The announcement was shortly followed by news that Six Flags California's Great America of Santa Clara, California, would also be closing, though not until 2027.

Six Flags California's Great America won't close until the end of the 2027 season, unless the company chooses to extend or accelerate that timeline.

Six Flags has announced the planned closure of two parks. One will shut its gates to the public at the end of the 2025 season.

Why is Six Flags closing a Maryland park? Six Flags' decision to sunset Six Flags America and Hurricane Harbor, located in Bowie, Maryland, was a "difficult, but necessary one," according to the CEO.
