Hurricane Katrina caused several levees to breech in New Orleans. The city which lies at an elevation below Lake Pontchartrain is flooded along with the park.
The park has a "soft opening" for their annual "Celebration in the Oaks". The Live Oak Ladybug does operate for the first time since the Hurricane Katrina disaster.
The park has its grand reopening, but problems with the Live Oak Ladybug roller coaster keep it from operating.
