the prince georges county park and planning commission says
29. Outdoor thrill rides or roller coasters commonly found at theme or
amusement parks will not be part of any entertainment venue, theme park or
amusement park developed by National Harbor unless the specific outdoor thrill
ride or roller coaster is allowed pursuant to approval of a Detailed Site Plan.
an 850 room hotel and resort ala Opryland Hotel is slated for the spot.

never met a coaster I didn't ride (except Junior Geminii) :(
This also could potentially mean good things for SFA's future as well,with added competition in the region it can serve as an incentive for SFI to really invest some big money into new attractions at a more frequent pace.
2) The Opryland Hotel, next to the ICC, has to be one of the longest delayed projects ever in the Washington area.
3) This was added to protect the area from becoming a amusement park and to give the country control as to what is developed on the property.

Hopefully, this isn't the end of new, high quality, tourist attractions in the PG County Area. It seems with as many people that come to the DC area, attractions would be much more plentiful. I guess investors are finally seeing the benifit of building in the Baltimore/Washington Area. Take the Arrundal Mills Mall for instance. It was built just a few years ago and already high quality resturants and shops have sprung up all around the mall. SFA has seen constant increases in attendance as well, even in years where a major attraction isn't added (2002 saw a 9% increase (if I'm not mistakin) for simply converting the trains on JJ and adding a new show package).

If you can't stand the heights, get out of the line.
