As Six Flags’ Maryland location closes shop, longtime visitors say goodbye

Six Flags America Closes Its Doors

Six Flags, the parent company of more than 40 amusement parks across North America, announced the closure of its sole Maryland location in May.

For many, including Washington, D.C. resident Lise Bruneau, Six Flags America was more than just an amusement park. It held generations of memories, including where her son first learned to swim.

“We will feel its loss,” she said of the park. “I feel it already.”

The park, along with its water park Hurricane Harbor in Bowie, closed permanently on Sunday, drawing a crowd of all ages for a final day of reminiscing.
