Overview
- The Bowie/Woodmore park shut its gates permanently on Nov. 2, 2025, ending a five-decade run in Prince George’s County.
- The newly merged Six Flags Entertainment Corporation announced in May that the park and its Hurricane Harbor water park would close after a portfolio review.
- Departing CEO Richard A. Zimmerman said the property was not aligned with the company’s growth plan and that selling the land offered the best return.
- Visitors flocked to the final weekend to say goodbye, sharing personal memories and snapping up heavily discounted merchandise.
- Analysts note the company faces pandemic-era debt and leadership turnover, and they say additional park closures to realize real-estate value remain possible.
