Eastern New Orleans was badly flooded in 2005 in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.
After the park's drainage pumps failed during the storm, overflow from Lake Pontchartrain caused by Katrina's massive storm surge, submerged the entire park grounds to a depth of 4--7 feet. The floodwater was not drained for over a month. Damage reports by Six Flags inspectors stated that the park buildings are 80% demolished.
With no desire by the company to undertake the cost of rebuilding—Six Flags went into negotiations with the City of New Orleans to make an early exit from the 75-year lease which Six Flags entered into on the property. Mayor Ray Nagin said he planned to hold Six Flags to the lease agreement. Six Flags determined the value of assets destroyed by the storm at $32.5 million. 2011 and it remains the same, alligators and snakes have the run of the park.
