the question why this land was significantly more expensive than comparable land elsewhere and the answer I got was that there was a theme park coming to the area and the value will go up significantly in a few short years.
This was around 10 years ago. Sounds familiar doesn't it!
I was looking at this area as a retreat/recreational property that was relatively close to the Grand Canyon, an area that I love exploring and being around.
I've since bought property elsewhere, refusing to pay what I'll call the "idiot tax" on land in this area.
If you're willing to some digging, and wait out the hype on these "non-events" prices do come down once everyone pulls their collective heads out of their butts and realize they have nothing but raw land with little to no investment potential.
