Maryland is facing its first summer without Six Flags America. Here's where families are heading instead.

This summer marks Maryland's first summer without Six Flags America since it opened in 1998.  

 The amusement park, based in Bowie, closed its doors in November, leaving the state without a major attraction.  

In April, an investment group including Maryland-native and NBA Star Kevin Durant purchased the site of the former Six Flags America amusement park, according to Prince George's County Executive Asiha Braveboy.  

It remains unclear what Durant's group is planning to do with the former amusement park. 

Families in the area are now looking at other options in and around the state.
