Overview
- Six Flags said it will bring back on-site presidents at several parks, with official appointments to be announced next week.
- Trade reports point to a roster of 10 locations, including Knott’s Berry Farm, Six Flags Magic Mountain, Cedar Point, Kings Island, Canada’s Wonderland, and Carowinds.
- Two appointments are confirmed, with Raffi Kaprelyan returning to Knott’s Berry Farm and Brian Oerding moving to Six Flags Magic Mountain as vice presidents and park managers.
- Company officials said the change is meant to speed decisions and match each park’s needs, a job that spans daily operations, staffing, guest service, budgets, and local outreach.
- The move reverses a May 2025 shift that replaced 27 park presidents with four regional teams and comes alongside recent park sales and closures, which may hint at where Six Flags will focus investment.
