Six Flags Names New CEO
DiamondbackFan replied to DonHelbig's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
This is such a bad take. You might want to do some research on John Reilly and what he accomplished while he was at SeaWorld Parks and Resorts and Palace Entertainment/Parques Reunidos. -
Six Flags and Cedar Fair Merge
DiamondbackFan replied to IndyGuy4KI's topic in Kings Island Central Newsroom
We might get a new CEO announcement soon. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/jana-partners-provides-six-flags-131500178.html "NEW YORK, Nov. 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- JANA Partners LLC ("JANA"), which along with its partners collectively own an economic interest of approximately 9% in Six Flags Entertainment Corporation (NYSE: FUN) ("Six Flags" or the "Company"), today announced that Dave Habiger has de-grouped from the JANA-led investor group to enable him to pursue a complementary opportunity involving the Company." -

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

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.
