On August 25, 2005, Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast of the United States. After the storm, it was estimated that 80% of New Orleans was under water.
One of the eeriest and long-standing reminders of Katrina is the abandoned Six Flags in New Orleans East.
After the floodwaters receded, what was left of the amusement park was a wasteland, though it has become a popular attraction for brave urban explorers.

The park, which spans 140 acres, has been abandoned since Hurricane Katrina hit in August 2005.
Originally called Jazzland, the park opened in 2000, but was acquired by Six Flags in 2003 and renamed Six Flags New Orleans (SFNO).

SFNO takes inspiration from its location — including areas based on the famous architecture of the French Quarter.
