Six Flags Entertainment Corporation is preparing to open all of its theme parks and waterparks and welcome guests back for the 2021 season. The company is celebrating its 60th anniversary season with safety at the forefront and an impressive list of record-breaking roller coasters, thrilling rides and water attractions, innovative special events, and tasty, new culinary offerings.
“Our guests and team members are ready for the return of fun and signature Six Flags thrills in 2021,” said senior VP of park operations Bonnie Weber. “Last year, we set the standard for operating our parks safely, and entertained millions of guests in adherence to government, and CDC health guidelines at 21 of our 26 parks. We offered a local and outdoor entertainment venue spanning dozens to hundreds of acres where families and friends could safely spend time together. We kept our guests and team members safe by requiring masks to be worn in the parks, providing contactless temperature and security screenings, enhancing our cleaning and sanitization measures, and closely monitoring attendance throughout operating hours in order to maintain proper social distancing. Now we are hiring and preparing to reopen every Six Flags park in our system as we continue to work with state and government officials to set firm reopening dates for our parks in California, Illinois, Massachusetts, Mexico City, and Canada.”
Park reopening dates are subject to change based on local, state, and federal guidelines related to COVID-19.
Six Flags’ comprehensive reopening plan, which the company developed in consultation with epidemiologists, meets or exceeds federal, state, and local guidelines for sanitization, hygiene, and social distancing protocols. The plan sets standards for executing at the highest levels of hygiene and social distancing protocols.
For the 2021 season, the company is unveiling an array of exciting new offerings in a safe, outdoor environment. Highlights including the debut of world record-breaking single-rail coaster Jersey Devil Coaster at Six Flags Great Adventure; new triple looping coaster The Riddler Mindbender at Six Flags Over Georgia, water coaster Tsunami Surge at Six Flags Great America and Dare Devil Dive Flying Machines at Six Flags Fiesta Texas.
