Mississippi's Backyard

Mississippi's Backyard (formerly known as TechEruo's Blazing Bayou from 1997-1999) and Blazing Bayou (2000) is an amusement and water park in Jackson, Mississippi owned by Carwardine Parks.

History
TechEruo, after the success of Blazing Acres, was about to build a second theme park resort, several locations were considered, but a location in Jackson, Mississippi was chosen due to the lack of coasters in the state (the only one being a children's coaster), after two years of work, the park opened on March 22nd, 1997. Up until 2000, when Mississippi Springs (Six Flags Mississippi Springs from 2002-2007) opened in, it was the only theme park in the state.

In 2015, Gator Chase: Second Hunt opened, being the first new attraction in the Magnolia Highway land since 2001, Magnolia Highway was not allowed to be expanded, as the designer of the original Gator Chase, Leland James, would terminate his contract with Carwardine Parks if they would expand the area, as it would remove the mystery of Gator Chase. However, he was fine with doing an RMC conversion, and even consulted on the project.
