Once a vibrant amusement park, Six Flags New Orleans opened as Jazzland in 2000 but struggled financially. Acquired by Six Flags in 2002, it saw some improvements but was devastated by Hurricane Katrina in 2005. The park was submerged under floodwaters, causing extensive damage. Six Flags opted not to rebuild, leaving the park abandoned. Today, it stands as an eerie reminder of the hurricanes impact and a popular spot for urban explorers.
