Maryland thrill-seekers are about to lose a major destination. Six Flags announced this week that Six Flags America and Hurricane Harbor, located in Bowie, Maryland, will permanently close after the 2025 season.

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.

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.
