California's Great America faces imminent closure in 2027
Posted
Unless Six Flags decides to renew the lease at California's Great America, the over-100-acre park will close in October 2027 after the Halloween season. The park first opened in 1976 under the Marriott Corporation as Marriott’s Great America.

Knott's is probably #2. Almost certainly more profitable than Magic Mountain.
Knott's was a gold mine for CF. They found the sweet spot in year round schedule and staffing. I'm VERY interested to see how the new combined season pass affects SFMM and Knott's. It's less than 60 miles between the two parks, with a huge percentage of the population living between the two parks. This was one of the top park pairs where the merged pass might actually hurt, from a gate revenue perspective. (I know I was able to drop my Diamond Deluxe VIP with cheese SF pass this year and just use my CF pass).
would love to see both chains AP lists pre merger and bounce of the 2025 list and see how many people were on both lists previously.
you would think it would be half the revenue, but not if you raise the gate. Ensure you are collecting more than they would have been paying for both parks standalone.
I really want to get back here before it closes - had such a great time there last year.
Nothing to see here. Move along.
