California Amusement Park Closing Permanently After More than 50 Years
Six Flags plans a farewell season next year and says some rides could be relocated or sold as the park winds down.
- On Thursday, November 5, 2026, Six Flags Entertainment confirmed that California's Great America in Santa Clara will permanently close after Labor Day, September 6, 2027, ending more than five decades of operations.
- This closure stems from a 2022 transaction where real estate firm Prologis purchased the 112.6-acre site for $310 million and leased it back to the park's operator; Six Flags opted not to renew the lease.
- Six Flags director of public relations Kristin Fitzgerald announced a 'Farewell Season' beginning in March 2027 to celebrate the park's 50-year legacy and allow guests to revisit beloved attractions before the final day.
- While the company has not disclosed the future of specific rides, Park Manager Dave Vosejpka noted the season allows guests to revisit attractions and traditions that shaped the community over decades.
- Located near Levi's Stadium and State Route 237, the 112.6-acre property could accommodate diverse future developments including homes, offices, and shops, according to commercial real estate brokers who assessed the site.
