Muskrat Scrambler is a steel roller coaster at Six Flags New Orleans, in the Eastern New Orleans area of New Orleans, Louisiana, United States. Opened on May 20, 2000, as Muskrat Scrambler at Jazzland. Six Flags took over the lease of the park in 2002, changing the park's name to Six Flags New Orleans, but kept the ride name.
History
A couple years after Six Flags took over the park, Hurricane Katrina hit the park on August 29, 2005, and the park was severely flooded from the Hurricane.
In 2007, Six Flags started to take out rides from the park. Batman: The Ride was removed in 2007 and taken to Six Flags Fiesta Texas and reopened as Goliath in 2008. Bayou Blaster and Sonic Slam were removed in 2008 and taken to Great Escape and reopened as Sasquatch in 2009. The Road Runner Express was removed in 2009 and taken to Six Flags Magic Mountain and reopened in 2011 under the same name. However, Muskrat Scrambler is still standing but not operating (SBNO) at the park with the wooden coaster Mega Zeph and other coasters and attractions. The park has been closed since 2005 and is no longer a Six Flags park; it is now owned by the city of New Orleans.[1]
