Direct answer: As of the latest available information, Six Flags has announced closures for two parks: Six Flags America (in Bowie, Maryland) and its accompanying Hurricane Harbor water park, which are permanently closing at the end of the 2025 season. Reports indicate the final operating day was November 2, 2025, after which both properties are closed and slated for redevelopment or portfolio restructuring. Several outlets confirmed the closures and noted the parks’ long histories, with Six Flags America having operated for about five decades. Details and context:
- Closure rationale: The parent company has stated that Six Flags America and Hurricane Harbor are not aligned with its long-term growth plan, and the properties are being marketed for redevelopment to maximize value.
- Park history: Six Flags America opened in 1974 (originally as a drive-through safari park) and underwent several branding changes before becoming Six Flags America; the closure marks the end of a long era for the Maryland site.
- Public reaction: Fans and observers have highlighted the loss of landmark attractions, including the historic Wild One wooden roller coaster, as part of the broader closure news.
