Six Flags America: General Discussion

That's a big shame. It was part of Washington DC's transit system, so it was one of the easiest American parks to get to on public transport, and when I went a couple of years ago, the magic show was one of the best theme park shows that I'd seen.
 
Wow! I went there last year for the first (and last) time ever. Superman is in my top 5 coasters! Also home to one of the few (perhaps last) upwards facing flying coasters.

I wonder what will happen to all the rides?

I suspect the older ones will simply be scrapped and anything worth keeping will be moved over to other six flags parks.
 
At least Cedar Flags have given notice with this one!

In a way it's probably not overly surprising, it's one of the Six Flags parks that has not received much investment compared to others and I assume has lower visitor numbers. I am surprised however that there is not more potential for a successful major theme park on the doorstep of Washington DC. The closest major park is Kings Dominion but that is 80 miles away.

This will certainly be the end for the last remaining Flying Dutchman though. I got to ride two of them, it would have been nice to complete the set but alas.
