Six Flags exits seven parks in $331M deal to sharpen growth focus

Six Flags Entertainment Corp. has agreed to sell seven of its amusement parks to real estate investor EPR Properties for $331 million as part of a portfolio simplification to reduce debt and reinvest in higher-growth parks like Carowinds; closing is expected by the end of Q1 or early Q2, with EPR partnering to run the US and Canadian parks. The move comes after a difficult 2025 with a $1.6 billion net loss and will allow continued investment in remaining parks while Carowinds continues to update facilities and experiences, including the Carolina Harbor Waterpark reopening May 23.
