Motts, always good to have a model that has nice curves to shoot, huh?

mica, that is dried grease from the snack stand. When this place flooded, the grease sat on top of the water, as the water level started to go down, the grease coated these trays & started to harden as time went by.

The water line on the mounted monitors, wow, it got high in here. All the CRT monitors, wow, things have changed so much. Now, flat is where it is at.

Oh, sorry Tony. At least there are other types of cakes out there you can still enjoy. ^_^

I posted a link to that, over in the forum section of this site, Freespirit. It was not this one, that one is over in Germany.

You can just imagine it, being on that ride & seeing the others in motion, hearing the laughing, screaming & chattering of the park, as it was being enjoyed.

What a perspective you caught here, Motts.

I posted a link to that, in the forum section of this site, Freespirit. It was the eeriest thing I have seen, an abandoned & powerless wheel, spinning & making the creepiest screeching sound I have ever heard.

In the show, Life After People, on the History Channel, they stated that sometimes, coasters like this had sand packed into the hollow steel tubes that the tracks were mounted on. If sea water breached the connection points, salt water sat in the insides & began to corrode the metal from the inside out.

The sand was there, inside to act as a shock absorber for the ride, to cut down on vibration as the cart ran the track. If indeed the joints were breached, the sand is most likely still damp with the water from Katrina & the coaster can no longer be safe to used again.

Motts, this has gotten worse, as time, weather & people have done far more damage than Katrina ever did to it. From the pictures I've seen, not much is left standing now, except a few letters from the Gotham City Hall sign.

Tony, is that directed at me? If so, do tell.

I bet this too, was a fun coaster to ride on. The title is fitting, as you do so about the fun that once was had on this.

I bet the ride on this was so much fun, now the only ride is the coasters, off into the sunset.

Six Flags captured the french quarter look well here. I wonder if during Mardi Gras time, Six Flags staff would hand out or toss beads here?

On the bottom posts, you can just make out where the water level got to in here. I bet the shows they put on in here, were fun & enjoyable. A nice place to come, see a show & rest, get out of the sun & heat for a little bit.

Here is great YouTube video of this place,

with some good music behind it. Enjoy.
