Six Flags Brings Back Park Presidents at 10 Parks

What this episode covers

Six Flags is reinstating park president positions at 10 of its parks, less than a year after eliminating the role. This is the first major structural change under new CEO John Reilly, who, after his listening tour, described a chain that suffered from inconsistent standards and a lack of accountability after the 2024 Cedar Fair merger.

Corporate can drive real economies of scale, but corporate don't always know what's happening inside an individual park. Then, Canada's Wonderland has made its chaperone policy permanent for guests 15 and under, citing incidents of teen takeovers at other venues.
