I'm pretty sure you get dumped in Atlas Park or Mercy upon log-in. Some one tested this soon after Freedom went live, iirc.

Just last week I logged onto a character that I had created but never finished the original tutorial. He was still in the original tutorial. completing the tutorial will give you the same choice between Atlas Park and Galaxy City. Of course, if you go to Galaxy City, you'll be auto-magically rezoned to Atlas Park.|

Short answer: Yes, you can log onto a character that is in the original tutorial and still be in the original tutorial.
There I was between a rock and a hard place. Then I thought, "What am I doing on this side of the rock?"

I just wanted to emphasize that this is incorrect and Twisted Toon is correct. I have a hero in Outbreak and a villain in Breakout, and both of them are still located there. They can still run around killing Contaminated, plus I completed the hero door mission without issue after Freedom. I'm leaving them there until they completely get rid of the zones, if they ever do.

Personally I'm hoping that they add the old ones back in as an option after the shininess wears off the new one.

As an aside to this question? Can you get the Contaminated Badge outside of the original Tutorial for Paragon City? Just wondering, is all.

A slightly-altered version of the original tutorial is a part of The Pilgrim's hero intro arc to Ouroboros, available at level 25.
They also show up, one at a time and only every couple hours, in the tram in Recluse's Victory.

Ouroboros Intro arc.
The Ourorborous mission makes me think they sent Flower Knight back the first time to do that. Since she is up there in Ourorborous.

The zones will be "available" forever, most likely - it's easier than having to deal with issues from logging into non-existent zones.

That's probably very true. I know a few people who still have characters logged out on the Paragon Dance Party map, and there are probably people with characters logged out on the Rikti Crash Site map.|

I personally have 2 characters who are still in Galaxy City. I'm leaving them there, preseumed dead.

In a game this old and large there's probably a huge amount of "leftover" content that's technically not considered part of the current live build yet is still in the code in one form or another. Including zones we know there's a bunch of "discontinued" costume items and removed/unused badges lingering in the game as well.|

One might ask "Why don't the Devs just delete all that junk from the game?" But as you implied it would likely be far more risky bug-wise to tinker with any of that stuff than to just leave it "abandoned-in-place".

Rikti Crash Site is definitely still there. I think the old Faultline is as well.
I know the "real" galaxy city is still there -- the echo is a copy of it with NPCs removed and things like the arena interior disabled. For a while the arcane base teleport beacons would take you there instead of the Echo.
The old Galaxy has a field that boots you out to Atlas after a couple seconds. I'm not sure if RCS or Old Faultline do as well. Presumably Paragon Dance Party at least doesn't as there are reports of characters parked there able to run around in it.
It's too bad they changed from allowing higher level characters to mission teleport into Outbreak if a level 1 invited them and set the door mission. It could become a cool and obscure hangout if that still worked 
PDP is left alone because the Dev's like to use it. I want to say RCS has the kick field and Faultline doesn't, but I could be flipping those two around.

I got the contaminated badge last night. When you run the Ouro tutorial arc one mission is in the old tutorial. Rescue 7 peeps, defeat 25 contaminated, get a glowie. Kill 100 instead, theres your badge.

I believe you can also get the badge from the single contaminated that spawns every-so-often in recluse's victory... the original middle finger to all the characters that went through the trial before badges were implemented.

You are flipping those around. Faultline kicks but if you are in RCS then you are good to go. I hope they never change that either. I enjoy having a character in a zone nobody else can get to.
