The night before we risked breaking into abandoned Six Flags in New Orleans I could not sleep at all and was up until 4am when the plan was to be in the park by 7am. I suddenly fell asleep and when I woke up I saw that it was 8:30am. I was so mad at myself but there was no time to stop and think about so we instantly run out of the hotel, hop in the car and sped to the park, we scoped out the grounds the day prior but this was our last day in New Orleans so we had to get in. It was about a 30 minute drive from where we were staying and just like the day before when we drove past the entrance to Six Flags there were cops blocking off the entrance. Urbexing is always more successful in the morning but I didn't figure that they were had patrols in the lot that early. I can't give all the details for how we got in but we most certainly did. While we were inside we saw both alligators and cops walking around, both equally as bad. The patrols did not stop us though from climbing some roller coasters. Although it was very risky we managed to climb up the side steps of a wooden roller coaster that was right next to the side of the highway, but it gave a view of the entire amusement park. The park also had multiple areas that still had inches deep of water and the back half of the park itself was swampland so our shoes were definitely wet. Although this spot was the most risky spot I have urbex'd (considering there were literally patrols in the park) it was definitely worth it because I would say this is now the coolest abandoned spot I have been.
