Six Flags Over Georgia Shuts at 2 P.M. Citing Cold, Rain and Safety
The unplanned shutdown coincides with a corporate pivot to focus on higher‑return parks.
Overview
- The park announced on X that it would close at 2 p.m. due to showers and temperatures near 43°F, citing safety for guests and staff.
- Refund or rescheduling guidance was not posted at the time of the notice, and visitors were directed to the website or guest services for help.
- The move follows third‑quarter results showing a $31 million decline in net revenue and a 4% drop in per‑capita spending to $59.08.
- Former SeaWorld and Palace Entertainment executive John Reilly is set to become CEO in December as the company retools its operations.
- CFO Brian Witherow said Six Flags will prioritize parks with the highest returns and may monetize others to reduce debt, with any potential park sales or closures reported as speculative, including uncertainty around Great America’s lease expiring in 2028.
