Six Flags America in Bowie, Maryland has shut its doors for good after officially closing its doors one last time.
The site opened in 1974 as a wildlife center and was sold, bought, and rebranded several times before Six Flags took over in 1999.
For many, the park was a staple in their community, providing jobs and activities for kids during the summer.
"I think they should keep it," park attendee Brian Fox said. "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 a year, but believes the site can be utilized more effectively.
The property is now up for sale, leaving many to wonder what the future holds for the site.
