Maryland's Six Flags America Closes for Good
Six Flags America in Bowie, Maryland has officially closed its doors for the last time. The site, which opened in 1974 as a wildlife center, was sold and rebranded several times before Six Flags took over in 1999.
The park holds a special place for many, being a local amusement park. The next closest one is located in New Jersey. On its last day, hundreds of visitors attended the park, while others stopped by for a photo opportunity.
"I think they should keep it," said park attendee Brian Fox. "It definitely gives a lot of kids jobs, things to do during the summer. Next year, what are they gonna do?"
Prince George's County leaders noted that the park generates about $3 million in tax revenue annually, but believe the site has the potential to do better. The property is now up for sale.
Author's summary: Six Flags America closes permanently.
