Six Flags Officially Closes After 50 Years
Six Flags America closed after 50 years due to parent company restructuring and $319 million losses in 2025; property will be marketed for redevelopment, officials said.
- On Sunday, November 2, Six Flags America in Bowie, Maryland permanently closed after five decades, confirming the shutdown on its park social channels and thanking visitors for the memories.
- Six Flags Entertainment Corporation said it shuttered the park to restructure and address ongoing debt and announced in May it planned to close after the operating season.
- Falling attendance and large losses increased pressure on portfolio decisions, as Six Flags Entertainment Corporation reported a $319.4 million loss for the first half of 2025 and a 9% attendance decline for the three months ending June 29.
- About 70 full-time associates will receive benefits and severance, while Prince George's County leaders noted the park generated about $3 million in tax revenue a year.
- Originally opened in 1974 as The Wildlife Preserve, the site became a Six Flags park in 1999; the 500-acre property will be marketed for redevelopment following the July 2024 Cedar Fair merger creating a company with more than 20 parks and resorts.
