Abandoned Six Flags, New Orleans, United States

The land, owned by the city of New Orleans, is currently leased to and operated by Six Flags. After Hurricane Katrina, Six Flags has sought to end its lease on the site. The owners claim the park must remain shut down as long as outstanding claims with insurance companies remain unsettled.
On September 18, 2009, the city of New Orleans fined Six Flags $3 million and ordered the park to vacate its lease. On August 18, 2009, it was announced that the land would be re-developed into a Nickelodeon-branded water/theme park. As of early 2010, the site is overgrown with debris and weeds. Removal of the debris and underbrush has now begun.
