Photos Taken From Drones Show The World As It's Rarely Seen

12. The Six Flags Theme Park

The abandoned Six Flags theme park in New Orleans East stands as a haunting reminder of Hurricane Katrina’s devastation. Originally closed in 2005 during preparations for the storm, the park never reopened. Two weeks after the hurricane, a drone took this picture showing most of the park under water. The image highlights the sheer scale of the flooding that overwhelmed the area, leaving behind a ghostly landscape of rides and attractions

What happened to this once-thriving amusement park? After Katrina, the damage proved too extensive to repair, and the site remained untouched for years. Over time, nature began reclaiming the space, with vegetation growing through cracks in the pavement and rust overtaking the rides. Today, the park serves as a symbol of resilience and loss for the New Orleans community. Have you ever thought about walking into this abandoned, strange site? Its story continues to captivate locals and visitors alike, offering a glimpse into the city’s history and the lasting impact of one of America’s most destructive natural disasters.
