Abandoned Six Flags New Orleans Tour

Six Flags New Orleans closed as Hurricane Katrina approached in 2005 and has never reopened. The sign outside the park still announces that it's 'Closed For Storm.'

The theme park was in New Orleans' Ninth Ward, one of the hardest hit areas during Katrina and the flooding after the storm. Though many of the rides still stand, Six Flags says that saltwater from the flood has corroded them to the point that they cannot be saved. Louisiana photographer Teddy Smith shot this video in October, with permission from the City of New Orleans.
