Six Flags Announces Corporate Headquarters Relocation to Arlington, Texas
Rhea-AI Summary
Six Flags Entertainment (NYSE: FUN) will relocate its corporate headquarters from Charlotte, North Carolina, to its existing offices at Choctaw Stadium in Arlington, Texas, with completion expected by March 2027. The Arlington site will become the primary hub for corporate leadership and shared business functions.
According to the company, the move places leadership in a more central location to support 34 amusement and water parks and nine resorts across North America, and reconnects Six Flags with the community where its legacy began at Six Flags Over Texas in 1961. Six Flags will maintain an office in Sandusky, Ohio and continue investing in other regions, including new attractions such as Rip Roarin' Falls at Carowinds and several major rides planned for the 2027 season across its U.S. park portfolio.
