The 2027 Season Will Likely be The LAST for California's Great America
See our WinterFest 2017 Report Here
Park News - (9/13/2025) While Six Flags mentions that the 2027 season will likely be the park’s last, Six Flags is now also giving some notice that things are starting to wind down for the park. In a disclosure to the local government, California’s Great America notified that they would be laying off 184 seasonal workers in November, as the park’s 2025 season will be much shorter than it ever has, coming to an end on October 26th compared to last year where it stayed open for all of 2024 and just past the New Year’s Day holiday into January. With the cancellation of all of the park’s fall and winter events (no more Tricks & Treats or Winterfest in 2025) there apparently is no reason to keep the park open into the colder months.
While nothing has been said yet, I do have to wonder if they might use the extra closed time to begin the process of removing any rides that they intend on saving and relocating to other parks as well. It is far easier to bring in the big hardware needed to carefully take rides down for relocation when the park is entirely closed.
(6/1/2025) Based on comments made by Six Flags during an earnings presentation sent to Screamscape, the company does confirm that the 2027 season will likely be the last one for California’s Great America. The current lease now only runs through to June of 2028, so “unless we decide to extend, and exercise one of our options to extend that lease, that park’s last year without that extension would be after the ‘27 season.”
2026 - Nothing new is expected at this time...
