Overview
- Six Flags America and its Hurricane Harbor water park shut down permanently on Nov. 2 after a final day that drew heavy crowds and long waits.
- Company leaders said the park was not a strategic fit with long-term growth plans following the Six Flags–Cedar Fair merger and broader restructuring.
- The Bowie, Maryland property is being put up for sale and will be marketed for redevelopment to maximize value.
- Prince George’s County officials are engaging with ownership on proposals and say redevelopment could exceed the site’s roughly $3 million in annual tax revenue.
- About 70 full-time employees will receive severance, and the company has not decided the fate of rides, with relocation or sale possible as preservationists spotlight the Wild One coaster.
