Entire graveyards, homes, shops, restaurants, casinos, churches all washed out to sea. Not to forget the inland damage. NOLA was in a uniquely apocalyptic situation given the loss of life, but as far as sheer damage goes. What MS experienced was easily on par with NOLA.

@@WFKIV Exactly. I grew up inland, and it was bad there. I went to Biloxi a few months later, and it was shocking how bad things still were. New Orleans was hit by 8-10 feet of water, but the MS coast had 25-30 feet! More evacuated there and lived, because they’d had many more direct hits over the years.

Anything connected to Katrina I think will always remain a rough subject for those here in Louisiana. We were disregarded and pushed aside, and many people and places suffered because of it! This is an amazing way to give light to that though, and I think is necessary. It’s a beautiful work!

born & raised in nola and this is one of the absolute best contemporary documentaries ever done about anything having to do with new orleans! thank you for capturing the essence of what six flags / jazzland meant for the city.

Definitely want to see this! This is true nostalgia for me. I went to Jazzland and I worked for six flags from summer 2003 till 2 days before Katrina. I was preparing to open paradise hotdog that morning right before the park was scheduled to open we shut down due to the weather. They made us take down umbrellas and signs that would fly away. At the time I thought we were just shutting down for the weekend. We knew it was a hurricane coming and yeah the city floods, but no one expected the levee to break. I knew exactly how high the water was from looking at the SpongeBob ride. My last job and last weekend living in New Orleans.

Being from New Orleans, I'm looking forward to watching the documentary!

My son and I just finished watching "Closed for Storm." Excellent job, Jake and company. As always, you approach the subject with no melodrama, just good storytelling that covers why these places get abandoned, the facts of the financials (ugh--the waste!), and the tragedy (particularly in this case) of the lives and neighborhoods impacted. The visuals were stunning. Bravo!

It’s so cool that I found the director of this documentary! Fantastic job! 10/10 my favorite documentary.

Closed For Storm brought me back to my childhood. It was a wonderful view into a place that brought me so much joy as a kid. It was emotional and sad for me. Really well done.

I just finished watching the documentary. It's a Katrina story I've never heard before, thank you for allowing the people who lived it to tell the story themselves. Looking forward to what you do next.

Just watched the doc and found it absolutely amazing. The VHS tapes and score were truly phenomenal, and the interviewees were perfectly chosen. Fantastic job Jake, can’t wait to see what else you have in store!

Just watched it last night! Loved it! I have been obsessed with Six Flags New Orleans ever since it became abandoned and wondered what they were going to do with the land and park. I really wish they could somehow bring back the park! It would bring more tourists in and bring life back to the community. Thank you for working so hard to put this into a wonderful film! If ever it comes out on bluray I will buy it!

I have to say that I have enjoyed all of jakes abandoned you tube videos. I was pleased to see closed for storm available for purchase on my Apple TV. I bought it soon after it’s release and have now watched it 3 times. I’ve visited NOLA four times and have only driven past the site. I was there before Katrina so the park was open at the time. Such a shame this happened . And with no insurance available to rebuild . Sad. But great movie .

I preordered it and watched it! Loved it. I love how you included so much footage of it back when it was open! Really gives us a better view of what life was like back then when it wasn’t abandoned. Please don’t ever stop doing the abandoned series! One thing I wish I could have seen was elaborating on how you went about it to get permission to be on the property. I know it’s crazy protected, would have been cool to hear the story behind how you were able to gain access!

I’ll rent it soon buddy, just gotta wait to get paid. Glad to see all your hard work finally pay off :)

I've watched the doc like 10 times now and I'm still blown away by how amazing the music is. You didn't exaggerate even a little bit about how good it is.

I’ve seen Closed for Storm a couple of times and it’s one of the best documentaries I’ve ever seen. Powerful, hard hitting, funny and sad. More of these type of programmes please!!

