Creepiest Filming Locations Hollywood Has Ever Chosen

19. The Abandoned Six Flags New Orleans – A Real-Life Post-Apocalyptic Theme Park

Once a bustling amusement park, Six Flags New Orleans has stood abandoned since Hurricane Katrina devastated the area in 2005. Left to decay, the park has transformed into a hauntingly eerie ghost town, with rusting roller coasters, flooded attractions, and nature slowly reclaiming the land. The park’s eerie emptiness and crumbling rides have made it a prime filming location for post-apocalyptic and horror films, including Jurassic World (2015), which used its dilapidated setting to create a dystopian atmosphere. Filmmakers aren’t the only ones drawn to this creepy urban ruin—urban explorers who sneak inside report strange noises echoing through the empty park, shadowy figures moving in the distance, and a heavy sense of unease. Once a place of joy and laughter, Six Flags New Orleans is now one of the most unsettling film locations Hollywood has ever chosen, proving that nothing is creepier than a theme park frozen in time.
