Muskrat Scrambler is a roller coaster found at Six Flags New Orleans, in the Eastern New Orleans area of New Orleans, Louisiana, USA. 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. Six Flags started to take out rides like Batman: The Ride in 2007 to be moved to Six Flags Fiesta Texas as Goliath in 2008 and many more roller coasters and attractions, but 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]
