Nice angle! I hate heights, so I can only go so far up. That's pretty close there!

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.

I did manage to sneak inside the real Orpheum, but someone was in there moving stuff around, so I only managed to pop off one shot of the stage... ah well.
Someone needs to rescue that gorgeous ride! Do anything with it except let it fall to rot and ruin.
Bobo I believe so. On the long exposures they look like streaks...so cool!
This loss was not because no one showed up there tho, or because the owners walked away. There was just no recovering from Katrina. Most of NO was under water for a long long time just like the park. So we can blame this one on Mother Nature at her very worst. Really sucks actually!
For some reason, these are unsettling..like they dropped down out of the ceiling to "get" you.
LOL @ LucieLou. Smart girl there!
But Katrina was also known for her wind speeds - I would have thought they would have been torn off those railings.

I was stationed with the Air Force at Keesler AFB, Biloxi, Mississippi when Camille hit...never ever want to go through another hurricane. I have seen the damage those winds can do.
The chains are not even rusted! They are shiny as the day they were hung. Someone does need to rescue this beauty.
