I give you guys a 5-star rating just for not getting caught by security. Far too many people have been busted while making videos, so I applaud your successful adventure! Excellent video!! Enjoyed it very much!

Why would it be such a big deal to go in there? not everybody is so happy. I would go in there and if I hurt myself too bad I wouldn't see anybody. I should be allowed to go in there and take as many pictures as I want to. it's a free country.

Such fun times! From Jazzland to Six flags.

It is incredible how much money was invested and then just left behind.! Thanks for sharing this video.!

You got seriously lucky to not get caught here, lots of walking in the main streets in the open, let alone putting the drone up. Security were watching the game in their cars most likely.

been to this park before the hurricane 😢. I appreciate my six flags here outside of chicago so much since I see how this park been looking for almost 20 years 😢

You mean Gurnee Illinois? Because that's where it is and God I miss going to that one.

8:03 - It's a shame they didn't salvage some of these rides before they were too far gone, especially this rare Schwarzie Polyp variation, _The Joker's Jukebox!_ From what I've seen and read about, there's only two other rides of this particular iteration in existence...Those are both named _The Jukebox -_ one at Nigloland Park in Dolancourt, France, and the other at Liseberg Park, in Göthenburg, Sweden... Thankfully, both of those _ARE_ still operating!

That's some great footage of a bygone park, proving how much nature has taken it over. It makes me wonder what this park would look like today if Katrina didn't hit.

At 15:23 that's one of the ice cream cones from Barbe's shop. Sadly, that clown giant head was destroyed a few years ago. You can see what's left of it at 28:52.

I’m in ATL, so I frequent six flags ga ALOT!!! I don’t ride anything, I just enjoy people watching bc I can’t ride anymore n I now use my electric wheelchair. I love visiting different parks bc my daughter, son n & dil are adrenaline thrill ride junkies, so I’m always up to flying off to a park. Your video was great, you’re brave, my fear of snakes, gators n jail would keep me out😂 It will never reopen as a theme park, but those kids in that area need something to do, all they have is a skate board park that someone started. The city needs to invest in the east side, maybe that will deter teen crime

This is so sad. I'm not really a big theme park fan but that was so sad that it got destroyed by Katrina.

Great video! Thanks!

Love this !!

I think it’s crazy how vibrant some of the paint has stayed. It’s also crazy and sad to see how much was uprooted and changed in such little time. The documentary “closed for storm” was so insightful. I hope whatever they turn this into flourishes, it’d be cool if they took some of the pieces left behind for like an exhibit or in a museum or even like at whatever they build next but roped off so people can just take pictures and reminisce.

Thank you for doing the video and thanks to your friend for doing the drone footage. There are many videos out there about this park but none of them tour the whole park and look at what was where, like you guys did. I'm from Australia, so this gave me a really good feel of what the park would've been like in it's hay day but also a good look at the state that it's in now. It's a shame that so many people have vandalised it, although you were right about some of the rides. I'm surprised so many were just left sitting there.

The swamp and money I think. I don't think they made a lot of money at the park and after Katrina I think it would have been worse with less people being there is my guess. I rushed out here last April on Easter to make this video because I thought it was going to be taken down by the end of last year... Still standing when we came last month for Mardi Gras lol.

One of the rail car rides was John Lafitte virtual ride...so cool. I think after it turned to six flags it went to sponge bob or something like that. The Pontchartrain beach was also a park like six flags a long time ago. It was open from 1928 to 1983. I also went to that park. Not in 1928 but in the early 80's lol

Hey! Yeah, we came from Atlanta on the day before Easter to get in here on Easter Sunday. I had season passes for years in Georgia, we must be the same age almost. I would recommend having someone drop you off like we did. If you get dropped off at the sign, just run down till the end and try your best to avoid the trail camera that we showed at the start of the video. We walked by it, not 100% sure if it worked or not but no one ever showed up... granted I dont think they were working since it was a holiday. It was well worth it though and if you were just recording a video or taking photos the security will just escort you off the property. I would try to go on Easter this year if I was you lol. I bet they will have extra security the next few weeks since Mardi Gras is going on. We are coming down the 11th for Mardi Gras! :)
