Six Flags in Hot Water: Investors Sue Over Merger Claims

USATue Nov 11 2025

Six Flags Entertainment Corporation, the renowned amusement park giant, is embroiled in a class action lawsuit. The lawsuit alleges that the company and its top executives misled investors about its financial health prior to a major merger in July 2024.

The Allegations

The lawsuit claims that Six Flags had been underinvesting in its parks for years, leading to a competitive disadvantage. The new CEO, Selim Bassoul, began cutting jobs in 2021 to save costs, but this move backfired, reducing efficiency and harming the guest experience.

Stock Price Plunge

At the time of the merger, Six Flags' stock was trading above $55 per share. However, post-merger, the stock plummeted to as low as $20 per share, a 64% drop. Investors who suffered losses are now suing the company.

The lawsuit is being handled by Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP, a law firm with a strong track record in investor cases. The firm has recovered over $2.5 billion for investors in 2024 alone.

What Investors Should Do

If you invested in Six Flags and lost money, you may be eligible to join the lawsuit. The deadline to become a lead plaintiff is January 5, 2026. More information and contact details are available on the law firm's website.

Key Takeaways

This case highlights corporate transparency issues and the risks of aggressive cost-cutting. It serves as a reminder for investors to stay informed and vigilant.
