They probably couldn't find a buyer for these parks that wanted to operate them and will sell them for the land value. Herschend had to buy all of the Palace parks as a package, now they are unloading the parks they don't want. The Boomers parks in California, Castle Park, Raging Waters Los Angeles, and Wet 'n Wild Emerald Pointe were sold to Lucky Strike Entertainment. The Cartoon Network Hotel is dropping the license and being remodeled and rebranded to Dutch Wonderland Inn.

Six Flags and Cedar Fair Merge
DiamondbackFan replied to IndyGuy4KI's topic in Kings Island Central Newsroom
Activist investor, Land & Buildings, is pushing the company to sell off the land under the parks again. They sent out a letter to shareholders today. https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20250925248557/en/Land-Buildings-Issues-Letter-Detailing-Why-Now-Is-the-Time-to-Finally-Unlock-Six-Flags-Substantial-Trapped-Real-Estate-Value -
Six Flags and Cedar Fair Merge
DiamondbackFan replied to IndyGuy4KI's topic in Kings Island Central Newsroom
It sounds like that is part of the plan. Non core parks they own: Six Flags St. Louis, Six Flags Discovery Kingdom, Six Flags Great Escape, Valleyfair, Worlds of Fun, Michigan's Adventure, Schlitterbahn New Braunfels. La Ronde is a ground lease and Six Flags could sell all of the rides and operating rights there. -
Kings Island to add “family thrill” attraction in 2026
DiamondbackFan replied to BoddaH1994's topic in Kings Island
Ride Entertainment Systems Inc was on the last notice of commencement and they work with Lagotronics Projects. https://ohwarren.fidlar.com/OHWarren/AvaWeb/#/image https://www.lagotronicsprojects.com/en https://rideentertainment.com/lagotronics/ -
You can take the Canada's Wonderland 2026 project off the board. Six Flags 2026 capex is being reduced to $400 million. On the earning call, Zimmerman hinted at this project being delayed or cancelled because they don't think they have gotten the full benefit from the 2025 capex yet. Canada's Wonderland attendance is way up since AlpenFury opened and the coaster is a massive success.

The press release for all of the new additions was Thursday August 15th last year. I wouldn't be surprised if they put out the press release on Thursday August 14th this year. -
