Six Flags Entertainment Corporation has announced the sale of seven of its amusement parks to EPR Properties for $331 million in cash. The deal is part of Six Flags' plan to focus on its strongest performing parks and improve its financial position.

The parks being sold include Valleyfair in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Worlds of Fun in Kansas City, Missouri, Michigan's Adventure in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Schlitterbahn Waterpark Galveston in Galveston, Texas, Six Flags St. Louis in St. Louis, Missouri, Six Flags Great Escape in Queensbury, New York, and Six Flags La Ronde in Montreal, Quebec.

Together, these parks hosted about 4.5 million guests in 2025, generating roughly $260 million in revenue and $45 million in adjusted EBITDA.

Six Flags will use the proceeds from the sale to pay down debt, which is expected to slightly improve its financial stability.

President and CEO John Reilly said the sale is part of the company's plan to focus on parks with the most growth potential.
