Overview
- Six Flags America and the adjacent Hurricane Harbor permanently closed on Nov. 2, with the roughly 500-acre property now for sale for redevelopment.
- Six Flags said about 70 full-time associates will receive severance and eligible benefits as operations cease.
- The company has not decided the fate of individual rides, noting relocation to other parks or sales to other operators as options, while preservation advocates spotlight the 108-year-old Wild One wooden coaster.
- Final-day crowds produced multi-hour waits for marquee attractions, and Entertainment Weekly reported a lift-stop evacuation on Superman: Ride of Steel.
- Local leaders in Prince George’s County are engaging with the owner on future uses, citing potential for significantly greater tax revenue than the park generated.
