Skycoaster Gifts sold souvenirs near the park's Skycoaster swing ride, one of the attractions along the abandoned midway at Six Flags New Orleans. The park opened in 2003 on the site of the former Jazzland and closed permanently after Hurricane Katrina flooded the grounds in 2005. Ownership of the property later passed to the City of New Orleans, and the rides and buildings were left standing for years afterward.
