Posted on May 02, 2025 by Neil Cole
Six Flags Entertainment Corporation, the largest amusement park operator in North America, today announced that it will close Six Flags America and Hurricane Harbor in Bowie, Maryland, after the 2025 operating season. The property, which is approximately 500 acres, will be marketed for redevelopment as part of Six Flags’ ongoing portfolio optimization program. The company has engaged CBRE, a global leader in commercial real estate services and investments, to market the property for sale.
With the closure of the park also comes the final days of all the rides and attracttions including the Superman: Ride of Steel steel hyper roller coaster. The Intamin designed coaster originally opened on May 13th, 2000 and has a mirror-image at Six Flags Darien Lake with the similar name, Ride of Steel which opened in 1999.
"As part of our comprehensive review of our park portfolio, we have determined that Six Flags America and Hurricane Harbor are not a strategic fit with the company's long-term growth plan," said Six Flags President & CEO Richard A. Zimmerman. "After reviewing a number of options, we believe that marketing the property for redevelopment will generate the highest value and return on investment. We anticipate strong interest in the property and will continue to strategically pursue portfolio optimization opportunities as we work to unlock the full value of our portfolio."
In addition to Superman: Ride of Steel, other DC-themed attractions that will be closing at the end of the season include Batwing Coaster, Harley Quinn Spinsanity, Riddle Me This, The Joker's Jinx, The Penguin's Blizzard River. and Wonder Woman: Lasso of Truth. At this time, it remains to be seen if any of the rides will be relocated to other Six Flags parks.
Fans looking to visit Six Flags America and enjoy one last ride on Superman: Ride of Steel have until the final day of park operations on Sunday, November 2nd, 2025.
