Abandoned in 2005 after Hurricane Katrina caused extensive damage, the park has been lying untouched in seriously poor condition ever since. No plans as of now exist to repair or even tear down the park. It just sits there, waiting for the next production company to want to use it for a horror movie.

Interesting that in picture 23, the tv monitor is on and working.

Can anyone just go inside?
Snooj
Those little jeeps with their flat tires make me so sad.

ELI5: why cant all that steel be recycled?
psuedodre
Just think of all the mosquitoes
FireKingMaj
that's some carn-evil type of shit right there
UnitsToNesquikGuy
I mean, yeah, I'd fuck a stranger there. It screams romance.
vladimirtheliberator
Is that Whispering Oaks?
zatgal
I've never seen the charm in exploring abandoned places until now. I desperately want to go there.
DrTacticalKeyboard
Do you want cholera? cus thats how you get cholera
nonamejanie
Is this because of Katrina?
ApeGforceman
Yes, that storm destroyed so much of our city. And no one ever thought to restore that place
ThatsWhatSheSed
Dude, anything can look creepy from the right camera angle and with the right filters
MADhouse64
Reminds me of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FGC-lvCWsrM "Grandma's Chicken Salad"
thiswasinevitable
it's true, I've been there. It's interesting, but not creepy. New Orleans can do creepy but this ain't it.
flamingcherry
I know a few photographers that have been robbed going in there. I'd like to see some unfiltered photos of it. I'm too chicken two go.
flamingcherry
To. Damnit.
adultishgambina
It's the L4D2 level

The Jokers favorite hangout...
DrMex
I could see it being the setting of one of the stories from r/nosleep.

Does anyone here know the filter or lense type used on #12 that gets those eerie pictures?
TrustMeIAmTheGovernment
It's post production/ photo shop
ManyarVeneres
(1/2) This is a type of photographic technique called HDR (High Dynamic Range). Basically, you take multiple pictures at different exposures
ManyarVeneres
(2/2) and then in post, combine them together. An algorithm takes the highlights from the underexposed and the darks from the overexposed.
butteredtoast789
thats definitely Amusement Mile in Gotham; even the damn mermaid shit
Stratego89
Why is it that every single abandoned place has every single piece of glass broken out... always...
TheClayKnight
Well in this case it was the whole "massive hurricane" thing.
Stratego89
Nah man. Even Katrina would have spared stuff like the TV screens inside the still-structurally-sound buildings. I think it's thugs moving
Stratego89
in after the place is abandoned and just breaking shit for no reason...
syntaxxor
Photographer's HDR wet dream.
GravyTrainOnBiscuitWheels
It was sold to the highest bidder for $5.5M, I'll be curious to see what they do with that dump. The surrounding area is pretty awful too
BeaverHunter
Well ya, being built below water level and all...
PaperFl0wers
Creepy af, but good photography
somethingfunnyandrandom
So strange to see this. I was there like 2 months before the hurricane
DrakeRamorayMD
I'm remembering going on each of the rides as I look at them
shimmernshine
They didn't really evacuate it; just closed on the day of the warning and never came back.
SirLyonhart
Six Flags' name was taken from the original park, Six Flags over Texas. A tribute to the 6 nations that Texas has been a part of. 1/2
lamelycanthrope
Spent a lot of my childhood in Texas & was confused to learn there were Six Flags parks in other states. Apparently franchises eluded me
SirLyonhart
My Dad took my brother and me on vacation trips. We did 6 Flags over Texas, Georgia, and St Louis in consecutive summers in the early 70's.
SirLyonhart
Spain, France, Mexico, the Republic of Texas, the United States, and the Confederate States of America. Aint trivia grand? 2/2
youseemlikeadecentfellow
Awesome place for airsoft imho
h0d0r
Fuck yea
MrKibbs
Holy fuck, I was like. Drain the water and have paintballing there. Just have people sign a safety waver cuz duck picking up all that shit.
rockstarjesus
I was just thinking the same thing.
JackOfAllTrades123
Was thinking the same thing would definitely go Airsoft there
Vatatheo
I would rather go paintballing here.
SharkoutofWata
And splatter everything with nasty ass crud? Ruins it for following events.
Vatatheo
I don't think it would degrade anything too bad, but I get what you're saying.

Brvtals
You mean I can get in? For FREE?!
saucefordipping29
But what about parking cost
JasonVarnado
Get robbed going in there.
Pr0xycast
Technically, you can get in for free everywhere
TriptychAngel
Yup! You can even get a free stab from the serial killer that lives there
Brvtals
KingZullu
Asked the same question when I found a dead hooker
SirLyonhart
And get arrested. No trespassing and they do prosecute.
TheClayKnight
Who monitors the area? And why?
MrSkar
I would assume Six Flags, and liability reasons.
dakotabeastman
Louisiana native here, NOPD patrols it occasionally. People try to sneak in to take pics and shoot footage which can be pretty unsafe.
TheClayKnight
I wish it was just a rule that if you trespass, the property owner isn't responsible for your safety. (Of course there are reasons that 1/2
TheClayKnight
Doesn't work.) 2/2
BeerCir
Looks like a level from Fallout.
boredomboredomboredom
It reminds me of that one map from mw2
SoggySawsage
quench you thirst for adventure at *ahem* heavily water damaged and extremely unsafe to explore abandoned sixflags park in louisiana!!!!!

I expected to see Agent 47.

Was thinking the same thing. INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY BETHESDA! Now we just need to stop those cars from clipping through the tracks.

Bethesda is more interested in bringing Skyrim to every device they can market it for

I wonder how cool cool zone really was. This also reminds me of Nuka world.
squirrelfury
It would have been heaven this time of year.
yourmotherwearscombatboots
It was just an area to get drinks and had misters all over the place.
JamesAHarrod
I could see a L4D2 movie being filmed there
HexDarkwood
You had the same thought I did! Or L4D RL Lazer tag experience.

I might be wrong but I think they were trying to Weasel their way out of a 90 year lease.
DaFunOne
They did get outta that lease in 2009, paying for 4 years for a park they couldn't use.
Psifonian
By sheer coincidence when Katrina hit they were also selling off parks en masse to avoid defaulting on loans from poor financial management
Psifonian
Poor timing indeed. Investing all that capital into a park to only use it for four years didn't exactly provide an incentive to rebuild.
