Screams of fear mixed with enjoyment, the smell of overpriced greasy food, and a tired mom being dragged by the hand to go stand in line for a ride that will last a few minutes. Amusement parks are a place some look forward to going to every summer. Anyone who has worked at one knows that a "quite day" is something only dreamed about. Or maybe not. What is all the commotion and energy of the park was just gone? This brings up to our places of the week: The Six Flags of New Orleans.
Along with homes, lives, dreams, and entire towns, Hurricane Katrina also took the life and sprit of the Six Flags in New Orleans. As seen in image A, the hurricane drowned the entire park for days. Flooded and wrecked, the park never reopened.

Now the park serves an entirely new purpose. Instead of drawing the attention of families and kids, it now sucks in the souls of explores and photographers. The park is illegal to visit, as it is "dangerous" although that subject has been debated plenty of times. Enjoy a few of the pictures taken by those who took the risk in order to feed others adventurous minds.

ReplyDeleteThe reason I wrote about this place was because I love abandoned theme parks. It's so cool to see hoe "dead' they are when they were once so alive! There was no difficulty writing this post. the purpose of it was to show people what can happen to something so popular by just a single devastating event.
