New Mardi Gras Themed Area

[RagingBullDude13]

How do you get tickets anyways?

[Carlo]

Yes, I see the Press Release said that but is not very clear. At NCC Tim Black said that it would be from the train to the Bridge. They never said anything about other part of Orleans Place.

Also, if you read Daily Herald it says, "The new roller coaster will be the highlight of the 2-acre expansion, located just south of Orleans Place, in front of the Racing Rapids water ride, Storey said."
Another Quote: "The restaurant in the new Mardi Gras area will also be renovated to accommodate our new theme," Storey said. "We will also be building a band shell and featuring jazz and bluegrass bands every night the park is open."

Media day means you are with the media to get invited. (duhh).

And of course if you are Coasterdude316's personal bodyguard, you get access as well.

I gotta keep the Engh stalkers and the ladies off of him.

[holydumb26]

Ahhh you dont get tickets for Media Day just so you know. You have to be part of the Media (Tv News,News paper,website, ect) or be invited, or win some sort of contest like last year they did the Clark Kent thing.

Media day will be in May.

You must be invited to attend.

The New Mardi Gras Area is not expected to open till the 3rd week in May.

They said they hope to have all the attractions up nd running by the time the park opens on a daily basis. That doesn't nessecerly mean that a few of them won't be open in time for opening day.

How did they invite you? e-mail?

[Cs6153]

At the NCC, they give you a special postcard to fill out and send in. Then they select so many to go to media day. If you are selected, then you are invited. They did not say if they would mail you an invite or if they would call you or if they would e-mail you.

[coasterswimgurl12]

why would Media Day be in May? the park opens the first day in May, wouldn't it have to be in April???

[coasterguy]

Media Day will be before all the new stuff is ready for operation. If that happens to be in july then media day will be in july.

V2 media day was at the end of may.

Wow some people just cant read a newspaper article for their life. Chitown posted an article that was published today. Most of that information came from the press release and NCC. Now it said that Orleans place will be renamed to Mardi Gras. I trust a newspaper, where they have the press release , over a person who is so excited about the new additions that they only hear half of what is being announed. I guess we will have to wait and see to prove some people wrong.

The Magic show is going in the Grand Music Hall, Theatre Royale will have a Bugs Bunny Character show again.

[EVOed8]

Well maybe this year's media day won't be freezing cold like last year. Riding Superman about 75 times that day last year seemed like a chore, but it was so hard to get off!

[UnBullievable]

Might I remind you all this is the first permanent Disk-O ever?

Mardi Gras is going to make the ST expansion look like a mockery. On top of the Wild Mouse, Top Spin, Balloon Race, and Disk-O, Mardi Gras will also be equipped with a bandshell which means those concert rumors may be true after all!

What this proves is that SFGAm does care about theming and not just big rides anymore. This could be the birth of a much cooler SFGAm!

[SFGAm Viper]

ITS NOT A DISK-O!!!!

(its awesome...but no way its better than the SWT expansion either)

[UnBullievable]

*mental note: kill contact*

I didn't know it was a Rockin' Tug until I checked out kylecoasterworld. I still can't believe my parents wouldn't let me go just because it was my birthday. This is still a very sweet gift from SFGAm though! I'm just glad they had the press release in the paper the day of the con BEFORE the presentation! That made me very happy as well. And as for the Rockin' Tug. Cool. Disk-O would be better.

I'm scared. SFGAm is going to be a big yellow spot on the map in 2004. Beware the yellow...

[CoasterDave316]

but no way its better than the SWT expansion either)

I agree, there isn't much they can add that can top the Southwest Territory expansion. The themeing and rides that were all added to that area make it one of the most popular areas in the park.

[Binks Drake]

wow!
I was on vacation for the long weekend and wow did i miss a lot! Things like this only happen when i'm on vacation! S:UF, This, ETC...

You don't get tickets to Media Day, you get invited.

How did they invite you? e-mail?

You recieve it through the mail, you know, in your mailbox or PO Box. To get invited you have to be on their media list, if you run something media related (IE WORTHY site, or your a news reporter or whatever) you can request to be invited and you might be.

[SFGAmDemon]

The rides in the new Mardi Gras area may not open until the 3rd week in May. Will they open the new Mardi Gras area or keep it blocked off untill then.

[Papas]

Well if it's not ready for opening day I assume they will have the southside of Orleans closed off (with Rapids Closed) although the S:UF part would stay open - just my assumption though but I hope it's ready for opening day.

[InsaneNewman]

A while back, someone mentioned having a CD with artists renderings of all the rides and the new Mardi Gras area. Any chance of uploading them?

If they are set so you can't save the individual files, PM me... I can help figure out how to save them.

I can get media tickets from somebody I know. I dont need an invite.
