Pavilions and Ferris Wheel Along the Midway at Six Flags New Orleans
Taken December 2009
Six Flags New Orleans opened in 2000 as Jazzland before Six Flags acquired the park a year later. Built on low-lying land in eastern New Orleans near Lake Pontchartrain, the site sat under several feet of floodwater for weeks after Hurricane Katrina made landfall in August 2005. Six Flags terminated its lease with the city in the years that followed, and the property has remained closed ever since, with rides like its Ferris wheel and drop tower left standing in place. New Orleans officials have periodically floated redevelopment plans for the roughly 140-acre site, but as of this the park's structures were still intact and abandoned.
