Abandoned in 2005 after Hurricane Katrina caused extensive damage, the park has been lying untouched in seriously poor condition ever since. No plans as of now exist to repair or even tear down the park. It just sits there, waiting for the next production company to want to use it for a horror movie.

Interesting that in picture 23, the tv monitor is on and working.

I've never seen the charm in exploring abandoned places until now. I desperately want to go there.

Do you want cholera? cus thats how you get cholera

I mean, yeah, I'd fuck a stranger there. It screams romance.

ELI5: why cant all that steel be recycled?
FireKingMaj

Snooj
Those little jeeps with their flat tires make me so sad.
butteredtoast789
thats definitely Amusement Mile in Gotham; even the damn mermaid shit
adultishgambina
It's the L4D2 level
JamesAHarrod
I could see a L4D2 movie being filmed there
HexDarkwood
You had the same thought I did! Or L4D RL Lazer tag experience.

Creepy af, but good photography
GravyTrainOnBiscuitWheels
It was sold to the highest bidder for $5.5M, I'll be curious to see what they do with that dump. The surrounding area is pretty awful too
BeaverHunter
Well ya, being built below water level and all...
ThatsWhatSheSed
Dude, anything can look creepy from the right camera angle and with the right filters
thiswasinevitable
it's true, I've been there. It's interesting, but not creepy. New Orleans can do creepy but this ain't it.

Reminds me of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FGC-lvCWsrM "Grandma's Chicken Salad"
flamingcherry
I know a few photographers that have been robbed going in there. I'd like to see some unfiltered photos of it. I'm too chicken two go.
flamingcherry
To. Damnit.
ConfessionBare
Can anyone just go inside?
DrMex
I could see it being the setting of one of the stories from r/nosleep.
vladimirtheliberator
Is that Whispering Oaks?
somethingfunnyandrandom
So strange to see this. I was there like 2 months before the hurricane
DrakeRamorayMD
I'm remembering going on each of the rides as I look at them
shimmernshine
They didn't really evacuate it; just closed on the day of the warning and never came back.
TheWholeOfOneZombie
I wonder how cool cool zone really was. This also reminds me of Nuka world.
squirrelfury
It would have been heaven this time of year.
yourmotherwearscombatboots
It was just an area to get drinks and had misters all over the place.
SirLyonhart
Six Flags' name was taken from the original park, Six Flags over Texas. A tribute to the 6 nations that Texas has been a part of. 1/2
SirLyonhart
Spain, France, Mexico, the Republic of Texas, the United States, and the Confederate States of America. Aint trivia grand? 2/2
lamelycanthrope
Spent a lot of my childhood in Texas & was confused to learn there were Six Flags parks in other states. Apparently franchises eluded me
SirLyonhart
My Dad took my brother and me on vacation trips. We did 6 Flags over Texas, Georgia, and St Louis in consecutive summers in the early 70's.
nonamejanie
Is this because of Katrina?
ApeGforceman
Yes, that storm destroyed so much of our city. And no one ever thought to restore that place
psuedodre
Just think of all the mosquitoes
VoxDawg
That had to be one gigantic, motherfucking write-off...
ken27238
I might be wrong but I think they were trying to Weasel their way out of a 90 year lease.
DaFunOne
They did get outta that lease in 2009, paying for 4 years for a park they couldn't use.
Psifonian
By sheer coincidence when Katrina hit they were also selling off parks en masse to avoid defaulting on loans from poor financial management
Psifonian
Poor timing indeed. Investing all that capital into a park to only use it for four years didn't exactly provide an incentive to rebuild.
Brvtals
You mean I can get in? For FREE?!
saucefordipping29
But what about parking cost
Pr0xycast
Technically, you can get in for free everywhere
KingZullu
Asked the same question when I found a dead hooker
TriptychAngel
Yup! You can even get a free stab from the serial killer that lives there
Brvtals
JasonVarnado
Get robbed going in there.
SirLyonhart
And get arrested. No trespassing and they do prosecute.
TheClayKnight
Who monitors the area? And why?
MrSkar
I would assume Six Flags, and liability reasons.
dakotabeastman
Louisiana native here, NOPD patrols it occasionally. People try to sneak in to take pics and shoot footage which can be pretty unsafe.
TheClayKnight
I wish it was just a rule that if you trespass, the property owner isn't responsible for your safety. (Of course there are reasons that 1/2
TheClayKnight
Doesn't work.) 2/2
youseemlikeadecentfellow
Awesome place for airsoft imho
h0d0r
Fuck yea
JackOfAllTrades123
Was thinking the same thing would definitely go Airsoft there
rockstarjesus
I was just thinking the same thing.
Vatatheo
I would rather go paintballing here.
SharkoutofWata
And splatter everything with nasty ass crud? Ruins it for following events.
Vatatheo
I don't think it would degrade anything too bad, but I get what you're saying.
DemonkingDan
Real guns, 1 life execution rules, no snipers or shotguns

I expected to see Agent 47.

SoggySawsage
ask the bald homless guy in the striped suit and glasses.

Was thinking the same thing. INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY BETHESDA! Now we just need to stop those cars from clipping through the tracks.

Bethesda is more interested in bringing Skyrim to every device they can market it for

Does anyone here know the filter or lense type used on #12 that gets those eerie pictures?
TrustMeIAmTheGovernment
It's post production/ photo shop
ManyarVeneres
(1/2) This is a type of photographic technique called HDR (High Dynamic Range). Basically, you take multiple pictures at different exposures
ManyarVeneres
(2/2) and then in post, combine them together. An algorithm takes the highlights from the underexposed and the darks from the overexposed.
Stratego89
Why is it that every single abandoned place has every single piece of glass broken out... always...
TheClayKnight
Well in this case it was the whole "massive hurricane" thing.
Stratego89
Nah man. Even Katrina would have spared stuff like the TV screens inside the still-structurally-sound buildings. I think it's thugs moving
Stratego89
in after the place is abandoned and just breaking shit for no reason...
