Very cool video. Bit sad to see it fully abandoned. I visited that place in summer of 2000 when it first opened. If memory serves me right it was called Jazzland or something like that. Guess Six Flags must have bought it later on.

Astonishing to see all that abandoned. Too expensive to maintain, perhaps? Nice video.
It was closed eight days prior to Hurricane Katrina making landfall on August 29, 2005, and because of serious damage from flooding, the park never reopened.

Interesting images, thank you for sharing them. Looks like a fair amount of wind damage to many of the roofs, hurricane maybe?

Thanks for the background info. What a sad end to a great amenity.
