 Before the 2003 season, the park opened a whole new selection of rides including moving "The Joker's Revenge" roller coaster from Fiesta Texas in San Antonio to the park in New Orleans and renamed it "The Jester" in the Mardi Gras section of the park.The coaster also ran backwards at the park with a new color scheme of Green and Blue.When Hurricane Katrina hit the park on August 29, 2005, the park was severely flooded causing Six Flags New Orleans to shut down and the rides to close.
