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 originally opened in 1974 as a wildlife center and underwent several rebranding and ownership changes before Six Flags took over in 1999.

"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 believe the site has potential for greater revenue.

The closure of Six Flags America leaves a void, with the next closest amusement park located in New Jersey.

Author's summary: Six Flags America closes permanently.
