this is correct. NJ Governor Chris Christie has publicly stated that this needs to happen before the Super Bowl and is willing to pledge a portion of the $800M its going to cost to finish the job, provided that a new developer steps in.

Im pretty sure theyre trying to get it done by the super bowl. I drive by the meadowlands all the time and the whole place is built, so it would be a fucking huge waste to abandon it now after like 5 years and millions of dollars have been spent

if they have a park this place would come up so clutch during the summer especially since its less than an hour away from westchester

Have fun stuffing a half pipe in there.  I imagine it could be alright since there won't be the daily thaw/freeze cycle of a typical halfpipe.

Moguls would be sick. Watch, a skier is gonna show up to ride the park and they're gonna be like "skiers can get extreme in the halfpipe too? NO WAY BRO!11!!11!1one!!!1"

that just looks dumb, like do they really expect for this to work, and generate money? Looks like a big money pit to me. Although, I would be more than stoked on this opening, just looks a little too crazy to be true.
