Xanadu

[ScottySkis]

According to news accounts, redoing the ugly facade is a priority.

That is great it looks like puke from my mile away on highway.

So, started construction on this fine elephant 8 years ago, has yet to open and today I drive by and see they are tearing off the roof.

I hear they're going to change the name to Xanadont

I would try it in summer times, and it could help get people into the sport we all love bringing more money into my favorite hills so that is a plus.

I can't believe the amount of money poured into this mess! :???: Ridiculous!

Giants, Jets sue to stop construction
...The[y] cite the failure of the Edmonton, Canada-based developer to obtain their consent for an expanded footprint that would include an indoor amusement and water park....

Can we perhaps start a pool on whether or not this place will open or be knocked down?

The story that will never die.

My theory is that after the great cataclysm that aliens will visit here in say 5,000 years and Xanadu will be the only surviving structure on Earth...and it never opens.

Second post on the thread back in 2007.

Crazy stuff. I grew up 7 miles east on Rt. 3. I actually think I will take the kids when this opens up. I would certainly wait until the summer ot do it. Nothing like skiing in a swamp.

The kids will be no longer living with you when, if, it opens some day.

MarkC[/B]]Does anybody know when this project will be complete?

2008

Andy, you have typed two zeros, one of those zeros needs to be a '1' or '2'. 2018, 2028, 2108 or 2208 would seem to be right.

We all make mistakes, mine was listening to PR back then. I am wiser now and realize that even a '2' will not help. I wish I could get just 1% of the money wasted on this white elephant.

Judge green lights 'Xanadu' expansion- dismisses Jets/Giants lawsuit:

But wait....Judge "Doyne said the teams may revisit their suits, but only after plans for the new parks have been passed by the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority."
Being that the governor is committed to seeing it through, I suspect they won't be revisting anything & will work things out among themselves.

On a related note, every time I drive by this place & see the outside of the ski slope (like yesterday), I feel disappointed about all the years I could have been cruising around in there on hot summer days (like today) if only they had stuck to the original plan. :sad:

If they stuck to the original plan - you would've been bored with the place 2 years ago...

I still think skiing inside is pretty boring...
