Six Flags New Orleans got appraised, the first step in getting the abandoned theme park redeveloped. So much is the park worth? The McEnery Co. valued the park at $3 million, according to NOLA.com.
The price estimate is only for the land, though; the group’s report says that all the abandoned rides at the site are essentially worthless.
Meanwhile, neighbors of the park are growing frustrated by the Industrial Development Board and city of New Orleans’ failure to maintain the park. Neighbors are complaining of "swarms of mosquitoes and other wildlife" and "pools of standing water on the site" (hello, Zika) that create "a layer of thick, green muck that flows onto roads during heavy rains."
