Another theme park files for bankruptcy and closes its doors forever as financial struggles mount. Six Flags, a major U.S. operator, plans to shutter multiple underperforming parks following a $1.2 billion loss in 2025. The Maryland park closed in November 2025, signaling a broader retreat from struggling locations.

Meanwhile, Brean Theme Park, an 80-year-old British attraction, faces liquidation after failing to recover from pandemic-induced debt. Located near Somerset, the park—known for free entry and 40+ rides—will shut down permanently, impacting local tourism and employment. Unity Holidies, which leased the land, clarifies Brean is independent but warns of broader industry challenges.
