Another major corporation received millions in insurance moneys, but did not put then to use. I was there about 7-8 years ago with family and friends and had a great time. The place was beautiful and well cared for and now when so many people could be employed to rebuild this park, it sets there with nothing being done. I do not intend to go to another 6 Flags park again, and will be selling my stock in 6 Flags. It is not a cooperation that I want to deal with.

tof - I know what you mean about local zoning officials. Going though it now about my new house. I am demolishing a house that is over 60 years old, eaten up with every bug there is and covered over with vines and other growth to build a new one. The county permit office says the old house doesn't exist because there computer records. The county computer only go back 15 years. There to lazy to get out of there office, so I had to take pictures of it. Then the had the gall to say that they would have to verify I was correct and within the next 4-6 weeks someone would come out to the property to insure the pictures were correct. Don't you love government.

If it wasn't so sad it would be funny!
And they say local government is the best government. The scary thing is: "they" could be right.

You should have agreed with them on the spot and demanded a refund of all the various property taxes you've paid over the years. I'm guessing the house would pop into existence again like magic.

a former coworker had to deal with local governments.
they had bought a house with full intention of raising it and building a new property.
it was a small lot but it was waterfront etc etc etc. they wanted to relocate the house further from the water.
The town determined the lot was not conforming to current standards and wouldn't allow them to build.
So they simply "renovated" the old house.
They retained a section of wall 3 feet high and 8 feet long in the middle of the basement.
everything else was new.

That is a lot of scrap metal. If anyone has seen "The Wire" those photos make me picture Bubbles trying to put hunks of the roller coaster into a shopping cart.
