History

Planning & Construction (2012-2017)

In the early 2010's, a group of people in the amusement industry began to work on a concept for a new amusement park in New Territories. The country had lacked any amusement or theme parks. Opening one would be big for the country. The plan was shown to Six Flags, which agreed to take on the project. The company looked in the four major parts of the country; Ashwood, Bridgewater/Red Mesa, Quincy and Sterry. Ashwood was ultimately decided. The plot of land chosen for the site was previously used for a junk yard. In 2015, the lot was cleared out and replaced with a grassy foundation. In early 2016, actual work on the park began. The park would open to the public on May 20th, 2017 with six rides; all but one were relocated from other parks.

Expansions (2017-Present)

The park performed very well within its first year. The main complaints were a lack of things to do in the park. In 2018, Six Flags opened FearFall Tower, an Intamin freefall drop tower that was relocated from Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom. Only the tower itself was reused as all the cars, cable and track were replaced due to the ride being involved in a major accident in 2007. The park did not open for the 2020 or most of the 2021 season due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In September 2021, the park reopened under reduced capacity. In 2022, the park fully reopened. A new dark ride, Mysterious Mansion, would open in June of that year. In 2023, the Boomerang coaster was temporarily removed to make way for Sidewinder, an old and refurbished Arrow Launched Loop that was relocated from Six Flags America. A new main street would also open with new shops and restaurants. In 2024, the park opened Twister, an older style classic wooden roller coaster. This year, Six Flags debuted their Fright Fest Halloween event at the park. A new event was also debuted; Six Flags Ashwood Holiday Fest. This was a similar event to Holiday In The Park, seen at other Six Flags parks. Alongside Holiday Fest, a new railroad attraction opened; Six Flags Express. The south station was opened as the north station was still under construction and in an area that was seeing other work being done. The north station opened the following year. In 2025, Boomerang was reinstalled and reopened. The main entrance was also rebuilt in 2025, beginning in March and would be complete by June.

Mega Expansion (2026)

On July 26th, 2025, Six Flags announced that the park would be getting three brand new rides, a new food court, and some things coming over from other parks, such as THE FLASH Pass and Holiday In The Park, which would replaced Rapid Ride and Holiday Fest respectively. Mind Eraser and FearFall Tower were announced to be moving to different parts of the park to make room for certain attractions. Half Pipe was also announced to be closing permanently, making it to be the first ride in Six Flags Ashwood to be removed from the park completely. Six Flags did say that it would see a new life at Six Flags Great Lake, a planned park for Quincy in New Territories.
