Six Flags Entertainment Corporation, or simply Six Flags, is an American amusement park corporation headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina, United States. It was formed on July 2, 2024, following a merger between longtime rivals Cedar Fair and the former Six Flags company. The combined company owns and operates 51 properties throughout North America, including amusement parks, water parks, and resorts.

History

Pre-merger

Six Flags

Main article: Six Flags (1961–2024)

Six Flags Theme Parks originated in 1957 with the creation of The Great Southwest Corporation by Angus G. Wynne and other investors, who would go on to open the chain's original park, Six Flags Over Texas, in August 1961. After the Pennsylvania Railroad gained a controlling stake in the company's shares, a handful of new park were constructed and multiple independent parks purchased over the following two decades. Following the acquisition of Marriott Corporation's Great America theme park in 1984, Six Flags acquired the rights to feature Warner Bros.' Looney Tunes animated characters at their properties; Time Warner subsequently purchased much of the company and was its sole owner from 1993 to 1995. Six Flags Theme Parks, Inc. was later bought out by Premier Parks – an Oklahoma-based real estate firm and theme park chain – on April 1, 1998, for $1.86 billion. ^[4] Premier began to apply the Six Flags name to several of their existing properties in North America and Europe, eventually fully assuming the brand name in 2000.

Throughout the 2000's, Six Flags began to suffer from growing debt and organizational bloat, eventually first resorting to selling off its European parks in 2004. Some of the company's largest investors grew frustrated with Six Flags and demanded change; Daniel Snyder's Red Zone, LLC successfully gained control of Six Flags' board of directors in 2005 by means of a proxy battle. New management continued to sell off various American amusement park locations throughout 2006-2007, although their cash flow continued to decrease, falling $120 million annually under Red Zone's board. Weighed down by the financial crisis of 2007–2008 and the New York Stock Exchange's decision to delist their stock, Six Flags filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in 2009 but continued to operate the parks as normal. Six Flags re-emerged as Six Flags Entertainment Corp. on May 3, 2010, moving head offices from New York City to Grand Prairie, Texas and allowing lenders to control 92% of the company in exchange for canceling $1.13 billion in debt. ^[5]

Jim Reid-Anderson was instated as chairman, president and chief executive officer (CEO) on August 13, 2010 and succeeded by Mike Spanos in late 2019. New initiatives were launched to build Six Flags theme parks in global markets; the previously cancelled Six Flags Dubai was revived in 2014 before being called off again in 2018. Six Flags Zhejiang and Six Flags Chongqing both began construction in China before a declining real estate and the collapse of its local investment firm in 2020 forced both projects to be sold on to other developers. The COVID-19 pandemic also hindered Six Flags' operations during 2020, forcing many parks to remain closed for the year. Mike Spanos stepped down in 2021, allowing chairman Selim Bassoul to assume the role of CEO. Seeking reinvention, Bassoul announced a new strategy favoring guest experience over capital investments; this meant raising prices in order to lower daily park crowds, thus improving the park experience for higher-paying guests. ^[6] The initiative and various comments made by Bassoul proved controversial with shareholders, and was abandoned in November 2022 after park attendance plummeted by 33%. ^{[7] [8] [9] [10]}

Cedar Fair

Main article: Cedar Fair § History

Merger

Previous unsuccessful attempts had been made to assimilate Cedar Fair in the decade leading up to the merger. One such deal with Apollo Global Management fell apart in April 2010 ^[11] October 2, 2019, Reuters reported that Six Flags had first approached Cedar Fair with a cash-and-stock acquisition offer, although the proposal was quickly rebuffed. ^{[12] [13]} In February 2022, SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment (now United Parks & Resorts) made an unsolicited all-cash bid to buy Cedar Fair for $3.4 billion; the offer was rejected two weeks later. ^{[14] [15]}

