Six Flags America Closes Its Doors
Six Flags' Maryland location has closed, leaving longtime visitors to bid farewell. The park's parent company, which manages over 40 amusement parks across North America, announced the closure in May.
For Lise Bruneau, a Washington, D.C. resident, Six Flags America holds a special place in her heart. She started taking her family there 16 years ago, where her son learned to swim, and it rekindled her childhood love for amusement parks.
“We will feel its loss,” she said. “I feel it already.”
The park, along with the water park Hurricane Harbor in Bowie, closed permanently on Sunday, drawing a crowd of all ages for a final day of reminiscing.
