Check out images of the insert in the photo gallery. March 30, 2003 - 1:30pm The Times Picayune did an extensive article on the transformed Six Flags New Orleans. Check out the online article. March 30, 2003 Saturday, March 29th was the first day for season pass processing. I have heard that lines were sporadic and almost non-existent. Much of this is probably due to minimal advertising by SFNO. I have posted some new pictures of the DC Comics Superheroes Adventure area which shows the progress of its construction. Judging from these photos, SFNO has a lot of work to do to get this area near completion by next weekend's grand opening. I believe they will get all the DC rides up and running though. March 29, 2003 - 2:30pm SFNO's newest water fountain is in Main Street Square (formerly the Jazz Fountain). The new fountain has dancing water effects and changes colors. Check out the video of the fountain in action. March 29, 2003 - 12:30am On Friday night, March 28th, Six Flags New Orleans hosted a private party for H&R Block employees and their families. All of the old rides were operating in Mardi Gras except for Krazy Krewe. A couple of rides in Cajun Country and Pontchartrain Beach were also operating. None of the new rides were in operation, but we did manage to get some GREAT photos of the new transformation, including Batman: The Ride, The Jester, the newly transformed Looney Tunes Adventure and more. March 26, 2003 Six Flags New Orleans mailed out a flyer to previous pass holders and targeted customers advertising the transformed park and season passes. You can check out shots of the flyer in the photo gallery. March 24, 2003 Season Pass vouchers went on sale today at Winn Dixie stores. They are $49.99 plus tax. Here is a shot of the front and back of the actual voucher you receive. These vouchers can be exchanged for a real Season Pass the first time you enter the park, or you can get them processed on one of three pre-season processing dates: Saturday, March 29th - 12 to 6pm Thursday, April 3rd - 5 to 9pm Friday, April 4th - 5 to 9pm March 23, 2003 Batman: The Ride will have at least one concrete trench similar to the final trench on the B:TR at Six Flags over Texas.
