Now part of the EPR Properties portfolio are:

  • Valleyfair (Minneapolis, Minnesota)

Combined, the above theme parks welcomed around 4.5 million visitors for the full year ended 31 December 2025, generating approximately $260m in net revenue.

To run these destinations, EPR plans to partner with Enchanted Parks and will retain the right to use the Six Flags brand through the end of 2026.

EPR will collaborate with La Ronde Operations, Inc. to manage Six Flags La Ronde in Canada.

Six Flags' optimisation strategy

"This divestiture reflects Six Flags’ disciplined approach to portfolio optimization and the decisive action we are taking to concentrate our capital and operational focus on properties with the greatest long-term growth potential," said John Reilly, Six Flags' president and CEO.
"This portfolio refinement further positions Six Flags to execute more effectively in 2026 and beyond, and I am confident in the opportunities ahead as we continue taking steps to drive improved operating performance, margin expansion, free cash flow generation, and earnings growth."
