CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Six Flags Entertainment is relocating its corporate headquarters from North Carolina to Texas.<\/p>\n
Six Flags owns dozens of amusement parks in the U.S., including Dorney Park and Wildwater Kingdom in South Whitehall Township, Lehigh County.<\/p>\n
Six Flags will make the move in early 2027, shifting the base of its operations from Charlotte, North Carolina, to Arlington, Texas.<\/p>\n
The company already has a corporate office in Arlington, at\u00a0Choctaw Stadium. The very first Six Flags park- Six Flags Over Texas- opened in Arlington in 1961.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe decision to return the Company\u2019s headquarters to Arlington is a continuation of our efforts to evolve the organization and enhance operational efficiency,\u201d said Six Flags President and CEO John Reilly, in a news release.<\/p>\n
\u201cAfter an extensive review, we determined that concentrating our personnel, processes, and decision-making in our Arlington office, where a portion of Six Flags corporate employees are located, is the best path forward for the Company.”<\/p>\n
Six Flags currently operates five amusement parks in Texas. Its\u00a0network is made up of 34 parks and nine resorts across North America.<\/p>\n
The company said it will continue to be a “major employer and contributor” to the regional economy of the Charlotte metro area. It also will continue to have an office in Sandusky, Ohio, the former home of Cedar Fair, which was acquired by Six Flags in an $8 billion deal in 2024.\u00a0Dorney Park was one of the 15 Cedar Fair properties that was part of the deal.<\/p>\n
Shares of Six Flags (NYSE: FUN) were down slightly in early Tuesday trading to $16.77. That gives the company a market capitalization of $1.73 billion.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Six Flags Entertainment is relocating its corporate headquarters from North Carolina to Texas.
