Six Flags New Orleans as of Nov. 2011

Talk about anything that has to do with the amusement park industry here.

Nevermind the assclowns that shot this footage. Figured some might want to see what the park looks like recently.

I finally retired the Sarah Palin signature because she is now 100% irrelevant.

I know it's very unlikely, but if they did anything to get this park back open, I'd take a visit. Even if they made organized tours to visit the abandoned park without doing it illegally, I'd do it.

This park is so epic now. There're tons and tons of images and videos out now that showcase just how perfect this place would've been for filming Zombieland, or even filming a straight up horror film. Or using it for paintball or a FPS video game.

To be honest, I think some of the Flickr image galleries out there are more exciting than some of these videos. Being in that park at night would be insane.

Wow…
I just read the little blurb on Wikipedia regarding the sequel and my reaction was, "yuck, 3D? A TV series? What's with these gimmicks?"
And I don't think it would be easy to utilize the park unless they wanted to just redo the entire 2nd half of the movie. Only thing I'm looking forward to now is Emma Stone :S

I can't be the only one hoping for a ride to fall apart on those two.

Considering the park is owned by the city and they are currently doing jack-all with it, they probably wouldn't lose much by operating a tour-based system at the park and market it as a joint creepy ghost town exhibit/Katrina educational talk.

Clearly looking at the number of views on these videos they would have an public to market it to.

Don't know if you guys know, but SFNO was featured in an episode of Discovery's "Sons of guns". They were making fake guns for a movie.

Hmm... it was a 2011 indie thriller, "The Courier". Apparently it didn't show in many theaters, if any; it was just submitted to film festivals and such.

A tour of an abandoned theme park would be awesome! I'd totally do that.
Every jumbled pile of person has a thinking part that wonders what the part that isn't thinking, isn't thinking of.

Well this proved UE camwhores are as bad as theme park camwhores. Meh.

Still want to hit this someday; I regret never making it to Idora or Chippewa Lake.
