The Last Ride: Documenting the Death of Six Flags New Orleans with Jason Lanier

In this emotional episode of No Tracers, I sit down with renowned photographer and urban explorer Jason Lanier, who was granted rare access to document the haunting decay and final demolition of Six Flags New Orleans; one of America's most infamous abandoned amusement parks. As the park’s unofficial "resident photographer," Jason captured the soul of an iconic place frozen in time, then stood witness as it was slowly torn apart.

We talk about what it was like to walk through the remains of roller coasters and water rides, the deep sadness and guilt that comes with watching history vanish, and the importance of documenting urban ruins before they're lost forever.

This one is raw, real, and a farewell letter to a place that’s become legend in the urbex world.
