Oldiesmann Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I didn't realize there were any other coasters in New Orleans since SFNO closed, but apparently there's still one more. http://www.thrillnetwork.com/content.php?r=3421-Katrina-damaged-Lady-Bug-coaster-to-be-replaced City Park in New Orleans will get a brand new Lady Bug roller coaster.After Hurricane Katrina struck New Orleans in 2005 roller coaster and theme park enthusiasts turned their attention in New Orleans to Six Flags New Orleans being closed indefinitely with its mostly ruined rides and infrastructure. One roller coaster and park actually returned to operation: City Park. The park's Zierer Lady Bug roller coaster reopened and ran until 2011 when corrosion was discovered at the base of the ride.

fanofFirehawk Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I'm glad. For some reason I like to see roller coasters/ rides restored, that makes for one less depressing video on youtube. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
