Maryland's Six Flags America Closes for Good

Six Flags America in Bowie, Maryland has shut its doors for good. The site opened in 1974 as a wildlife center and was rebranded several times before Six Flags took over in 1999.

Although it may just be an amusement park, for many, it was a local favorite. The next closest one is in New Jersey. Hundreds visited the park one last time, while others stopped by for a photo op.

"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 said the park generates about $3 million in tax revenue a year but believes it can do better than that. The property site is now for sale.

Author's summary: Six Flags America closes permanently.
