Abandoned Swing Ride and Ferris Wheel at Six Flags New Orleans
Taken December 2009
The swing ride at Six Flags New Orleans has stood untouched since Hurricane Katrina flooded the park with several feet of saltwater in August 2005. The park, then known as Jazzland before Six Flags acquired it in 2002, never reopened; ownership reverted to the city of New Orleans, which has left the grounds largely intact for two decades. A Ferris wheel and a wooden roller coaster remain visible nearby, part of the same abandoned midway.
