PLEASE NOTE: Latest update August 8, 2020. This list is updated whenever there is a new announcement, so although it was originally written on June 12 it is constantly being added to when needed. Latest Update August 8, 2020.
At a time when COVID-19 lock down is slowly being relaxed around the US, we are hearing news daily of more and more theme parks that are now getting the green light to reopen with reopening dates being released.
We know from the reopening of Universal Orlando Resort on June 5, that as we return to our favourite theme park they will look and feel different. We outlined the measures that will be in place across Six Flags Parks as and when they reopen, Six Flags Reopening to Include Required Masks, Temperature Checks, Social Distancing and More, due to the new health and safety guidelines that have had to be put into place in order to adhere to government guidelines in order to keep employees and guests as safe as possible at a time when COVID-19 is still present.
Our aim is to keep you updated with all the announcements regarding reopening dates for theme parks in the US, UK and around the world.
We have rounded up all of the Six Flags theme park announcements from this week and have collated a list of the announced reopening dates so far. If you are hoping to head back to your local Six Flags park, then check out the list below.
