Six flags announced it's selling seven amusement parks across North America to EPR properties for $331 million. The parks up for sale include Valley Fair in Minnesota, Worlds of Fun and Six Flags, St. Louis in Missouri, Michigan's Adventure, Schlitterbond, Water Park in Texas, Six Flags Great Escape in New York, and Six Flags La Ronde in Canada. This move is meant to streamline Six Flags operations and improve its cash flow. The deal is expected to wrap up late in the first financial quarter or early in the second. Six Flags emphasize how special these parks are to local families and communities who made memories there. They feel good about handing them over to EPR, which has experienced running big attractions, so it frees up resources to upgrade rides, tech, and experiences at their core parks. Meanwhile, EPR's CEO called it a smart expansion into reliable, family-friendly spots with strong attendance and land value.
