Mooneyhan Entertainment Group to make Jax entertainment center?

[copperfiend]

Mooneyhan promised the same thing ten years ago in Nashville. Never built. Reminds me of the "Monorail" episode of the Simpson. Hopefully the city learned from it's dealing with crooks like Cameron Kuhn.

lol I thought of the monorail episode too! Hollywood Holographic museum? It's some over the top stuff

LMAO!!!  I can't believe anyone can consider what's shown on that cartoonish youtube video as a realistic proposal.  So the Prime Osborn, JRTC, Shipyards and JEA sites are going to become a gigantic movie complex with a bunch of suburban hotels surrounding them?  A 3,500 space monster of a parking garage on river?  So much for connecting the Northbank riverwalk to Metropolitan Park.  To top it off, they're going to put a train on FEC's main line with hourly service to connect their studio parks together?  Hell, why not add a ferris wheel in the middle of the St. Johns River along with a space port in the Landing's courtyard, while we're at it.

LOL in that youtube video that guy has plans to replace half of DT with his madness.  Where did this guy come from anyway?  Does he live locally?  Does he have billions to pull this off?  LOL pretty much sums this up.

I wouldn't assume it's dead yet at all. An international architect firm has their project design samples on their website, so it appears to be very much alive, but obviously pending funding and launching.

Link?

I'm assuming this is it.

Which means absolutely nothing.  Tons of architecture, planning and graphics firms put unbuilt work up on their sites to show what they are capable of.  That's just marketing.

This thing is beyond hilarious. It's like some crazy person spent an afternoon doodling buildings on google maps with sketchup. I'm not exactly sure how anyone could see it any other way. The intro to that video is a tape recording of the intro playing on a tv or monitor and the rest of it has the design of a 70's instructional video. It's like if you ask an 8 year old boy what his dream car is and he starts rattling off stuff like laser beams and rocket launchers and fighting dinosaurs in outer space.

That "plan" basically turns the entire city into some kind of tourist trap. Maybe it's good that money doesn't grow on trees for people to just build whatever they want. 

[copperfiend]

I used to do stuff like this in Sim City all the time.

[fsujax]

This whole thing is nonsense!

[Anti redneck]

Mr. Mooneyhan, get it done. Please!!! This would be Jacksonville's big break!!!

[blizz01]

This thread is like a bad penny...

[Timkin]

Tarnished, old, and not much retail value

[JeffreyS]

Oh what nice chuckle for me when I noticed this thread had been bumped.

[Anti redneck]

Truthfully I don't see why this would be a bad idea. If he's not asking for fronting the money, then go for it. What's the big deal?
