US EditionShakopee's Valleyfair Sold as Six Flags Unloads Seven Parks for $331M
Six Flags will sell seven parks for $331 million to EPR Properties while keeping branding through 2026 and leasing six U.S. parks to Enchanted Parks for operations.
- On March 5, Six Flags announced it will sell seven parks to EPR Properties for $331 million, with branding retained through 2026.
- Amid post-merger financial pressures, Six Flags says CEO John Reilly, who assumed the role on Dec. 8, framed the sale as sharpening focus.
- EPR Properties said it will partner with Enchanted Parks, operator for six U.S. properties, and La Ronde Operations, Inc., to run the parks.
- On an after-tax basis, net proceeds should slightly improve leverage, as Six Flags said cash proceeds will be used to pay down debt, and last year the seven parks hosted 4.5 million guests.
- The sale is expected to close by the end of March, with Six Flags planning to operate 34 remaining parks for the 2026 season and invest in new rides and infrastructure at retained parks.
