How about the poor post men who got wet feet and then smelly feet?

East Hastings is the perfect music choice for this video. It brilliantly correlates with the eerie imagery and the uneasy mien displayed here.

This video has been a huge inspiration to me... Not only did it get me into GYBE!... But it also spurred me to start photographing lost and abandoned places. It's easily one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen

Brayden I got to go to both Jazz land and Six flags

This is still the best video of this place. I went here multiple times in October 2010 when this video was made. We slept in the Opera House and had a fire in the fountain in front of it where we cooked steak. The gators watched us intently every time we were anywhere near the lagoon. I'm surprised they didn't film the warehouse filled with toys. Anyways I feel lucky that I was able to see it before vandals completely ruined it.

Man, there are so many memories in this park. I remember we would go there every weekend during the summer because we had passes. I can even remember the time before it was "six flags" and when it was "jazzland".... I rode my first roller coaster there...... Damn this is depressing.

The combination of the video work and the haunting soundtrack of GYBE is a reason why I come back and review this video again and again.. so much beautiful melancholy. This is wonderful, heart wrenching work.

Seen this video when it first got put on KZread. 11 years later it's still haunting to me. From the cinematography to the creepy background music 😮😮😮

my favorite thing about this video is how modern the park is. It's freaky to see something from so recent in such a state of disrepair.

And 10 years later, still there. It’s amazing too see that even in the condition it was in then was miles better than what it is now. I still believe it can be restored, it should be. It’s what the community wants

imagine the damage to the park was 32 milions dolars...80% of the park is lost, as u can see is lost in time. In this situation the best oporunity is to build something new, everything is damaged bad

I really like the song you picked for this. It kind of goes with the sense of abandonment.

I didn't know a six flags park got abandoned from a hurricane! So sad! :'(

If only you could actually be able to fully portray being there on video. The feeling of actually being there is SO powerful. All the noises and the strange movements from everything. The squeaks and clangs from the large bungee towers. It is a truly powerful experience.

I love these abandoned Places, they all are silent since years, yet they tell an amazing story.

This is haunting, truly haunting. It's such a tragic thing to happen to a place that's supposed to be filled with happy memories.

When this place was first Jazz Land it was awesome. The area replicating Pontchartrain Beach was a huge attraction. We went again in 2003 after Six Flags purchased it just two years before the storm and once again we had a great time. Its creepy and sad to see it like it is today. Thanks for posting.

I love abandoned places, and this is one of the best preserved I've seen, it's so beautiful. Creepy yes, but still very powerful. Really represents the suddenness of what happened there.

That felt like a six and a half minute Breaking Bad intro.

There are other videos of this park out there, but this is the best one by far! The music is haunting,and the photography/editing is superb!

Out of all the tours and videos out there nowdays for this theme park, I keep coming back to this one... The music and video shots are the best out of them all.

This is beautifully tranquil man. Nice usage of "East Hastings" by Godspeed You!Black Emperor.

It was submerged in 8-10 feet of water for over a month after Hurricane Katrina passed through. They might not look damaged, but most of the rides' internal framework was destroyed by the floodwater. I think only one ride was removed, a Batman themed coaster, and re-located. The park has not been demolished as of yet, but was used for the set of a Percy Jackson film last year. I read that they were able to get several of the rides temporarily operational for the filming.

I cried throughout this whole video. I had so many great memories there as a kid, and it just hurts to see what it has turned into. I remember the park even before it was Six Flags, it was Jazzland. I remember going there on the last day of school every year with all my friends, I have pictures on the swing ride, I remember winning an NSYNC CD in the arcade, and I remember getting stuck on the log ride for two hours haha. I would do anything to go back..

I would never be able to sneak into an abandoned amusement park because I'd be terrified of zombies showing up and attacking me. Thanks a lot, Zombieland!

I actually just got back from going there. It is the most surreal thing to witness in person. I remember when I went as a kid and going there tonight was just so different. We climbed the wooden roller coaster and went inside all the buildings. It was so crazy but an awesome adventure!

This is the most creepiest music I have ever heard

Seriously looks like an opening sequence for The Walking Dead.

This is a work of art in its deepest form, video and pictures and movies with no words say more than those that do.

Great Job!!! Everything is perfect!! The shots, the music, the sense!!!

Park still stands today. I recently drove from Phoenix to Jacksonville FL and back and it looks very depressing. The most recent movie filmed there were a few scenes from tthe new Jurassic Park movie.

it makes me mad that still in 2015 its fate is still unknown;(

absolutely beautiful and so moving. Perfect choice of music, as well.

