Six Flags Entertainment Corporation announced plans to sell seven amusement parks in the United States and Canada as part of a strategy to strengthen its finances and focus on key locations.
Parks Included in the Deal
The parks will be sold to EPR Properties in a deal valued at $331 million. Locations included in the sale are:
- Valleyfair in Minneapolis, Minnesota
- Worlds of Fun in Kansas City, Missouri
- Michigan’s Adventure in Muskegon, Michigan
- Schlitterbahn Waterpark Galveston in Galveston, Texas
- Six Flags St. Louis in Eureka, Missouri
- Six Flags Great Escape in Queensbury, New York
- Six Flags La Ronde in Montreal, Canada
What It Means for Visitors
Six Flags said the parks will continue operating as normal, and guests should not see major disruptions during the ownership transition.
After the sale, the company will still operate 34 parks across 23 locations in North America. The transaction is expected to close later this year.
