Is that part of Jacca, and what's left of her clothes as well, on the floor?
Yep! Perhaps it was a small opossum....Or maybe, what with my having grown up in a port city, perhaps it was a large wharf rat? Those things are HUGE and evil looking when they're in one piece! *Shudder!*
Yes! The colors here are nice and bright. They really have held up very well considering how long they've been exposed to the elements! Nice photo, Motts!
Umm...This one is not quite as cute as the last one, even if purple is my favorite color! : D
Aww...How cute! No wonder someone decided to take him home with them! : ))
Alright, Motts! A gallery from the deep South as promised! : ) I'm glad you had fun there. It's too bad that most people won't ever be able to have fun there again. : (
I am in awe of these photographs -- and of the almost superstitious quality that haunts them. I am a painter and would love to get in touch with the artist who took these. If willing, please email me at Richard.eyster@gmail.com. Thank you very much.

Given the price of carousel horses/animals they've probably been salvaged and repainted for use somewhere else.

This is the awareness ribbon for abandoned theme parks.

And as far as the coaster itself, HECK YES! I'd ride that, backwards, forward, suspended...it looks and sounds awesome.

I see a lot of salvageable parts, going to waste. Even if they took the parts, sold it off at scrap value its some income for NO and its not just rotting into the swamp.

Its surprising the city hasn't sold off the remaining stuff. Given the place is considered a total loss, some income would help the city, and things like Jocco, would help small-time haunted house attractions with good quality second hand props.
I agree that the musician panels should be salvaged. A great addition to a jazz club somewhere. Unfortunately, many insurance policies state that if you receive compensation for something as a 'total loss' you can't salvage it or reuse it. I'm sure the 6 Flags sharp pencil crew took the money and ran with it.

Wow. I didn't realize how much water fludded this area until i saw this picture- the surface was just below the light switch... I'm glad I've never lived such a flood were I live.
