Abandoned Six Flags New Orleans Tour

Six Flags New Orleans was destroyed by Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
It has been abandoned ever since.
This film was made in October 2010 by Teddy Smith.
The park is scheduled to be demolished in January 2011.

It was submerged in 8-10 feet of water for over a month after Hurricane Katrina passed through. They might not look damaged, but most of the rides' internal framework was destroyed by the floodwater. I think only one ride was removed, a Batman themed coaster, and re-located. The park has not been demolished as of yet, but was used for the set of a Percy Jackson film last year. I read that they were able to get several of the rides temporarily operational for the filming.

It's kind of weird. I was reading Hamlet in class and there's the one famous scene in Hamlet where he's holding the skull of Yorick, the royal Jester. During this scene he talks about the life Yorick once had and what was left of him now. So when the ride "The Jester" comes up in this clip at 5:25 it's kind of weird as it almost brings out the same meaning. That death comes to us all and even the places where we enjoyed life will fade in time. This video is depressing.

They didn't reopen because it wasn't very profitable compared to other six flags

Spree park (Berlin) is a whole lot freakier and more exciting to actually go in. I heard u actually have to break in the park and it looks more fun to play around with ur friends

I live where this park is. This park used to be the most Awesomest place that I have ever been to. It closed because of Hurricane Katrina. The most deadliest Hurricane ever. We will miss you six flags ;(
