Six Flags America will close after the 2025 season, Six Flags announced today. The property, which totals roughly 500 acres, will be “marketed for redevelopment as part of Six Flags’ ongoing portfolio optimization program.” The park’s final operating day will be Sunday, November 2, 2025.
Why is Six Flags America Closing?
The company has engaged CBRE, a global leader in commercial real estate services and investments, to market the property for sale.
“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,” said Six Flags President & CEO Richard A. Zimmerman.
“After reviewing a number of options, we believe that marketing the property for redevelopment will generate the highest value and return on investment. We anticipate strong interest in the property and will continue to strategically pursue portfolio optimization opportunities as we work to unlock the full value of our portfolio.”
“This was a difficult decision, and we recognize the impact it will have on our Six Flags America and Hurricane Harbor park associates and guests,” Zimmerman added.
“We are grateful to our park associates who work hard to create lifelong memories for our guests, and Six Flags is committed to supporting all impacted associates through the closure process at the end of this year. Six Flags America and Hurricane Harbor have been an important part of the local community, and this final season will be an opportunity to celebrate the decades of fun that guests have enjoyed at the property.”
The closure of Six Flags America and Hurricane Harbor is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial results in 2025.
Six Flags America’s last new, non-relocated roller coaster was Batwing in 2001.
All 2025 season passes and tickets will be honored throughout the final operating season at Six Flags America and Hurricane Harbor.

I’ve heard there is community outcry over this. So it is a “right” to have the park there now? It is a business decision and obviously the community didn’t support it enough. If the outcry is over jobs, then at least they are getting advance notice.
