You can close your business any time you choose to without explaining to anyone why you chose to close.

Ok, let's be intellectually honest. First, the park plans on a daily attendance of up to ~250,000 guests. Do you have any idea how much money it takes to maintain a staff of 30,000 cast members? Let's assume the park is 100% paid for, and maintence, utilities, insurance and general upkeep costs are zero. We are talking about over $2.7 Million/day in payroll alone (30,000 employees, 10 hrs of park operation, average pay of $9/hr; assuming NO benefits, vacation, sick or holiday pay).

Now, supposing Disney does close the park on a 'Gay Day' .... the group will simply re-schedule. So, what have you accomplished? By closing, you have alienated 90+% of your target demographic; ruined a good share of family vacations that have been planned for months, if not years. You have lost Millions in revenue, and unless you want to bankrupt yourself, you will eventually miss a 'scheduled' Gay Day. Either way, you can't stop them.

Didn't say anything about disney. We were talking about Six Flags over Texas. Disney is already in the death spiral of perversion and nothing short of a total collapse and restructuring of the company (including a purge of all homosexuals and homosexual enablers working there) will ever bring the families back.

the group will simply re-schedule.

And this is why it's an important distinction. Disney gay gays are an event to themselves. The attack on safe family entertainment in Texas is tied to a specific gay pride weekend where gay days at six fags is not the main event. It takes little effort to find out when the rest of pervert fest is scheduled and then close down for that weekend.

So, what have you accomplished? By closing, you have alienated 90+% of your target demographic;

No. You've only alienated 2% of the population and maybe 5% of your targeted demographic. Since sodomites and child molestors are most definitely not your target audience for a family frinedly park who cares if they are alienated. Post a sign saying something like "Six Flags is closed for maintenance this weekend in order to avoid sexual perverts from rampaging through our privately owned facility. We will reopen on xx/xx/xx as a family safe entertainment park"

Some will be ticked off but most will appreciate the effort to keep our kids safe from being exposed to homosexual behavior

You have lost Millions in revenue,

I'd wager that six flags doesn't take in millions over a single weekend, and since they have to close for maintenance sometime they might as well close when undesirables are planning to overrun the park

Either way, you can't stop them.

That's what they told the hotel owners for black spring break. The hotel owners closed for maintenance and made the lost revenue back up quickly AND they had no overwhelming costs to their facilities (vandalism repairs etc) or reputation. A family oriented facility in the USA can not afford to lose it's reputation. Disney did and it's in a slow death spiral. If I owned a park I wouldn't want to join them.
