CHARLOTTE, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Six Flags Entertainment Corporation (NYSE: FUN), the largest amusement park operator in North America, today announced it will invest more than $1 billion over the next two years to enhance the guest experience at its 42 parks. The investments, which will total between $500 million and $525 million in both 2025 and 2026, will include new rides, attractions, themed areas, dining upgrades, and technology enhancements that are sure to deliver an unparalleled level of fun and excitement to guests of all ages.

“Our capital investment plans for the next two years reinforce our commitment to providing unmatched thrills, immersive entertainment and lifelong memories to guests of all ages,” said Six Flags President & CEO Richard A.

In August, the company unveiled its capital investment for the 2025 operating season. Those plans include seven new roller coasters, along with an expanded roster of popular seasonal events. In addition, the new All Park Passport Add-On will allow season passholders and members to visit all 42 of the Company’s amusement and water parks beginning January 6, 2025.

Among the capital investments currently planned for the 2026 operating season:
  • Carowinds will introduce a record-breaking water ride
  • Canada’s Wonderland will add a new record-breaking water attraction
  • King's Island will introduce a new family thrill attraction
  • Knott’s Soak City will receive a water park refresh and aesthetic enhancements

More information on these and other investments will be shared by both Six Flags and the individual parks as details and timetables are formalized.

More Medusa, just because

So the houses are funny.

It’s all the same formula just different themes. There’s a zombie outbreak theme, mummy theme, hospital theme, radioactive warehouse chemical leak etc...but the formula is the same.

You walk in To the first room and the person gives a brief summary of what’s going on, in Spanish. Then you walk through the house with lots of banging, and the scare actors yelling at you, in Spanish. It’s amazing. And the actors WILL TOUCH you.

But guess what, everyone’s having a great time. El Culto a La Llorona, hands down house of the night. It deviated from the above formula and was indooors and outdoors and had a creep factor.
