Six Flags is selling about half a dozen of its parks.
The company said Thursday that it is streamlining its portfolio by selling six U.S. parks and one in Canada to EPR Properties.
According to Six Flags, there are definitive agreements in place for parks that include:
Michigan’s Adventure (Muskegon, Michigan)
Schlitterbahn Waterpark Galveston (Galveston, Texas)
Six Flags Great Escape (Queensbury, New York)
Six Flags La Ronde (Montreal, Canada)
Six Flags St. Louis (St. Louis, Missouri)
Valleyfair (Minneapolis, Minnesota)
Worlds of Fun (Kansas City, Missouri)
“This step allows us to concentrate on the Six Flags parks with the greatest potential for innovation, expansion and elevated guest experiences,” a company spokesperson said in the announcement. “We’re building the foundation for a stronger, more exciting future.”
The parks being sold will continue normal operations through the 2026 season, and season passes and active memberships will continue to be honored, Six Flags said.
EPR also retains the right to use the Six Flags brand through the end of the year.
The theme park operator said EPR Properties will be working to enhance the parks it will be taking over while ensuring a seamless transition.
“We understand how meaningful these parks are to the communities they serve and to the guests who have grown up visiting them,” Six Flags said. “We are confident in the future of these parks under the care of EPR and its operating partners.”
Six Flags Entertainment Corporation was operating a combined 42 properties following a 2024 merger with Cedar Fair.
