Six Flags: Nugget Gate & More Leadership Changes

Six Flags found itself at the center of a chicken nugget fiasco this week, amidst a power struggle on its board. Six Flags banned content creator Alan Farrell for life from all its parks after he posted an Instagram video of himself eating a 10-piece box of chicken nuggets atop Millennium Force, in violation of the park's safety policy banning loose articles on rides. The situation raises questions about the state of entertainment and how parks should vet influencers. Buried among the nuggets was the news that Six Flags announced a new CFO and three new directors, each serving three-year terms, all with finance, M&A, and turnaround backgrounds.  The board shuffle, favoring turnaround over entertainment, traces back to Jana's letter demanding change. It was private equity all along. Listen to our weekly bonus show on Patreon.
