Six Flags will reintroduce park presidents in 10 key markets after eliminating the positions at all 27 amusement parks in the chain in May 2025.
The strategic shift sought to centralize certain functions and responsibilities at the corporate level following the $8 billion merger that combined Six Flags and Cedar Fair into a North American amusement park juggernaut.
Park presidents will be reintroduced at these 10 Six Flags parks:
- Knott’s Berry Farm
- Six Flags Magic Mountain
- Cedar Point
- Kings Island
- Canada’s Wonderland
- Six Flags Great America
- Six Flags Great Adventure
- Six Flags Over Georgia
- Six Flags Over Texas
- Carowinds
Raffi Kaprelyan will return to Knott’s Berry Farm as vice president and park manager — a role he held for a decade from 2011 to 2021.
Brian Oerding will take over as vice president and park manager at Six Flags Magic Mountain after 18 years at Carowinds.
