Six Flags New Orleans is a favorite of urban explorers after its 2005 abandonment. In the 15+ years.

Editor's Note: The site is not open to the public and is patrolled by the New Orleans Police Department who will arrest trespassers.

As recent at 2020 the old entrance sign to the park displays the message 'Closed for Storm"

These thrill-seekers visited during the 2020 pandemic. Their video shows that despite the ravage of time, the heat and humidity of New Orleans and graffiti vandals, there is still plenty of infrastructure to the park, including rides they can still hop in.

Just how serious is security at the site? The Google Maps Street View Car met this guard when attempting to map a road paralleling Interstate 510 that provided access to the park.
