As most people in New Orleans know, there was a huge place in New Orleans that never came back to life since Katrina--Six Flags New Orleans. Since being abandoned, explorers have been attracted, which hasn't been without danger. There have been some urban explorers that have even been hurt trying to scale the fences here and get a glimpse at this decaying amusement park. But I don't think I've ever seen a view of the place quite like this one. Check out the incredible views they captured on this drone footage of the park!
