Short answer: Two Six Flags parks have been reported as permanently closing as of late 2025: Six Flags America in Bowie, Maryland, and Six Flags California's Great America in Santa Clara, California. NBC News also notes potential further closures for other parks, including Six Flags Magic Mountain and Carowinds at various times, depending on ongoing corporate restructuring and debt considerations. However, the primary confirmed closures in late 2025 are Six Flags America and Six Flags Great America, with ongoing coverage about additional park evaluations and potential future changes.
Details and context:
- Six Flags America (Maryland) and Hurricane Harbor (the adjacent water park) ceased operations permanently, with a closure date around November 2, 2025, following a broader portfolio review and strategic reallocation of assets. The park announced the closings on social channels and hosted a final day for guests. This marks a major milestone in the company’s restructuring efforts.
- The Maryland closure is reported alongside discussion of the Santa Clara, California park (Six Flags Great America) as part of the same wave of closures or strategic reevaluation, with industry outlets noting a potential end-of-life timeline for the California park by the end of 2027, contingent on ongoing corporate strategy and asset disposition.
- Additional regional outlets summarized the situation by listing the two confirmed closures (Maryland and California) and noting that near-term changes could affect other parks as ownership seeks to maximize value through redevelopment or sale. Readers are advised to look for official communications from Six Flags for the latest status.
