India, May 2 -- Six Flags Entertainment Corporation on Thursday announced that it will close Six Flags America and Hurricane Harbor in Bowie, Maryland, after 2025. CEO and President Richard A. Zimmerman explained that the two properties, spanning 500 acres, are 'not a strategic fit with the company's long-term growth plan'. However, he provided an update on what will happen next.

Zimmerman said that the company has engaged CBRE, a commercial real estate services and investments firm, to market the property for sale.

"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," Six Flags President & CEO said.
