Six Flags Sells Parks to EPR Properties Amid Financial Struggles
What happened
Six Flags completed the sale of its parks to EPR Properties on October 14, 2026. This sale occurred as Six Flags faced mounting losses and merger-related debt. The company's shares had recently fallen to their lowest closing level since 2009 following a fatal incident at Six Flags Over Georgia.

Why it matters
The sale follows a period where the combined company, formed by the 2024 merger with Cedar Fair, struggled to achieve consistent profitability. Six Flags' second-quarter results showed a net loss of $203 million, which was more than double the loss recorded a year earlier.
