Six Flags Entertainment Corporation has acquired Fun Spot America Theme Parks for an undisclosed amount. The deal brings the family-owned Florida and Georgia park operator under the ownership of the world’s largest regional theme park company, which operates more than 40 parks across North America.
Fun Spot America debuted on Christmas Eve 1997 as a small five-acre park with go-karts, rides, and an arcade. Twenty-six years later, it has grown to include three locations and over 100 acres of family fun. The flagship Orlando park features the city’s first wooden roller coaster among 30 rides and attractions. The Kissimmee location offers more than 29 rides, including the world’s largest sky coaster and Florida’s only inverted wooden coaster. The Atlanta park is home to the ArieForce One roller coaster, launched in 2023, and the Samson go-kart track, which stands over 40 feet tall and stretches 1,800 feet long, alongside a new Ferris wheel, indoor bumper cars, and batting cages.
For Six Flags, the acquisition expands its portfolio with a complementary, mid-sized brand focused on high-thrill, family-oriented attractions. Fun Spot’s standalone parks in Orlando, Kissimmee, and Atlanta operate in tourism-heavy markets where Six Flags already has a presence, allowing for shared operational expertise in ride maintenance, safety protocols, and guest services. The deal also gives Six Flags access to Fun Spot’s loyal regional customer base and its established reputation for affordable, accessible entertainment.
The transaction is expected to close in the coming months, subject to customary regulatory approvals. Fun Spot’s existing management team will remain in place to oversee day-to-day operations, preserving the parks’ independent character. For Six Flags, the acquisition adds a distinct, non-gated attraction model to its broader network, potentially serving as a template for future expansions into smaller, urban-adjacent markets. The combined entity will now operate over 40 parks, with Fun Spot’s three locations contributing to a more diverse geographic footprint across the southeastern United States.
