Six Flags America

Maryland, Washington D.C.

Six Flags America, located in Bowie, Maryland, was the Washington D.C. and Baltimore area’s premier theme park for over four decades. Originally opened in 1974 as The Wildlife Preserve and later Wild World, it evolved through several transformations before becoming part of the Six Flags chain in 1992. The park featured a mix of thrilling roller coasters, family attractions, and water rides across themed areas like Gotham City, Mardi Gras, and Chesapeake. Known for its blend of classic wooden coasters and high-intensity steel rides, Six Flags America offered generations of visitors a full day of fun and adrenaline. Its closing marks the end of a regional icon that brought countless memories to thrill-seekers across the Mid-Atlantic.
