<P> Six Flags New Orleans ( SFNO ) is a 140 - acre , abandoned theme park in New Orleans , Louisiana that has been closed since Hurricane Katrina struck the state in August 2005 . It is owned by the Industrial Development Board ( IDB ) of New Orleans . Six Flags had leased the park from 2002 until 2009 when the lease was terminated during its bankruptcy proceedings . The park is located in New Orleans East , off Interstate 10 . Despite various announced plans to redevelop the site , as of September 2017 , it is still an abandoned amusement park in extremely poor condition . The site is owned and maintained by IDB . The site has 24 - hour security and trespassers are prosecuted . Videos and photos of the site have surfaced over the years from thrill - seekers . This encouraged city officials to become more diligent in its approach to secure and ban tours of the park . The park is no longer operational and safety is a concern . Trespassing is prohibited , and the property is only visible from the highway . The New Orleans Police Department officers can be seen patrolling the park daily to prevent trespassing . </P>
