Abandoned Theme Park

Howdy! New here...from Texas!

Firstly, I wanted to share some photos I took of Six Flags/Jazzland in New Orleans, LA. I went to add it to the database, but it says 'No, ma'am...click here.' So I clicked the link and it's dead...so, any pointers would be helpful as this location is not listed.

Either way...it was...AWESOME. Here's some photos! If you're interested in the history, here's the link to my blog post (http://td-photo.bl...es-eventually.html) that kind of talks about what happened and has more photos and such. Basically, Hurricane Katrina left the theme park under water for over a month and it was the least profitable park, so Six Flags (after the almighty dollar let it go to waste).

Thanks! ...I've always loved playing Napoleon! Buuuut, I'm a wee lass at barely over 5 feet and 115lbs. So, makes me easy prey for creepy bums and such...I don't get out exploring much unless I have someone intimidating to go with me to these places. :/ Hahaha.

First, welcome to UER.

Second, the reason you can't add Six Flags in New Orleans to the database is because it's already been in the database since 2007; you just can't see it because it's visibility is restricted to full members only, and best I can tell you're new, and therefore not a full member.

How to obtain full membership, you ask? hang around on UER, participate in the forums, be a good UE citizen (no tagging or vandalism), make constructive comments and generally be engaged with the goings-ons on UER, and sooner or later someone will recommend you for full membership. Then you'll get to see all the juicy locations in the datatbase that are blocked to you now!

Good luck and have fun!

When I say I'm 'clean and sober', it means I've showered and I'm headed to the liquor store.

Ah! Super. Thanks for the information...and thanks for the lovely comments. They were filming a movie there while we were mosey-ing around...and it was storming pretty bad. I wish I could have stayed longer and explored more.

I would love to see someone buy that theme park, not fix it up (any more than making it safe to walk around), add some new rides, & turn it into either a zombie-themed, or an apocalyptic-themed park

I think it would be amazing, & if I lived anywhere near there, I'd probably be tempted to do it myself XD

...that's a perfect idea! All the workers could be dressed like post-apocalyptic people or zombies, depending on your theme. I kept imagining Fallout 3 as I was walking around!

Excellent idea! I think it's been used for several films already, but with the current obsession with zombies...and I bet the city of new orleans would just love to get it off their hands, especially after Nagin tried so hard to force Six Flags to pay out their lease contract.

So, who has a few mil laying around?

Hahaha. Thanks for all the comments, y'all! They're currently filming the next Planet of the Apes there.

Like Imbroglio said, it's already on the database. There is SOOO much on that place. If anything you can do a search on it and it'll show you all the posts but as far as seeing the location, need FM first. You also need to explore with locals which also boosts your chance for FM.

Oh and welcome and love the pics! Contact me anytime, I would be up for exploring.
