Overview
- Six Flags, which announced the decision Tuesday, plans to complete the relocation from Charlotte to its existing Choctaw Stadium offices in Arlington by March 2027.
- The company says concentrating corporate leadership in Arlington will improve day-to-day collaboration, give executives easier on-the-ground access to five Texas parks, and strengthen company culture.
- Six Flags will keep an office in Sandusky, Ohio, and says it will continue investing in Charlotte-area properties including Carowinds and Carolina Harbor while offering relocation options to some Charlotte staff.
- Arlington previously approved a Chapter 380 incentive that authorized up to $9 million for an earlier move and city records show about $6.6 million was paid through August 31, 2023; the company and city disclosed no new public incentives tied to this announcement.
- The move follows the 2024 merger with Cedar Fair and returns Six Flags to the community where its first park opened in 1961, a shift company leaders and Arlington officials say reflects strategic operational alignment.
