Abandoned Six Flags -errie by cool pics

[mr2mike]

New Orleans has come a long way since Hurricane Katrina.
But at the old Six Flags Jazzland amusement park, which was abandoned after the massive 2005 storm, there's a whole lot of creepiness and no clear sign of recovery.

Or this abandoned ski resort:
The resort, which earned a place in ski history when it became the first place to make artificial snow, hasn't welcomed any guests since it shut its doors in 1986.

That would be insane to do a shoot at any of those places!

That's pretty damn cool. I wonder what it would take to restore either of those.

If you read into it on the wiki or whatnot there is a group that wants to buy it to rebuild/expand it. Pretty interesting park though and the photos are always so eerie.


On January 21, 2011, SSA went public with its redevelopment plans for the park, posting a link on its website. On January 26th, 2011, SSA posted a Letter of Intent for the park on its website. The redevelopment plans give a brief history of the property, pre and post- Katrina condition photos, development concept photos, written descriptions of each phase of the redevelopment procedure, and business projections for when it opens. During "Phase I," SSA plans on restoring what is left of the park, as well as expanding upon it by adding more rides and reverting the park back to its original Louisiana theme. The park will be revamped to reflect Louisiana's history and heritage, with one of the proposed sections paying tribute to the now defunct Pontchartrain Beach Park, which closed in 1983. "Phase II" entails adding a water park and future expansion phases include adding a youth sports complex, an on-site hotel/resort, and a movie studio/backlot that would cater to the needs of production companies filming in the N.O. area. Plans also include developing an entertainment and shopping district within the park. These plans do entail utilizing all 224 acres of the site of which only 100 acres are developed and occupied by the remains of the park. The Letter of Intent from SSA simply hashes out a lease agreement between the city and SSA, stating SSA's proposed terms of the lease and its intent for utilizing and restoring the area. SSA will enter a 75-year lease and take on the property in its current condition. SSA plans to take possession of the property prior to the establishment of the lease in order to provide preliminary security and repair/cleanup services. The lease will not take effect until SSA has taken possession of the property, started the cleanup process, and provided proof of funding to the city. After that, the city has 15 days to execute its end of the agreement. Any and all improvements made will belong to SSA and the lease will end in the year 2085. Both documents can be found in full on SSA's website.
