Six Flags New Orleans is a 140-acre abandoned theme park in New Orleans, Louisiana that has been closed since Hurricane Katrina struck the state in August 2005. The park is located in New Orleans East, off Interstate 10. Despite various announced plans to redevelop the site, as of January 2018, it is still an abandoned amusement park in extremely poor condition.
