Six Flags New Orleans Skycoaster Entrance After Hurricane Katrina

Skycoaster Gifts entrance at Six Flags New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina
The entrance to the Skycoaster Gifts shop at Six Flags New Orleans is visible, with a prominent red neon sign reading "SKYCOASTER" above the entrance and a smaller sign for "SKYCOASTER Gifts." A Coca-Cola advertisement is affixed to the blue stucco wall. This photograph was taken after Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans in 2005. The amusement park, which opened in 2003, suffered extensive damage from the storm and flooding, leading to its permanent closure. The image captures the state of the park's infrastructure in the aftermath of the disaster.
Photo taken in December 2009.
