* Six Flags New Orleans - Opened 2000 as Jazzland, acquired 2002. Closed for Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and never reopened due to being flooded. The park has since been left to rot, still bearing the scars of the hurricane, with what few roller coasters that could be saved moved to other parks; it is now a popular destination for urban explorers.

The park is also extremely dangerous because of decay and wildlife. Going to explore the ruins of the park is very much discouraged.[[/note]]

The first Six Flags parks were built by the Great Southwest Corporation, which was purchased by the Pennsylvania Railroad, which would become Penn Central Corporation in a couple of years. [[Creator/WarnerBrosDiscovery Time Warner]] gradually gained ownership in the corporation by 1993, then sold it to Premier Parks in 1998. Premier then changed its name to Six Flags Theme Parks Inc. in 2000 (converting most of their standalone parks to the Six Flags name in the meantime). Six Flags filed for bankruptcy in June of 2009, but then reorganized and emerged from bankruptcy in May of 2010, selling off many of its parks in the process. Despite no longer being owned by what's now Warner Bros. Discovery, they still license various Warner Bros. properties, including ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' and Creator/DCComics characters, for use in their parks. In 2023, Six Flags announced that it would combine with Cedar Fair which is scheduled to be completed in 2024.

* OverlyNarrowSuperlative: When ''Green Lantern: First Flight'' opened at Magic Mountain, the park proudly boasted that it was "the first completely vertical-pattern zig-zag roller coaster featuring 360-degree spinning seats in North America". The coaster was a clone of ''Insane'' in Sweden.