Beautifully done- how tragic a time for New Orleans..and the memories linger always.

I just started listening to GY!BE recently and was listening to f#a# infinity and once east hastings came on, I instantly remembered this video.

This video helped me discover GYBE! Almost 6 years ago

I just love discovering places like these i mean its the eerie feeling you get and the thought of what life was like when things were running.

This has gotta be the best footage of this place of any other Explorers footage.The music,The Theme of the video & the way it was put together is Excellent.I've gotta share this on Facebook!!!

The park is still there, I'm from Louisiana.

WOOOOOOW. I didn't know there was a six flags in N.O

This video is so hauntingly beautiful. I love it.

Amazing photography, captured very well.

The reading of the sign in the beginning really shows the last thing they said "closed for the storm". That is a cool shot!

Wow, this is beautifully shot..

This was the first video I watched on the park before you had Adam the Woo and Proper People do a video so kudos. The music can't be beat btw.

Probably the creepiest yet beautiful thing I have ever seen. I've had an odd fascination with this abandoned park in particular for a couple of years. Really great video. And for anyone wondering, it has not been demolished...yet at least. It's suppose to turn into shopping outlets but I wouldnt be a bit surprised if those plans fell through like the numerous others. I hope it remains like this for years; twisted yes but there's a certain beauty in urban wastelands... By the way, does anyone kn

I love this video, beautifully done ❤️

Reminds me of 28 Days later, probabally the music and the slow panning of the camera. This is some really great stuff, thank you.

This is so eerily beautiful.

Wow the way its filmed is amazing! I love this! Its so creeepppyyy :D

This got me pumped for fallout 4! Seeing those computers look like the post war terminals. Great video.

Fascinating. The soundtrack piece is particularly apt.

This was so well made. I'd love to visit before demolition.

It's amazing that this stuff is still standing after that hurricane. I guess it shows how much we can really trust the engineers who come up and build this stuff.

this is a work of art

I couldn't help but cry during this video.... I spent so many happy moments laughing and having fun as a kid there.... and now, it's a barren wasteland.

absolutely brilliant cinematography. if it wasnt so illegal to venture there i would love to explore the place

Beautifully shot

I love this video there's many out there on this but this is the best one

This place was for fun and I went to this place when I was a kid. I miss every single bit of it. R.I.P sixflags New Orleans. The people of New Orleans will never forget this wonderful place of enjoyment. :(

I watched this a few days ago and got really depressed for over 4 hours. I tried listening to christmas music to cheer me up and watching tv, but nothing worked. Now i'm watching it again, feeling like I'm gonna cry.

Really great video!

Wow, what a video! I love it! :D It seems that the ghosts have taken over that place. At least did the scene with mirrors and stairs at around 4:18 make me think of ghosts. I could quite well imagine how they hold their shows on that scene. Very good choice of music aswell!

This video is really powerful, the park still looks like the day the hurricane hit and is full of memories from the past

Oh my god it’s so cinematic I love it!

I miss this place so much. Katrina took too much from us. It is depressing driving around and seeing the many closed down places that were destroyed by Katrina...

The song you used totally makes this so much creepier. I'd love to go explore this place. AMAZING yet sad :/

Great video.. even if it is depressing, but the videography and the movement, etc... was pretty awesome.

just the info I was looking for! Thanks! i kept finding things that were written awhile back saying it was going to be demolished and cleaned up in 2011. me and some friends are headed out in sept and want to look around while we're there :)

Excellent Video!! Perfect song.

great job. really moving

Absolutely amazing

Abandoned theme parks creep me out soooo much... But I'm obsessed with looking at pictures of them to see how creepy they look.........

I have always been a fan of amusement parks. I help score films with my brother and am looking forward to the day when we can set some music to visuals of deserted parks. Good posting. - Nice quality of light in your film.

Good work Mr Smith.

Perfect in its beautiful dread, amazing piece of artistic decay.

Cool video- excellent soundtrack. I keep expecting a hoard of zombies to emerge from the shadows lol

This would have worked really well with Dead Flag Blues from the same album too, if not for the name of the song, for the apocalyptic dialogue. Awesome video. Edit: I just tried watching this with Dead Flag Blues in the background and it syncs up perfectly. The last few cuts with the credits and fade to black happened right when the first movement of the song ends and the narrator closes it out with "we woke up up one morning, and fell a little further down. for sure it's the valley of death. I open up my wallet, and it's full of blood."
