**Six Flags America in Maryland to Close After 2025 Season**
Six Flags Entertainment Corporation has announced plans to close both Six Flags America and Hurricane Harbor in Bowie, Maryland, at the conclusion of the 2025 season.
The amusement park and water park, which together span more than 500 acres, will be marketed for redevelopment by commercial real estate firm CBRE. In a statement, Six Flags President and CEO Richard A. Zimmerman explained the decision:
“As part of our comprehensive review of our park portfolio, we have determined that Six Flags America and Hurricane Harbor are not a strategic fit with the company’s long-term growth plan. After reviewing a number of options, we believe that marketing the property for redevelopment will generate the highest value and return on investment.”
This development follows recent news that Washington, D.C., and the Washington Commanders have reached an agreement to build a new 65,000-seat roofed stadium at the RFK site in the District. The current Landover stadium and the Six Flags property are located within approximately 15 minutes of each other, highlighting the significance of regional redevelopment initiatives.
The closure marks a significant shift for the area’s entertainment and real estate landscape as decisions are made to enhance investment value and align with long-term strategic priorities.
