Amusement park company Six Flags stock is up 7% today on news that the company will be looking to shed its underperforming parks — likely at the behest of a group of activist investors which owns 9% of the company and includes activist investor JANA Partners and Taylor Swift’s husband (and football player) Travis Kelce.<\/p>\n

The company separately announced that its outgoing CEO will be replaced by former Palace Entertainment U.S CEO, John Reilly. Palace owns parks mostly in the Northeast including: Splish Splash of Calverton, NY and Dutch Wonderland (!) of Lancaster, PA.<\/p>\n

Even with the rise, the stock has absolutely been on a rollercoaster straight down this year:<\/p>\n
