Really scary. It sounds like a Stephen King story…
Amazing that it is allowed to leave things like that..here in Sweden that would have been impossible ….What a terrible waste..of money and nature..
The damage was done by Hurricane Katrina in 2024.
Numerous collections of pictures of this amusement park, Six Flags New Orleans, can be found on the web.
How eerie. The clowns especially.
Janne, about 2,000 people died and one of the largest port cities in the world was under water. Cleaning up the amusement park is not at the top of the priorities list.
Honestly, the pictures of the place would be perfect for a post-apocalyptic film (one of the shots has a sign that says “Welcome to Zombieland”, which honestly, I could actually see this place being used in a zombie movie).
A short film was made about the park about a year ago that I had seen. As a former resident of New Orleans and a one-time visitor of the park, the tone of the video really reflects my sadness from the storm and is an appropriate accompaniment to these images.
