KANSAS CITY, Mo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Apr 6, 2026--

EPR Properties (NYSE: EPR) (the “Company”) announced the closing of six U.S. parks as part of its previously announced acquisition of a seven-park portfolio from Six Flags Entertainment Corporation (NYSE: FUN). The U.S. parks comprise the substantial majority of the $315 million portfolio investment. The remaining property of La Ronde, an iconic park located in Montreal, Quebec, is expected to close in the second quarter of 2026.

Enchanted Parks will operate the six U.S. properties under a long-term master lease, and La Ronde Operations, Inc., will operate La Ronde. Both are proven operators with existing relationships with the Company.

“This closing marks a significant milestone for EPR Properties and sets the tone for what we expect to be a highly productive year,” said Gregory Silvers, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “These are established parks in proven regional markets, and we look forward to working with focused operating partners to drive strong performance at each property.”
