What Six Flags Entertainment Corporation does

In the company’s own words

Six Flags Entertainment Corporation (NYSE: FUN) operates as North America's largest regional amusement park operator. The company's website is investors.sixflags.com. Following the July 2024 merger of Cedar Fair, L.P. and Six Flags Entertainment Corporation, the combined entity now manages 26 amusement parks, 15 separately gated water parks, and nine resort properties across North America, with 37 parks located in the United States, two in Mexico, and two in Canada.

The company generates revenue through multiple streams including admission sales to amusement and water parks, food and merchandise purchases, accommodations at resort properties, and other extra-charge products and services. The business is highly seasonal, with approximately 70 percent of annual attendance and revenue concentrated in the second and third quarters, particularly during the peak vacation months of July and August.

Six Flags operates iconic regional brands including Cedar Point, Knott's Berry Farm, Kings Island, Canada's Wonderland, and Carowinds, alongside 24 parks branded under the Six Flags or Hurricane Harbor names. The company holds exclusive long-term theme park usage rights in the United States (except Las Vegas and Florida), Canada, and Mexico for Warner Bros. and DC Comics animated characters, as well as exclusive amusement and water park usage rights in the United States and Canada for Peanuts comic strip characters.

As of December 31, 2025, the company employed approximately 4,225 full-time employees and approximately 91,000 seasonal and part-time employees. The company's parks serve all top ten designated market areas in the United States and serve diverse demographic groups, particularly families and young people ages 12 through 24.

The company's competitive positioning derives from the uniqueness and perceived quality of rides and attractions, geographic diversity across major metropolitan areas, park atmosphere and cleanliness, and quality food and entertainment offerings. Capital expenditures are strategically planned with an expected minimum annual maintenance and infrastructure investment of approximately 125 million to 150 million dollars. The company also manages Six Flags Qiddiya City in Saudi Arabia and is developing an adjacent water park through licensing and management service agreements.
