Demolition Underway On Abandoned Six Flags Site In New Orleans East

Demolition is underway at the former Six Flags site in New Orleans East.

The park never reopened after Hurricane Katrina wrecked it in 2005.

Demolition is scheduled to be completed by January, making room for the Bayou Phoenix development.

Bayou Phoenix will feature hotel rooms, shopping, sports fields, a water park, a beach lagoon, and a family entertainment center.

The developer says more information about the project will be released next Tuesday.
