California's Great America, a theme park in Santa Clara, California, is due to close after its 2027 season, with Six Flags declining to extend the land lease, The Independent reported.
The park operates on a 112-acre property that Cedar Fair sold to Prologis for $310 million in 2022. Cedar Fair arranged for the park to remain on the site under a lease that is scheduled to end in June 2028. The Independent reported that Six Flags will not renew the agreement.
The park opened in 1976 as Marriott's Great America. It changed hands several times, became part of Cedar Fair's amusement park portfolio and joined Six Flags when the companies merged in 2024, according to The Independent.
Six Flags has set the final season to start in March and end on Labor Day, Sept. 6, 2027. Park officials told the outlet that group visits, corporate events and activities for student and youth groups will continue during the season. Six Flags will release the calendar, including specific operating days and hours, later, The Independent reported.
