Theme Park Amusement Park Count measures the number of amusement parks in Six Flags' operating portfolio.

Six Flags reported 26 amusement parks in its fiscal 2025 disclosures.

The portfolio also included 15 separately gated water parks

The water-park count was about 57.7% of the amusement-park count.

Six Flags also reported 9 resort properties, showing that its physical footprint extends beyond the core amusement parks.

Footprint breadth matters for seasonality and capital needs

More properties create additional operating calendars, maintenance requirements, local weather exposure, and opportunities for guest monetization.

Use Theme Park Separately Gated Water Park Count and Theme Park Resort Property Count to keep the property types separate.

Park count is not capacity or profitability

The 26 parks differ materially in attendance, attractions, acreage, operating days, and economics.

A location count alone cannot establish portfolio productivity.

Part of the Theme Park Economics

Connect attendance, guest monetization, in-park and out-of-park revenue, operating calendars, seasonal concentration, portfolio footprint, reinvestment needs, and issuer-defined park-level profitability across a regional theme-park operator.

Where this concept fits

Portfolio scale, reinvestment, and profitabilityCurrent relationship
Amusement parks, separately gated water parks, and resort properties describe the physical portfolio, the stated maintenance and infrastructure capex floor frames recurring reinvestment needs, and Adjusted EBITDA plus Modified EBITDA margin show issuer-defined non-GAAP profitability after the portfolio is operated.

Attendance, calendar, and seasonal demand
Attendance measures guest visits, operating days frame the calendar available to generate those visits, and peak-season mix shows how heavily annual demand and revenue concentrate in the second and third quarters. These are related demand and calendar measures, not interchangeable counts.

Guest monetization and revenue mix
Admissions and in-park product per-capita spending split guest monetization into entry-related and ancillary components, while in-park admissions, in-park product, total in-park, out-of-park revenue, and concessionaire remittances bridge those operating measures toward reported revenue.
