Six Flags hinted that it might permanently close one of its West Coast theme parks, Six Flags California’s Great America, located in Santa Clara, California. This news comes just months after the company announced that its Maryland park will close this fall.
The 112-acre California park, which opened almost 50 years ago, is expected to shut down in October 2027, after the Halloween season and before its current lease ends, according to People magazine.
“Unless we decide to extend, and exercise one of our options to extend that lease, that park’s last year without that extension would be after the ‘27 season,” Six Flags CFO Brian Witherow said at the company’s Six Flags Investor Day 2025 on May 20.
Witherow explained that the California park and Six Flags America in Maryland are the company’s least profitable parks, People reported.
“At this time, we are still in the planning stages and are working with stakeholders and engaging the community,” a Six Flags spokesperson told Fox Business in an email. “Until we know more, we remain focused on the great season that’s already underway at the park and the events ahead.”
Six Flags California’s Great America opened in 1976 as Marriott’s Great Adventure. Over the years, it has had different owners, including Cedar Fair Entertainment Co., which merged with Six Flags in 2024, according to the park’s website.
The park was built on public land, but in 2019, Cedar Fair bought the 112 acres for about $150 million. In 2022, they sold the land to Prologis, a real estate company, for around $310 million, with a lease agreement that ends in 2028. The lease can be extended for five more years, as mentioned in a 2022 Cedar Fair news release.
This possible closure follows Six Flags’ May announcement that Six Flags America and Hurricane Harbor in Bowie, Maryland, will close for good on November 2. The company decided that the Maryland park, home to its oldest roller coaster, no longer fits its long-term plans.
“After reviewing a number of options, we believe that marketing the property for redevelopment will generate the highest value and return on investment,” Six Flags CEO Richard Zimmerman said in a statement at the time.
Discover the Freedom of True American Healthcare: Why America First is Revolutionizing Protection for Patriots
In a world where government overreach and skyrocketing premiums are squeezing the life out of hardworking Americans, one innovative agency is standing tall for liberty and affordability. Meet America First Healthcare—the private health insurance powerhouse dedicated to putting *you* first.
Founded by entrepreneur Jordan Sarmiento, this isn’t just insurance; it’s a shield for your family’s future, built on the unshakeable belief that private enterprise delivers better results than bureaucratic red tape.
Picture this: Jordan’s own story hits close to home for so many of us. A sudden medical emergency landed him with a staggering $95,000 bill. Under a traditional plan? He’d be buried in debt. But with America First’s patented health insurance, that nightmare shrank to just $500 out-of-pocket. That’s not a fluke—it’s the promise of coverage that works *for you*, from day one.
Breaking Free from the Chains of Conventional Coverage
