    you know how everyone is supposed to have a "comfort youtube video" that you just always go back to? this is mine! i've watched this so many times over the years, i've learnt the commentary so i now talk along with the video :,) this will never ever get old and was actually the thing that got me into urban exploration, so thank you :)

      Same! I remember watching this video when it was new in 2011. I was about 12, and my friend and I would explore abandoned things in our town in Mississippi and always say “We’re gonna be like AdamTheWoo at Six Flags and explore this place”😂😂😂 when we would film it. I still enjoy seeing interesting abandon places today because of Adam and this video. I was at Six Flags Over Georgia about a month ago and all day I quoted this video saying “YEAHHHH SIX FLAGS” like Adam does when Ginger comes down the slide haha. I wish he could go back and do a comparison video today like he did with Nickelodeon Studios. Long live AdamTheWoo!!!

    I watched this video when I was about 9 or 10 years old, and it became a life long dream to see Six Flags New Orleans in person. I finally did it a couple days ago, safe, and got pictures. Didn’t go too far in because security was there. Thank you for starting this dream. Top life bucket list completed!! ❤

      +CherieArthur Unfortunately Katrina was Premier Park's scapegoat to dump the park as the company at the time was going through financial troubles and they already sold off most of their parks and Six Flags New Orleans was the next park to hit the chopping block as it was the least profitable after the others they sold off. The city of New Orleans tried to hold them to their fifty year agreement and use the insurance money collected by Premier Parks to rebuild. However they only got 32 million dollars when the cost to rebuild would cost way more than that as they'd have to replace most of the rides and buildings as all electrical things were ruined and water damage to the foundation of rides and buildings basically ruined everything left. They thought they'd have the park reopened in 2007 but of course that never happened.

      it's not worth it, all the rides are mechanically unstable. it costs a fortune to rebuild, such as an example, six flags KY kingdom shut down in 2010, and the park was dormant for a couple years until a new owner to reopened it in 2013.
      I myself seen it first hand, very bad decomposition with a quickness. shows how much mother nature can take over.

      I don't know if Six Flags would have the money to rebuild it, even if they wanted to. I went to Six Flags in Southern California recently, and it was one of the most sad/depressing and lifeless parks I've ever seen. They must be struggling big-time.

    Being a former Native of New Orleans. As a kid I love going to Slidell in the summer and going to Six Flags. This video gives me a bitter sweet feeling seeing the rides and remembering all the good times I had at that place. Also, kinda depressing seeing the shape it is in now and that it will never reopen.

      +EpisodeNevaeh〈3 Anything salvageable was taken. Six Flags lost miiiillions off the hurricane and probably tried to make back as much as they could. Having metal sit in salt water for a few weeks tends to totally mangle it. It's almost completely useless, and at the very least it's incredibly unsafe. Nobody would want it anyway. While some look dirty, rest assured they are just eaten away on the inside.

    Nothing more upsetting than seeing an abandoned Arcade :( I miss Arcades
    It is a shame to see everything that was made there, rides, stalls etc. Everything even down to the old locks on doors or something random on the floor. Some one put hard graft into every item at some point in time. From buildings to poles and concrete paths, every nut that was fastened and every nail hammered into a piece of wood was a collective effort to make something that would make people have so many fond memories.
    It's a shame to see it all just left there without care...

      I guess it's not 100% bad, since I guess people somehow need SOME place to put their graffiti. Plus, it makes a cool spot for adventurous photographers and videographers.

    • @TrololzillaOG
      @TrololzillaOG 9 лет назад +4

      Luka Megurine It would've cost far too much to warrant it, as the level of damage from the more than month-long submersion in salt- and rainwater and heavy wind damage made most of the things in the park unusable (as in all of the flat rides and the roller coasters (especially the wooden one) save one, plus all buildings were about 80% damaged). Combine that with the fact that it was Six Flags' least profitable park, you've got a recipe for continued abandonment.
      To be fair, they did remove as many salvageable items as possible and moved Batman: The Ride; it was the only roller coaster that was basically salvageable, as it was elevated and was corrosion-resistant.
