Just called back because I went “Peter HUH” the first time, that is indeed him.

Also, unrelated: I don't know if @Gavin is going to publicly post his findings or not, but he discovered something behind the scenes that, independently, has me pretty damn convinced that the Instagram account is real.

Feeling really confident with the list of parks the Instagram account followed again now.

I just don’t understand why they follow a Minecraft account that’s been called Enchanted Parks for years. Same with a couple random travel agents including one who calls herself Enchanted Parks

Major companies/powerful people never do stuff as a distraction from something that they don't want you to see...

It's official. La Ronde was also sold to EPR, but will be operated by Premier Parks.

Here's Enchanted Parks' side of the announcement: Enchanted Parks, in Partnership with EPR Properties, Signs Definitive Agreement to Acquire Six Regional Amusement Parks, Reinforcing Commitment to Local Communities - Enchanted Parks

And the more guest-friendly and not investor-oriented announcement from Six Flags: Looking Forward: A New Chapter for Six Flags

Unbelievable. WoF/OoF, Valleyfair, Michigan's Adventure aren't super surprising. But Schlitterbahn, Great Escape, St. Louis is crazy to me. It seems every day my annual pass gets less and less valuable. Also, it'll be very interesting to see how the parks change. Hopefully parks like Michigan get investment under the new owners but I truly don't trust Enchanted Parks to operate things well compared to 6F (which is already a low bar)

I don’t trust Enchanted Parks for those parks either.. Like, Great Escape don’t need Enchanted Parks

I’m not even sure what DRINK they’re gonna be supporting. Coke, Pepsi, Dr Pepper? I don’t know

Makes sense to see no interruptions in service for 2026. We'll have to wait for more word from EPR towards the end of the year how they plan to move forward in 2027 and beyond.

We've seen things like this happen before and it will likely happen again at some point. Feels like there are more positives than negatives coming out of this, though.

I sure hope so, I already feel horror and worried

Surprised to see La Ronde on here

Important to note, it is only the smaller Schlitterbahn Galveston being sold, not the much larger and more famous Schlitterbahn New Braunfels.
Change is scary.

But it also means that since 6F still owns the name, the whole park's name will have to be changed - so it won't be called Schlitterbahn anymore

I'm surprised not to see Frontier City and Darien Lake here. If the chain wanted to offload basically all of it's unimportant properties, why not yeet the operating contracts for those two over to Enchanted Parks?
