The location is ridiculous for a theme park. Maybe not economically, but sweet Jesus New York would look like Las Vegas with giant ferris wheels and roller coasters on the footsteps.

If you ask me, Governor's Island should be something for New York, specifically, not some theme park you could drop in any city on Earth. Public access is necessary on all counts. Retail, tastefully sized residential and retail and education would all be great, much like Metropolis' idea. But, if you ask me, a 2015 World's Fair could really be amazing, and is by far my favourite idea for a project that would be creative, innovative, handsome, provide tourism, and be respectful to not only the aethestics of the city but the residents.
