Six Flags America Closes Permanently After 50 Years

The move follows a post‑merger portfolio review focused on marketing the Bowie property for redevelopment.

Overview

  • Nov. 2, 2025 was the final day of operations for Six Flags America and the adjacent Hurricane Harbor in Bowie, Maryland.
  • Six Flags said the site will be marketed for redevelopment to generate the greatest value and return on investment.
  • About 70 full-time employees will receive severance and additional benefits as part of the shutdown.
  • The company has not decided the fate of the rides and attractions, with relocation within the chain or sale to other operators under review.
  • The closure comes after the company reported a three‑month net loss exceeding $100 million and signaled CEO Richard A. Zimmerman would depart at year’s end, while other parks remain open.
