EPR Properties announced it has completed the acquisition of six U.S. amusement parks from Six Flags Entertainment Corporation as part of a previously announced seven-park transaction valued at approximately $315 million, marking a key milestone in the company’s experiential real estate expansion strategy.
The transaction, which closed on April 6, 2026, represents the substantial majority of the broader portfolio acquisition. The final remaining asset, La Ronde in Montreal, Canada, is expected to close in the second quarter of 2026.
The six U.S. parks will be operated by Enchanted Parks under a long-term master lease agreement. La Ronde will be operated by La Ronde Operations, Inc., continuing an established operating model centered on experienced regional park managers.
The acquisition builds on EPR Properties’ focus on experiential real estate, including attractions and leisure destinations where consumers spend discretionary time and money. The company noted that the parks are located in established regional markets and are expected to generate stable performance under dedicated operating partners.
The deal stems from a previously announced agreement between EPR and Six Flags to transfer ownership of a portfolio of regional parks, allowing Six Flags to streamline its asset base while enabling EPR to expand its footprint in the attractions sector.
KEY QUOTE:
“This closing marks a significant milestone for EPR Properties and sets the tone for what we expect to be a highly productive year. These are established parks in proven regional markets, and we look forward to working with focused operating partners to drive strong performance at each property.”
