Muskrat Scrambler was a steel roller coaster located at the now demolished Six Flags New Orleans in Louisiana. Manufactured by L&T Systems, the ride opened in the Jazzland section of the park on May 20, 2000. Following the devastation to the amusement park in August 2005 by Hurricane Katrina, the roller coaster ceased operation following the park's closure but remained standing until its demolition in 2024.

History

Three years after Six Flags took control of the park, Hurricane Katrina devastated the surrounding area on August 29, 2005. In 2007, Six Flags started to remove rides from the park. Batman: The Ride was removed in 2007 and taken to Six Flags Fiesta Texas and reopened as Chupacabra in 2008. Bayou Blaster and Sonic Slam were removed in 2008 and taken to Great Escape and reopened as Sasquatch in 2009. The Road Runner Express was removed in 2009 and taken to Six Flags Magic Mountain and reopened in 2011 under the same name. The coaster remained standing but not operating (SBNO) until it was demolished in 2024.
