Hello, Wikia Community Central. This blog was written just to share my experience, and it is not related to Wikia. I recently visited New Orleans, Louisiana on vacation. Perhaps the highlight of the trip was a visit to the abandoned Six Flags in the city that closed for Hurricane Katrina in 2005, and never reopened. Floodwaters rose 6 feet or more, and remained in the park for more than two weeks.
The Six Flags before the storm was struggling, and the $32.5 million in damage forced the company to close the park for good. Renewed interest has been mild, however, the idea of opening the park for business once again is simply a lost cause considering the deterioration and initial damage of the park. Enjoy the photos I took, and sorry for some of the photos that have pretty bad quality.
A theater in the park, the floor is unsafe to walk on and the projector screen is shredded badly.
A gutted retail shop. Sorry for the bad quality.
The entrance area. It has been blocked off, so we had to find other means of entry.