North America

Park	Location	Year opened	Fate	Year closed/Sold	Notes
Admiral	St. Louis, Missouri	1987	Closed/Sold	1987	The Admiral was a excursion steamboat that had previously operated on the Mississippi River that was re-purposed by Six Flags and opened as an entertainment center in 1987, featuring several music venues, a restaurant, and the "Birdland Theater," a set of 14 animated, mechanical birds that played music. The venture missed a payment on its electricity bill in November of that year and was subsequently closed and later renovated into a floating casino. [27]
American Adventures	Marietta, Georgia	1990	Closed	2008	This park was located adjacent to Six Flags White Water, and was marketed to families with young children. The park retained the same name throughout its entire lifespan, due to it being far smaller than the average Six Flags park. In June 2008, Six Flags leased the park to Zuma Holdings, who then separated the park from White Water. In February 2010, the park announced that it would close until further notice, citing “Reasons beyond our control”. The park's permanent closure was soon confirmed in March. After the park's closure, Six Flags purchased back the lease and now uses the site as an employee area. The park sat abandoned until the removal of the rides in 2017.
Six Flags Worlds of Adventure	Aurora, Ohio	1887	Sold	2004	Geauga Lake park was purchased by Premier Parks in 1995 prior to its purchase of the entire Six Flags chain. Re-branded as Six Flags Ohio for its opening season in 2000. It was then renamed Six Flags Worlds of Adventure when Six Flags annexed the adjacent SeaWorld Ohio marine park in 2001. In 2004, the entire property was sold to competing amusement park operator Cedar Fair. The park was closed after the 2007 season, but the attached water park remained open until the end of the 2016 season.
Movieland Wax Museum	Buena Park, California	1962	Sold	1985	Six Flags purchased this wax museum in 1970. The company sold the venue in 1985, and later sold all of its holdings and moved many of the sets and wax figures to California, but sold the original clothing and props to the American Musical Academy of Arts Association. The venue eventually closed down on October 31, 2005, figures and props were auctioned off in 2006, and the building was demolished in 2016.
Six Flags AstroWorld	Houston, Texas	1968	Closed	2005	Acquired in 1974. The park closed on October 30, 2005, and was demolished between late 2005 and 2006.
Six Flags Atlantis	Hollywood, Florida	1982	Destroyed	1989	Six Flags purchased this water park in 1984. Six Flags sold off the property in 1989 and was renamed to "Atlantis the Water Kingdom" by the new owners. It was closed in 1992 after the events of Hurricane Andrew and was demolished in 1994.
Six Flags AutoWorld	Flint, Michigan	1984	Closed	1985	This indoor entertainment venue closed after only six months by its investors. The park did reopen under new ownership, but only operated scarcely until 1994, when it was closed permanently and was demolished in 1997.
Six Flags Elitch Gardens	Denver, Colorado	1995	Sold	2007	This park was owned by Premier Parks when it purchased the Six Flags chain. It was sold to PARC Management in the 2007 property sell-off.
Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom	Louisville, Kentucky	1987	Lease ended	2010	This park was purchased by Premier Parks in 1997 prior to its purchase of the entire Six Flags chain. In February 2010, Six Flags announced it would close the park due to a dispute with the Kentucky State Fair Board, from which Six Flags leased much of the park's land area and attractions. [28] In 2014, Kentucky Kingdom reopened under new management. Herschend Family Entertainment, who operate and are part owners of Dollywood, took over management of Kentucky Kingdom in 2021.
Six Flags New Orleans	New Orleans, Louisiana	2000	Destroyed	2005	Originally opened as Jazzland, this park was bought in 2002 and re-branded as Six Flags New Orleans in 2003. It was closed after severe damage from Hurricane Katrina in 2005. The city of New Orleans sued Six Flags in 2009 for not making progress to re-open and for not making required lease payments; [29] Ultimately, the site was turned over to the city along with a cash payment. [30] In 2011, the city made plans to auction the site and all remaining rides and equipment. [31]
Six Flags Power Plant	Baltimore, Maryland	1985	Closed	1987	Located in the Inner Harbor district of Baltimore, this was Six Flags' second attempt at an indoor amusement park after AutoWorld, but it only operated for one and a half years; the attached nightclub P.T. Flagg's lasted until 1990. The site of the park was redeveloped into a Hard Rock Cafe, Barnes & Noble (closed 2020), Gold's Gym (closed 2010) and the world's first ESPN Zone location (closed 2010 and replaced by Phillips Seafood).
