Six Flags America park goers will have to find their thrills elsewhere.

The theme park announced on May 1 that it plans to shut down the Six Flags America and Hurricane Harbor in Bowie, Md., at the end of the 2025 season.

“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,” Six Flags President & CEO Richard A.

The nearly 500-acre property will be up for sale with the intention of being redeveloped.
