The parties successfully completed this billion merger.
Retained by Kirkland & Ellis
Counsel for Six Flags retained Joanna Tsai of Cornerstone Research to assist with addressing the DOJ’s inquiry into the proposed merger with Cedar Fair. Dr. Tsai and her team assisted with analyses on the competitive implications of the merger and with the second request. Together, Six Flags and Cedar Fair operate amusement and water parks throughout the U.S., Canada and Mexico. Each company generates over a billion dollars of revenue and serves tens of millions of park guests per year.
The companies successfully completed the billion merger in July 2024, after the DOJ closed the investigation.
