Six Flags New Orleans is an amusement park in New Orleans, Louisiana that has been closed since just before Hurricane Katrina struck in 2005 and is currently owned by the city of New Orleans. The park is located in Eastern New Orleans, in the Ninth Ward of the city off Interstate 510. Despite various announced plans to reopen or reuse the site, as of April 2013 it is still an abandoned amusement park in a semi-ruined state. It is an urban exploration destination, although visitors are subject to arrest for trespass.

Famous quotes containing the word flags:
“The flags are natures newly found.
Rifles grow sharper on the sight.
There is a rumble of autumnal marching,
From which no soft sleeve relieves us.
Fate is the present desperado.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
