You know... I bet you could break in with a small 3phase generator and hot wire a single ride and I bet as long as the control box wasn't under water it would still work.

The one in Gurnee Il is much bigger than that.

Does it still have water around it like in Voodoo's pic? The video showed what looked like it was surrounded by land.

the wiki after the video (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Six_Flags_New_Orleans) said that.....
Damage reports by Six Flags inspectors stated that the park buildings are 80% demolished, all of the flat rides (except for one which was being serviced off-site at the time of the storm) have been effectively destroyed by long term salt-water immersion, and both the wooden track and steel superstructure of the Mega Zeph have been damaged beyond likely hope of repair. The only large ride to escape relatively unscathed was the Batman: The Ride roller-coaster, due to its elevated station platform and corrosion-resistant support structure.

I'm a great appreciator of abandoned facilities. It saddens me that it was so ransacked (as I'm sure many other places were as well).

Well yeah from a saftey stand point they are junk.. But i bet they would still "work". I don't think I would ride on them. but I bet you could still get them to operate for a short time.
