Six Flags New Orleans CLOSED

[SFaddiction84]

Wow, that is just unreal....its something no one expected

[punkbunny24242]

It's amazing how in those pictures some areas look completely untouched and others are tore apart.

Unreal... I agree.

Boomerang has already started to rust, it appears.

really from the pics everything exept the Super Loop On Top and polyp look just fine (exept for what is collapsed and whatnot, a few bandshells and light structure)

Also it's not rust, it's crap in the water staining the paint. Track/structure underwater is no different from a heavy rainstorm.

Biggest loss that I can see would be the maintaince shop. Other than that most stuff just needs to be powerwashed and dried out, along with routine maintaince that's needed whenever any ride sits idle for any period of time.

Though if worse comes to worse, I'd kill for SFGAm to pick up that Mondial Shake.

Honestly, if they dont get that water out of the park soon, the wood on the woodies is not only gonna be water damaged but probably enventually just collapse...dont ya think?

I think Six Flags should
just sell off the land and not have a park in NO.

Actually Six Flags doesn't own the park or the land. They just operate the park, thats it. The city owns the park which is leased and Six Flags couldn't buy the park because they had no money. What Six Flags can do is unflag the park and rip out the rides they added and the theming. It seems likely this park won't survive anyway. Just my thoughts......

[Jamesb58]

^^That's pretty true. I have no idea why Six Flags invested in
that park anyways. I think it just added to their debt, but, now that's
all out the window. I would expect for Six Flags to sell the rides and
abondon it.

Actaully, If i recall SFI does own that land in full now. They didn't originally, but by the time Katrina hit, they did have full control over the land. I could be wrong, but i might not be.

Well a lot of the people in New Orleans say that they're not moving back, so maybe SFNO can expand.

[twixmix0303]

Hmmm...the population is shrinking so let's expand?

[FParker185]

The woodie is steel structured, handles flooding fine, track is pressure treated, shouldnt be a problem.

But yeah, SF's best bet is to pull out their rides and close up or have the city find someone else to run the park. With all the rides from Astroworld and SFNO every single park Six Flags owns can get a pretty nice ride package, for just the cost of relocation/foundations at the new park.

SFGAm really could use a Mondial Shake, and if it doesnt suffer from being Italian and waterlogged get rid of King Chaos and stick the Super Loop On Top In it's place (actually the water is a lesser concern than it being an italian made ride, no sense taking out one mechanically difficult ride just to put an even more mechanically difficult ride)

A super looper would do great. But it should replace JWR, not KC.

[LaTiNoObSeSeDSFGAm]

Most of the parks damage looks really bad. Was SFNO a successful park? Because if it wasnt what do you think SF will do to it

If you see the pictures... theres a dog on the loose...What about the dog!!!

[greatamerica2003]

SELL IT!

[FParker185]

SFNO does not own the park, they just manage it. The city of New Orleans owns the land, and either the city or possibly banks/creditors/whoever manufactured the ride own the rides(seeing as S&S repossessed one of their towers there between the time New Orleands bought it and SF started running it) that were there before SF took over management. Jazzland was a disappointment from day one, it has never come anywhere near the expected annual attendance, which is why it didnt last very long at all before the original owners bailed on it, and the city of New Orleans bought it to try and save it.

That was Alabama Splash Adventures that S&S Removed a tower, Not Six Flags New Orleans/Jazzland

Sorry to be a jerk
