Maryland's Six Flags America Closes for Good

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.

Author's summary: Six Flags America in Maryland closes permanently.
