Six Flags [FUN] Corporate Discussion Thread

It's still just a five year deal.  Unless they've always done five year deals, they could be evaluating what to do with the IP going forward.

The contract had a 5-year extension clause that they chose to utilize.  This contract was initially agreed upon in 2017, so "still just" an 8 year deal.  Nobody said anything about them "re-evaluating the license" then because it's a stupid idea driven by click-bait and division-inducing philosophy.  Don't encourage it.

You can dream all you want, but there is no rational reason to believe that SFEC is actively considering not continuing to have Peanuts-themed kids areas at Legacy CF parks at any point in the future.

They don't have money to build new roller coaster let alone Retheme what 6 or 7 Snoopy lands. I am not sure if all Cedar fair parks have one.

Why are people quoting The US Sun as a credible source?

I  don't know why people quote  any media outlets as completely credible sources.

Not to derail this conversation about passes. Seems like i missed something that people keep saying Peanuts characters might be leaving  cedar fair parks? I rad that they own the rights till 2030 for now? 

Not sure if i missed something else. 

You didn't derail. It's the SF corporate thread and you have every right to bring up any topic relating to SF as a company. Even I'm getting tired of my own posts about the legacy memberships, just haven't been able to get a satisfactory answer. No worries

So last post about the food on legacy SF memberships until I simply try it out sometime next year and see if it works. I was as an ACE event at SFSTL and asked management at the lunch. One person flat out told me he had no idea if it was carrying over or not. The other (a very long time employee of the park) simply repeated the "all pass add ons" will be usable at all parks. Problem being this isn't an add on. It was included as part of the membership upon purchase of the membership. I know for a fact not everyone with a membership has the same food offerings, it depended on when you bought it, so.............that's where I think the confusion is. I really don't think they know and it will be a matter of just waiting to see if it is accepted or not.

At Six Flags, creating unforgettable moments has always been at the heart of everything we do. Every twist, turn, splash, and scream-worthy drop is driven by one mission: bringing joy to millions of guests and families year after year. Sometimes, staying true to that mission means making thoughtful decisions about where we focus our energy so we can keep delivering the thrills and experiences our guests expect.

Today, we’re sharing an important update about the future of Six Flags—one that strengthens our foundation, sharpens our focus, and supports long-term growth across our parks.
Streamlining Our Portfolio to Focus on What Matters Most

As part of our ongoing strategy to optimize and strengthen our park portfolio, Six Flags has entered into definitive agreements to sell seven parks to EPR Properties. These parks include:

• Michigan’s Adventure (Grand Rapids, MI)
• Schlitterbahn Waterpark Galveston (Galveston, TX)
• Six Flags Great Escape (Queensbury, NY)
• Six Flags La Ronde (Montreal, QC)
• Six Flags St. Louis (St. Louis, MO)
• Valleyfair (Minneapolis, MN)
• Worlds of Fun (Kansas City, MO)

This step allows us to concentrate on the Six Flags parks with the greatest potential for innovation, expansion, and elevated guest experiences. That means by focusing today, we’re building the foundation for a stronger, more exciting future.
What This Means for Our Guests

First and foremost: guest experience remains a top priority.

EPR Properties will partner with experienced operators—Enchanted Parks for the six U.S. parks and La Ronde Operations, Inc. for La Ronde—to ensure a smooth and seamless transition. Here’s what you can expect:

• All seven parks will continue normal operations through the 2026 season.
• All 2026 season passes and active memberships will be honored throughout 2026, including multi‑park access.
• EPR retains the right to use the Six Flags brand through 2026, which means you will continue to see the same names, signage, and experiences during this transition period.

In short, that means uninterrupted fun. Learn more in our FAQs at the end of this blog.
A Thoughtful Decision

We understand how meaningful these parks are to the communities they serve and to the guests who have grown up visiting them. Our teams at these locations have created countless memories, and they are an important part of the Six Flags family.

We are confident in the future of these parks under the care of EPR and its operating partners, who have strong experience managing parks of this scale. At the same time, this decision allows Six Flags to invest more deeply in the parks with the greatest opportunity for growth and innovation.
