  • This is a tribute to Jazzland and Six Flags New Orleans that was destroyed by Hurricane Katrina. In this video, you will see the park as it was full of people looking to have fun as well as what it looks like now as it stands alone just rotting away.

      On a live TV commercial it probably would have looked a little crisper at like 480p. But VHS recordings converted to low resolution digital video on Windows XP probably degraded the quality some lol
