Mega Zeph, Wooden roller coaster in Eastern New Orleans, US.
Mega Zeph was a wooden roller coaster located in Eastern New Orleans with a long track and high lift hills. The structure featured a hybrid design combining wooden track elements with modern steel support systems for stability.
The coaster opened in 2000 as the main attraction at Jazzland amusement park and operated for several years. Major damage in 2005 ended operations and led to the park's closure.
The coaster appeared in the film Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters as part of the fictional Circeland amusement park. Its neon sign is now preserved at the National Roller Coaster Museum for future generations to see.
The coaster is no longer operational and cannot be ridden, though the structure remains visible from outside the park grounds. Check ahead for information about any restoration efforts or public access opportunities.
The coaster's design incorporated specific engineering features intended to resist severe storm conditions found in the region. These protective measures reflected the builders' awareness of the environmental challenges facing Gulf Coast attractions.
