Overview

• Six Flags America in Bowie, Maryland, will shutter at the end of its 2025 season after being deemed low-margin and misaligned with the company’s long-term growth plan.
• California’s Great America in Santa Clara is scheduled to cease operations after the 2027 season unless Six Flags exercises its lease extension option under its Prologis agreement.
• The planned closures stem from a post-merger portfolio review following Six Flags’ July 2024 combination with Cedar Fair, creating North America’s largest amusement-park operator.
• Cedar Fair sold the 112-acre Santa Clara site to Prologis in 2022 for $310 million, and Prologis is now exploring redevelopment concepts for the property.
• Six Flags is reallocating capital to higher-margin parks and streamlining operations through strategic real estate transactions and park optimization.
