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

Six Flags America Closes Its Doors

The Six Flags America location in Maryland 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 some, like Washington, D.C. resident Lise Bruneau, the park holds sentimental value. It's where she started taking her family 16 years ago and where her son learned to swim, rekindling her own childhood love for amusement parks.

"We will feel its loss," she said. "I feel it already."

Six Flags America and its accompanying water park, Hurricane Harbor, closed permanently on Sunday, drawing a crowd of all ages for a final day of nostalgia.
