Before Katrina hit, Six Flags New Orleans was struggling. When the levees broke, the site was flooded with several feet of water. Since it has receded, the park has remained closed.

The website WebUrbanist.com recently posted a series of photos of the abandoned park, in all of its creepy splendor.

A struggling location is crippled by Katrina and, even now, remains dormant. There's a metaphor in there somewhere.
