Six Flags宣布2027年将总部迁至得州阿灵顿

Streamlining corporate functions will enhance speed of execution and strategic focus, and bring leadership closer to many parks
CHARLOTTE, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Six Flags Entertainment Corporation (NYSE: FUN) (“Six Flags” or the “Company”), North America’s largest regional amusement park operator, today announced plans to move its corporate headquarters in 2027 from Charlotte, North Carolina to its current offices in Arlington, Texas.
The Arlington headquarters will serve as the primary hub for the Company’s corporate leadership and shared business functions. Choctaw Stadium has served as a corporate office since 2020 and is currently home to a portion of the Company’s corporate workforce. The relocation reflects the Company’s continued evolution and strengthens its ability to support a network of 34 parks and nine resorts across North America. Located at the center of the Dallas-Fort Worth region, Arlington brings leadership closer to the Company’s five Texas properties. The transition is expected to be completed by March 2027.
“The decision to return the Company’s headquarters to Arlington is a continuation of our efforts to evolve the organization and enhance operational efficiency,” said Six Flags President and CEO John Reilly. “After an extensive review, we determined that concentrating our personnel, processes, and decision-making in our Arlington office, where a portion of Six Flags corporate employees are located, is the best path forward for the Company. Bringing our corporate team together in the office will enhance collaboration across functions, strengthen our culture, and improve coordination among our new executive leaders as we further align our organization around our key strategic priorities and long-term vision.”
Reilly continued, “Arlington is a vibrant entertainment district where the Six Flags story began more than six decades ago with the opening of Six Flags Over Texas. The city sits at the heart of our five Texas parks and provides our leadership team with direct access to park operations and a regular on-the-ground presence. We look forward to building on the strong capabilities we already have in place there, and capitalizing on the vast talent pool in the Dallas-Fort Worth area as we advance our strategic growth plans. We are grateful to the City of Arlington and local leaders for their partnership and support, and we are committed to contributing to the community’s continued growth and success.”
Earlier this summer, Six Flags Over Texas celebrated the opening of Tormenta: Rampaging Run, the world's first giga dive coaster and a record-breaking new attraction that changed the city’s skyline and further reinforces Arlington's position as a premier entertainment destination. The debut brought together local officials, community partners, tourism leaders, and park guests in recognition of the attraction's economic and cultural significance to the region. The strong support and engagement surrounding Tormenta's opening reflected the connection between Six Flags and the Arlington community as the Company continues to invest in experiences that drive visitation, tourism, and long-term growth.
"Bringing our corporate team together in Arlington helps us run a leaner, more responsive organization. Our job at the corporate level is to support our parks and park leaders and enable their success. This move is about making sure we're best set up to serve them well,” Reilly said. "That kind of alignment matters as we execute our long-term strategy — it's about how effectively we work, not just where we sit."
Six Flags will continue to be a major employer and contributor to the regional economy of the Charlotte metro area through its investments in Carowinds and Carolina Harbor. This includes Carowinds’ record-breaking new attraction, Rip Roarin’ Falls, which is on track to open in 2027. In addition, the Company will continue to have an office in Sandusky, Ohio.
