Overview
- Six Flags announced a new operating structure that reinstates a single top leader at 10 major parks to better match local needs and lift results across its portfolio.
- Each park president will be accountable for daily performance, operations, staffing, budgeting, and the full guest experience.
- Named leaders include Christopher Mortensen at Canada’s Wonderland, Bridgette Bywater at Carowinds, Colleen Brady at Cedar Point, Tony Carovillano at Kings Island, and Raffi Kaprelyan at Knott’s Berry Farm.
- Appointments also cover Mike Fehnel at Six Flags Great Adventure, John Krajnak at Six Flags Great America, Brian Oerding at Six Flags Magic Mountain, Richard Pretlow at Six Flags Over Georgia, and Pete Carmichael at Six Flags Over Texas.
- The company framed the move as a reversal of its 2025 regional consolidation, with CEO John Reilly saying closer, on-site leadership will empower teams to move faster, innovate locally, and deliver better guest service.
