1. I have no idea what you mean by this remark.
2. I'm not trying to dis Mississippi or anything, but it is one of the, if not the poorest state in the Union, and i don't really see how having lots of Casinoes was in on that. I would suggest you look through some of the recent census results for yourself. Building a park with 8 rollercoasters there just seems like an odd business desicion to me. Is the nearest metro area just Memphis?

Fighting for peace is like screwing for virginity.
I lived in Memphis for almost a year and have travelled there on business on a few occasions. Their airport is EXPENSIVE to fly in and out of, at least from Texas, that is.
Still, I wish the project the best and will certainly make effort to visit it, even with its seemingly strange location.

Lets look at the facts to do in the area. You can take a trip to the casinos, watch an NBA game, watch one of the best AAA baseball teams in the country in the finest minor league stadium in the country,
What NBA team is in the area of Memphis? Also Memphis doesn't have the finest minor league stadium in the country that title is held by the Quad City Riverbandits in Davenport, Iowa trust me its been in Sports Illustrated and Time magazine.

-The park will be the largest worldwide and will break numerous world records.
-It will feature the most rides worldwide.
-Eight coasters will grace the park at opening.
-800 million dollars has been raised so far to turn this into reality. A large group of private investors are those who are developing this park.
That is all I can divulge as of now. I hope you understand and appreciate what I have given so far.

Will this thing kill Libertyland, or bring more people to visit it as well?
I hate to say it, but the park will probably kill Libertyland. Even thought the park is not all that great, it's sad when any park has to close. If the park does not close, it will just generate no revenue and eventually lead to the end of the park anyway. BTW, thanks Brett!
