Muskrat Scrambler, Steel roller coaster in New Orleans, Louisiana
Description
The Muskrat Scrambler was a steel Wild Mouse coaster that stretched over 1,100 feet and climbed to a height of about 47 feet. It had eight individual cars designed to seat four passengers each in a two-by-two arrangement.
History
L&T Systems built this coaster, which opened in May 2000 as part of the park's original Jazzland section. The ride operated for five years before the park permanently closed in 2005 due to major environmental damage.
Culture
The ride's name references muskrats, animals common in Louisiana's wetlands, reflecting how the park drew inspiration from local wildlife. This approach shaped how visitors experienced the themed area and connected the attraction to the surrounding environment.
Practical
This ride no longer operates, as the entire park site has been permanently closed since 2005. Information about its design and operations is available through historical records and amusement park archives for anyone interested in its legacy.
Did you know?
The coaster was one of several rides named after local wildlife, a naming approach that was especially common for the park's Wild Mouse models. This strategy made the ride part of a larger vision that connected Louisiana's natural heritage to the visitor experience.
