But, Hell, I'll bet the Japanese must be damn jealous. They've been dreaming of something like this to happen to them for decades. We've managed to one up them. We need to follow through though, and waste no time in building NEO-ORLEANS. There will be people living in Hovering Shanties above the Toxic Gumbo!

They will rename the SuperDome, Thunderdome!

New Orleans was great, but I think NEO-ORLEANS will be fantastic!
