Originally Jazzland and then Six Flags New Orleans, this beautiful amusement park closed when Hurricane Katrina flooded it.

These pictures are so cool. Like many, I’ve always wanted to poke around #SixFlagsNola, but was too scared of what I would find 😬

Thanks so much, I'm glad you enjoy them. It is a pretty spectacular place, but I also don't blame you for being uneasy about going there

The latest episode of the Abandoned America podcast dropped today, and it's a wild one. In it I talk about the brief life and protracted death of the Six Flags New Orleans theme park with Jake Williams, director of the recent documentary about it, "Closed For Storm". If you want to know how a whole 220-acre theme park could be left in ruins for nearly a decade, here's your episode!

These are phenomenal photos. I like roller coasters, but climbing to the top of a wooden coaster that's been abandoned for years after Katrina is an absolute "No effing way" from me, so I commend you on your bravery in service of getting a great shot.
