I recently saw that the Six Flags New Orleans demolition date was finally announced, after almost 20 years. This was the one last chance I'd have to go fly the abandoned amusement park, I HAD to take it.

If CCI was still around they could’ve used the “our coaster structurally survived one of the worst hurricanes” as a selling point. I mean a hurricane and 20 years of absolutely no maintenance. Truly impressive engineering.

I just took the family this past weekend. It wasn't crowded which was great but no rides were open. 0 out of 5 stars. Will not return.

For well over 10 years, this property intrigued me. Wonderful aerial footage of the place as a final archive before it’s fully gone. Crazy to think Hurricane Katrina was so long ago at this point

I live near New Orleans, I plan on going soon to just drive by. It’s sad that the city let it sit for so long after almost 20 years of issues. The company that has leased out the land is Bayou Phoenix. They are supposed to build movie studios, recreational sport fields, hotels, family entertainment center, indoor/outdoor waterpark, shops and dining. It will probably be a while before it’s completed though

My mom is from New Orleans and i have extended family that survived Katrina When my younger cousin and her family came to stay with us in North Alabama after they evacuated at the last minute because it was literally the day before that the news broke that Katrina was heading straight for New Orleans, it hit her like a freight train, my mom and aunt were glued to the TV and i had to console my 6 year old cousin who was endlessly sobbing at her home possibly being destroyed, the safety of her friends and seeing the park that she loved to go to be completely submerged in water along with the then New Orleans Hornets arena, her friends all survived as they had evacuated and their home was still standing despite the roof being blown off but because of the exposure to the elements, the mold had gotten so bad that it still had to be torn down and rebuilt My uncle stayed behind to assist in search and rescue and i don't know how, but he was able to get a piece of film from the Spongebob Ride from Six Flags New Orleans and i still have it to this very day framed on my wall 2-3 years before we had talks of my mom going back down to visit and taking me to Six Flags NOLA but unfortunately that never happened

It’s so sad what happened to this place, I’ve always wanted to go and see this place in person but now I’ll never get the chance. There’s no chance of another theme park being developed in that space again because it would be way too expensive to redevelop that land. It’s crazy how quickly a natural disaster can take out a place like that. It was closed for the weekend never to be opened again. Tragic

The roller coaster footage was amazing as was flying it in one window and out the other. Exceptional work 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

The way nature has reclaimed this park more and more , year after year, is fascinating yet sad. A amusement park is meant to bring smiles to peoples faces and instead it sits silent and abandoned all while rotting away. A new forest has basically grown around the rides with other parts of the park under water. It is returning to the swamp.

Ya know a year ago I was down there for work and as I think I do remember seeing roller coasters off that road, without signage I thought it was just some local park and didn’t know it was a six flags.

While relocating from southern California to New Hampshire in 05 I took my kids to that park weeks before the hurricane struck there. It was an Ok park seeing how it had a roller coaster past operation wise. Sad, it could not come back. Farewell.

I always wondered if they could save and relocate that big coaster. But it was probably badly salt water damaged anyway, and now its been almost 20 years.

The electronics, air lines, pumps and motors are trashed and would have to be replaced along with a lot of the wood. The galvanized metal structure is in good shape. The footers it sat in were dug deeper than normal seeing it was in a wet area. Therefore it hasn't settled much, if any. It's a shame another park didn't buy it and move it. It was a fun ride.

I read some articles on the future of the site. It's set for demolition in October. Plans for the site include a water park, a hotel and a sports complex. I'm surprised that it took this long since the site was sold to come up with a new use for it. It makes me curious of what the site will look like once construction is finished.
@OutdoorsWithShawn
@OutdoorsWithShawn 14 дней назад
The city owned it up until recently under a subsidiary called IDB. There was a company trying to revive the park probably 10yrs ago with solid plans, money and other financial backers for the project. But the city gave them nothing but red tape. It still bumfounds me why the city didn't want to sell it to them. It was almost like some sort of tax evasion or fraudulent scheme.

@CYCO1631

Probably take at least 400 million dollars to build it back to what it was. A single B&M Hypercoaster runs upwards of $25 Mil just for 1 ride. Plus, ensuring a park that's literally being rebuilt in a flood zone... Six Flags/Premier Parks won't touch it.
@OutdoorsWithShawn

Given the state of New Orleans today, not many would go to it these days. That area of town is a borderline ghost town and isn't all that safe. They had issues even when the park was open 20yrs ago.
