After more than a quarter century of thrills and fun, Six Flags America and Hurricane Harbor in the Maryland suburbs of Washington, D.C., will close at the end of this season.

Six Flags announced it's making cuts in its portfolio and closing a park and adjoining water rides. Six Flags America and Hurricane Harbor in Bowie, Maryland, will welcome thrill seekers for the last time this year after the operator announced plans to close the amusement parks after the 2025 season.

The Six Flags corporation announced Thursday that it will be closing the amusement and water park in Maryland this fall. Six Flags America and Hurricane Harbor in Bowie will close Sunday, November 2, following the summer season. The 500-acre park will be sold for redevelopment as the company moves to optimize its portfolio, leaders said.