Wow man I just got done watching Closed for Storm and I gotta say I'm blown away. Not that I wasn't expected to be but the way u managed to capture a scene about the loss the city went through but still show the love between the community and people after is so touching. The scene when the couple started hugging after walking through their house that was practically not there anymore had me in tears for a few seconds. The only thing I could've wished for is the exploration of the park to be longer. Paying 5 bucks to rent an hour long film seems a little steep, but regardless man you have a promising future in this.

This is exciting. It looks like it be of excellent quality and the dedication to see this project to fruition is commendable. Thank you for this Jake.

Watching this right now. I love the aspect of the theme park and how it got left behind

I love that when he says “I’m always going to love it” meaning this is only the beginning

Seeing all of the old videos of Jazzland especially the Grand opening gave me goosebumps. It was both fond full and depressing at the same time.

Bought it already, but I’m trying to hold out until my flight on Thursday to watch it. Congrats to Jake and the whole BSF crew

Just rented “Closed for Storm” on Vudu. Very, very solid documentary feature debut. I’ve loved the Abandoned series for years, and this film feels like the quintessential culmination of all of your years working on said series. Congratulations!!!

Congrats to Jake and the crew. I’ve been pumped to watch this for a long time!

Thank you for respecting the people who still have sentiment for this park. ❤️ Many good memories at Six flags New Orleans!

This is incredible, Jake. I’ve been following you for probably 5 or 6 years, and as a Baton Rouge resident who has felt like SFNO has become such a symbol of the losses of Katrina, I have been waiting anxiously for it. Made a whole Vudu account just to buy it and it was worth every penny. You’ve come so far from those early, stammery, uncertain videos. This is surreal in the very best sense of the word. I love it. Is it weird to be proud of someone you’ve never met? Well, I am.

I loved Closed for Storm! Me and my mom used to watch BSF all the time, and now that she has passed away, watching BSF makes me so happy to remember her

I told you I was going to buy this documentary and I did (absolutely top, btw) You are one of the pillars of the Urbex community and I’m so happy you can now share this hobby with even more people. Your videos are an excellent reminder to be thankful when we get to visit a museum, an amusement park, a resort or mall. All of those places will one day be empty for good, reclaimed by nature or knocked down. Even places like Disney World will one day close their doors, it’s not going to be today or tomorrow, it might not even be for several life times, but it will happen. It’s kinda sad, that the places we love won’t last forever, that one day the settings of our treasured memories will be neglected or destroyed, but it also makes me feel lucky. Thanks for reminding me that we all got one go around on this big stupid ball and I’m happy my turn had rollercoasters and indoor plumbing instead of the Black Death or a Mongol invasion.

Watched the movie last night. Was absolutely fantastic, thank you Jake for the amazing content

OK so I just watch it. You guys did an incredible job! I've lived 30 minutes from disney world my entire life and we've always had passes. It has always been magical. I thought about what it would be like if a hurricane took it out ( obviously Florida gets a lot of them, and we're even waiting for one to hit at this very moment) . We would be absolutely gutted. I practically grew up there. I have memories from every pivotal point in my life, including bringing my son. If it was no longer there, or worse, fallen to disrepair, it would be beyond heartbreaking. I felt a sense of loss for those people who no longer have access to the place that gave them so many good memories. You guys really did such a good job at portraying the sense of loss and frustration. Congratulations on the film!

I have always had an interest in Six Flags New Orleans as well. The one event that sparked my interest came when I was waiting in line to ride Batman: The Ride at Six Flags St. Louis. They had to redirect the line further underneath the building where you get get on the ride. Under that building is actually cars from a Six Flags New Orleans roller coaster and they even say, "New Orleans" on the back of them. When I worked at Six Flags St. Louis I actually asked about them and they said those cars were one of the few products that were deemed "possibly usable" so they loaded them on flatbeds and shipped them north. I believe they are there to be used for spare parts. I do not know if those cars remain under that building to this day, but it was certainly fun to see them and to know their legacy.

I am so proud of you. I have been following your work for a long time. I am a huge fan of Dan Bell and I was introduced to your work through him. I was born and raised in the New Orleans area and I still live here today. Naturally your documentary is of interest to me. I'm going to purchase it from Amazon.
