Overview

  • Six Flags America and Hurricane Harbor in Bowie, Maryland, will permanently close following their final operating day on November 2, 2025.
  • The decision comes after Six Flags' evaluation of its park portfolio, determining the property does not align with the company’s long-term growth strategy.
  • The 500-acre site will be marketed for redevelopment, with CBRE engaged to manage the sale and attract potential buyers.
  • Approximately 70 full-time employees will be affected, all of whom will receive severance and benefits during the transition.
  • Prince George’s County officials are collaborating with Six Flags to guide a redevelopment process aimed at fostering jobs, growth, and community benefits.
