The park opened on May 20, 2000 and was first known as '''Jazzland'''. The name was changed to Six Flags New Orleans on April 12, 2003 after [[Six Flags]] got the lease in March 2002. The park has been closed since just before [[Hurricane Katrina]] struck New Orleans in August 2005. It is currently owned by the City of New Orleans. After seeing the damage that was caused by Katrina, Six Flags tried to end their 75-year lease with the city in July 2006. They succeeded in September 2009.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nola.com/business/index.ssf/2009/09/city_of_new_orleans_begins_ter.html|accessdate=2014-07-09|title=City of New Orleans begins terminating its lease with Six Flags|publisher=New Orleans Times-Picayune}}</ref> The abandoned park is a popular [[urban exploration]] spot.
