Wall Street Journal US Business •

Six Flags delivered stronger-than-expected first-quarter results, with revenue climbing 12% to $225.6 million and topping Wall Street forecasts of $207.5 million. The theme park operator also announced a leadership shakeup, with CFO Brian Witherow and two other executives exiting as the company restructures its C-suite.

Attendance rose 4% to 2.9 million visits, while per capita spending increased 6% to $69.26 per guest. These operational improvements drove the revenue beat, showing guests are returning and spending more per visit. The metrics suggest the company's pricing strategies and park experience enhancements are resonating with visitors.

Despite the top-line growth, Six Flags posted a wider net loss of $268.6 million compared to $219.7 million in the prior year period. The widening loss reflects ongoing restructuring costs and the challenging economics of the theme park business. The executive departures signal management's attempt to reset the company's trajectory while navigating post-pandemic recovery pressures in the entertainment sector.
