Overview

• California’s Great America will close for the year on October 26 and has canceled most live entertainment along with Tricks and Treats and WinterFest.
• Six Flags notified 184 seasonal employees of layoffs effective November 1, characterizing the roles as seasonal while saying it is considering all options.
• The company reported a $100 million second-quarter loss and saw CEO Richard Zimmerman resign following the earnings release.
• The Santa Clara site is owned by Prologis under a 2022 sale-leaseback, and the lease allows termination with two years’ notice, a provision that has intensified closure speculation.
• Six Flags has told the public it intends to reopen the park in 2026, though recent cancellations and the separate, reported plan to shutter Six Flags America have fueled doubts about further cuts.
