Is the blue rollercoaster the way down and the red one the return? Or are those two different coasters?

Anyone know enough about coasters to make a guess?

Wasn't this announced a year or two ago?

It looks cool, I guess. Does nothing for me personally, but it does seem like a nice amenity/attraction for the metro.

The city of Emerson might as well rename itself Lake Point, GA.

Looks like a pretty cool development, but I'll be surprised (and readily admit that I was wrong) if it's as successful as they predict.

6 million visitors per year? That's over 100,000 every week on average. That's an average of over 16,000 people every day. Even with one massive event per month, they'd need over a quarter of a million people to hit that number, and would still need a quarter of a million people through the rest of the month. Color me skeptical.
