Six Flags is the world's largest regional theme park company, founded in 1961 when Angus Wynne opened Six Flags Over Texas in Arlington, Texas. The park's name referenced the six different nations whose flags have flown over Texas throughout its history. Today, Six Flags operates a portfolio of theme parks, water parks, and family entertainment centers across North America following its 2024 merger with Cedar Fair Entertainment Company, creating an industry giant with over 40 properties. The combined company's parks include flagship destinations like Six Flags Magic Mountain in California, known for its record-breaking collection of roller coasters, Six Flags Great Adventure in New Jersey, Six Flags Over Georgia, and numerous other regional parks. Six Flags is renowned for its thrill rides and roller coasters, often debuting record-setting attractions that push the boundaries of ride engineering. The parks feature popular licensed themes including DC Comics superheroes and Looney Tunes characters through a long-standing partnership with Warner Bros. Six Flags also operates Hurricane Harbor water parks at many of its locations. The company pioneered the season pass and membership model in the theme park industry, making its parks accessible to a broad demographic. Headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina following the Cedar Fair merger, Six Flags Entertainment Corporation is publicly traded on the NYSE and continues to invest in new attractions and guest experiences across its extensive park portfolio.
