The abandoned theme park is the former Six Flags New Orleans. It closed just before hurricane Katrina hit in 2005. Like much of the city of New Orleans, the park sits below sea level and was flooded during the great storm. Efforts to rebuild it have failed to this day, but several movie productions have used it for locations, including documentaries Closed for Storm (2020) and New Orleans DIY (2016), and feature films Killer Joe (2011), Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters (2013), among others.
