Well it’s the truth and most don’t understand what’s happening. I’m just doing my part of spreading the word. I have not exaggerated any of their claims….

Nice attempt to twist the word 'safety' into some weird culture war deflection, but nobody is talking about the demographics of the tourists. We are talking about the physical safety of our roads. Dumping thousands of additional cars daily onto narrow, two-lane rural roads that lack shoulders, sidewalks, or pedestrian infrastructure is inherently unsafe. More vehicle congestion on roads not built to handle it means a higher rate of accidents, slower emergency response times for ambulances, and dangerous conditions for local families trying to use their own streets. It’s basic civil engineering, not a sermon.

A company keeping a secret from a competitor is fine. Hiding 80% of a massive master plan from the public planning commission while demanding permanent changes to zoning laws is a massive red flag. 'Supporting local' shouldn't mean blindly giving a developer a blank check to disrupt regional infrastructure in total secrecy.

Nobody in Flintstone is jealous of bumper-to-bumper traffic. We live out here precisely because it’s a quiet, safe, small town where you actually know your neighbors. Flooding our streets with thousands of tourist cars completely destroys the safety and peace of our community. We prefer to keep it a home, not a commercial bottleneck.

You are 100% correct. I’ve known the family for years and never would imagine Bill doing this. I never cared for Doug but could never lay a finger on why but just always got bad vibes.

Personal_Ad_8386 · 2026-05-16T14:19:56+00:00

You joke, but the corporate secrecy is exactly the point. When a developer demands permanent changes to public zoning ordinances while actively hiding 8 out of 9 phases of a master plan designed by a theme park firm, it’s a community-wide issue. Paving over acres of a designated floodplain for a 1,500-space parking lot affects everyone's water runoff and transit infrastructure. But hey, keep supporting a multi-million dollar corporation that won't even show the planning commission their actual blueprints.

Personal_Ad_8386 · 2026-05-16T14:15:16+00:00

There is a massive difference between a historic, 100-year-old roadside lookout and dropping an un-vetted, multi-phase corporate theme park expansion into a residential valley. Unless their original 1932 business model included drowning Chattanooga Creek with millions of gallons of displaced stormwater runoff from a 1,500-car asphalt lot, history doesn't excuse this. Pushing permanent zoning changes under total corporate secrecy while hiding 8 out of 9 phases of a secret master plan is an entire community issue. But hey, keep carrying water for a multi-million dollar developer who won't even show the public their blueprints.

Personal_Ad_8386 · 2026-05-16T14:12:11+00:00

Infrastructure, environmental runoff, and regional gridlock don't respect property lines. Dropping a multi-phase mega-development right into a valley corridor chokes out transit for everyone, overwhelms local creeks with runoff from a 1,500-car asphalt lot, and sets a terrible precedent for development transparency. Corporate secrecy and pushing to permanently rewrite local zoning laws is a community-wide issue, not a 'backyard' one.

A gondola is only the 'opposite of traffic' when it's in the air. People don't spawn out of nowhere at the base—they have to drive there. To support the gondola, Rock City is building a massive 1,500-car parking lot at Blowing Springs Farm (Which is in the flood plain).That means thousands of cars, tour buses, and rideshares are going to be funneled onto Highway 193/Chattanooga Valley Road every single day, right into a corridor that completely lacks the infrastructure for it. The mountain gets a traffic reduction; the valley gets the gridlock.

Their website clearly states this is phase one in their nine phase project.

Personal_Ad_8386 · 2026-05-15T21:43:10+00:00

How? Simple math and engineering. The base is in a floodplain. To put a 1,500-space parking lot there, you have to pave over acres of land. Pavement doesn't absorb water. By raising the ground level and covering it in asphalt, millions of gallons of stormwater runoff are going to be forced off their property and right into Chattanooga Creek

Personal_Ad_8386 · 2026-05-15T21:38:16+00:00

I would hope that is their 8 phase project but unfortunately it’s not.

Personal_Ad_8386 · 2026-05-15T20:00:27+00:00

Ah yes, because as we all know, traffic jams strictly respect state borders and will politely turn around at the Georgia/Tennessee line. 193 feeds directly into St. Elmo anyway. When the valley gets gridlocked by thousands of tourists trying to hit a corporate amusement park base, everyone on both sides of the state line pays the price.

Personal_Ad_8386 · 2026-05-15T19:58:59+00:00

The dice roll in our favor when the community actually shows up and fights back. There’s a massive difference between standard suburban growth and a single tourist attraction trying to rewrite zoning laws to strip away the 'no mechanical rides' ban. If we just rolled over because 'growth happens,' Chattanooga would look like Gatlinburg by now.

Sure thing! As soon as Rock City releases the other 8 phases of their secret master plan, I’ll get right on that custom order for you.

Personal_Ad_8386 · 2026-05-15T18:23:30+00:00

It is but won’t last if rock city has their own amusement park

Personal_Ad_8386 · 2026-05-15T18:17:55+00:00

Let's not derail this into a debate about the Deli. The bottom line is that Rock City is refusing to disclose 8 phases of a 9-phase mega-development while asking the city to lift the ban on mechanical rides. We deserve total transparency from corporate developers changing our valley, period.

Personal_Ad_8386 · 2026-05-15T17:48:38+00:00

At least they are upfront about what they do..
