Six Flags America & Hurricane Harbour to close at the end of the 2025 season

[Peet]

The last brand new coaster was Batwing in 2001

That is absolutely mad for such a large park to have had only a couple of small hand-me-downs for the last 24 years, no wonder it's (presumably) not getting the attendance it needs.
I'm pretty gutted about this as it's been unreasonably high on my to-do list for years because of Batwing (loved Nighthawk, really wanted to try the modified version) and Wild One (historic value). In fact on paper it has a really solid line-up, one of the best of the mid-tier SF/CF parks, yet everyone who goes says it's a bad park, I guess I'd have to go there to understand why. Wish they had given us an extra season so I would have half a chance of getting a trip planned .

Ragin' Cajun. Starflyer, Giant Discovery, and NebulaZ

Ita funny because those 4 are the same exact ones I'd been mentioning in my friend group too

I only need to reflect on my trip report (https://coasterforce.com/forums/threads/six-flags-america-in-an-hour-and-a-half.41004/) for why the SFA closure announcement does not move me, but it's always a bummer to lose any major park, even a lower Tier 3 type.

While the coaster lineup is lackluster, there are some I'd love to see another day:

• Joker's Jinx - A nice Premier Spaghetti Bowl would go a long way in other, lesser Six Flags parks.
• Ragin' Cajun - it's already a relocation, and a travle coaster at that.
• Firebird - it's the OG B&M, and would be sad to see meet the scrapheap.
• Wild One - Already a relocation, and one of the world's oldest remaining wooden coasters; would be a loss of history also to be put out to pasture.

While I'd love to defend Superman or Batwing - they are either too large or genre already on decline to say there's merit.
