Six Flags is getting parks ready for the 2021 season

“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,” said senior vice president of park operations, Bonnie Weber. “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. Our guests and team members are ready for the return of fun and signature Six Flags thrills in 2021.”
