Chiefs' Kelce Joins Investment Group Acquiring Significant Six Flags Stake

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has joined an investment group led by Jana Partners to acquire approximately nine percent of Six Flags, a major theme park operator that recently merged with Cedar Fair, owner of Cedar Point and Kings Island in Ohio. Kelce, who grew up visiting these parks and describes himself as a theme-park "superfan," expressed excitement about helping to enhance the experience for future generations. The combined Six Flags and Cedar Fair company now owns 42 properties across North America and plans to open another in Saudi Arabia. Despite recent challenges such as bad weather and declining attendance causing a drop in stock prices, the investment group aims to improve marketing and customer experience. This venture complements Kelce's diverse business portfolio, which includes a health brand, clothing line, car wash chain, a music festival, and a restaurant partnership. Kelce's involvement reflects a full-circle moment, connecting his Ohio roots and personal interests with his expanding business endeavors.
