It has been officially announced that Six Flags St. Louis is among seven park properties to be sold to EPR Properties.

The Six Flags Entertainment Corporation notes on its website that this is part of its ongoing strategy to optimize and strengthen its park portfolio.

In addition to Six Flags St. Louis, other parks on the list include:

• Michigan’s Adventure (Muskegon, Mich.)
• Schlitterbahn Waterpark Galveston (Galveston, Texas)
• Six Flags Great Escape (Queensbury, N.Y.)
• Six Flags La Ronde (Montreal, QC)
• Valleyfair (Minneapolis, Minn.)
• Worlds of Fun (Kansas City, Mo.)

“This step allows us to concentrate on the Six Flags parks with the greatest potential for innovation, expansion, and elevated guest experiences. That means by focusing today, we’re building the foundation for a stronger, more exciting future,” the online announcement further noted. “EPR Properties will partner with experienced operators—Enchanted Parks for the six U.S. parks and La Ronde Operations Inc. for La Ronde—to ensure a smooth and seamless transition.”

The company said that this transition is not expected to affect the guest experience in any significant way. The parks will maintain their regular operating schedules, and all season passes sold will continue to be honored through the 2026 season—including multi-park pass privileges at other Six Flags locations. Admission will continue to be honored for the full 2026 season based on date of pass purchase.

The website further outlined what this would mean for guests:

• All seven parks will continue normal operations through the 2026 season.
• All 2026 season passes and active memberships will be honored throughout 2026, including multi‑park access.
• EPR retains the right to use the Six Flags brand through 2026, which means you will continue to see the same names, signage, and experiences during this transition period.
