Six Flags Entertainment

A fatal fall from the Goliath coaster at Six Flags Over Georgia forced the operator to close nine similar high‑drop rides across its parks, triggering reputational damage, rising legal exposure and a more than 20% drop in the company’s share price. The company already carried over $5 billion of debt and limited self‑insurance reserves, meaning potential retrofits, higher premiums and out‑of‑pocket claims could severely pressure cash flow. Six Flags has sold assets to raise cash and faces heightened scrutiny ahead of its next earnings report on Nov. 5, while activists push management to consider strategic alternatives. » Mere på forbes.com
