Six Flags indicated that it will soon be able to close one of his amusement parks on the west coast, only a few months after the company announced that his Maryland Park will close his gates this fall.
Six Flags California’s Great America-A 112 Hectare Theme Park that was opened almost 50 years ago in Santa Clara, California-Zal in October 2027 will close, after the Halloween season and prior to the end of the current lease agreement, People Magazine reported.
“Unless we decide to expand and execute one of our options to extend that lease, that park would be last year without that extension after the season ’27,” said Six Flags CFO Brian Withowow on the Six Flags Investor Day 2025 of the company on 20 May.

“At the moment we are still in the planning phase and we are working together with stakeholders and we involve the community,” said a spokesperson for Six Flags Fox Business in an e -mail. “Until we know more, we will stay focused on the great season that is already going on in the park and the events that are in front of us.”

In 2022, Cedar Fair sold that country to real estate company Prologis for around $ 310 million with a lease agreement. That lease is planned to end in 2028, with an option to extend the duration by another five years, as noted in a press release of 2022 from Cedar Fair.
