US theme park operator says its new water park in Oaxtepec, Mexico, has suffered some damage after the powerful earthquake which struck in the State of Puebla, south of Mexico City.
Following a preliminary assessment, a number of the structures in the water park were damaged, it said.
It gave no timeline on reopening until it knows the full extent of the damage.
The quake struck about 50 miles from the Hurricane Harbor Oaxtepec water park.
Damage to its other theme park in Mexico City appears to be ‘minimal.’
All structures and rides will undergo safety reviews before it announces a reopening date, it said in a statement.
"Six Flags is thankful that all of its employees in Mexico appear to be safe and sound. Six Flags Mexico and Six Flags Hurricane Harbor Oaxtepec were closed at the time of the earthquake," the company said.
"Six Flags extends heartfelt thoughts and prayers to its employees and to all those impacted by the earthquake."
Both parks have full insurance and Six Flags ‘does not currently believe the consequences of the earthquake will be material to its results or prospects.’
