Six Flags Says It Will Invest More Than $1 Billion in Parks; Press Release Does Not Mention Dorney Park

— Jeff Ward, Lehigh Valley News Briefs

Six Flags Entertainment, owner of Dorney Park, announced plans to spend more than $1 billion on its properties over the next two years.

The company statement does not mention Dorney Park and Wild Water Kingdom, the company’s South Whitehall Township property.

That does not mean there won’t be improvements at Dorney.

“The capital investments will go far beyond new rides. More than $80 million of the overall two-year spend will go toward food and beverage upgrades, including new restaurant concepts and improved menu offerings,” according to the Six Flags statement.

Several parks will get new rides.

Six Flags owns 42 parks. In August, it announced a plan for a pass to be used at all of them.

“Beginning January 6, 2025, the All Park Passport Add-On can be used at all combined Six Flags parks and water parks,” that company statement said.

Shares of Six Flags (NYSE:FUN) were trading at $47.30 at 10:42 a.m. Thursday. At that price, the company has a market capitalization of $4.74 billion.
