Six Flags is finding opportunity across China, with 10 parks now in the works — but will the company and its partners run into pushback from government officials who have recently voiced concerns about rapid theme park growth?
More Six Flags-branded parks are coming to China as the company chases its global expansion plans.
Texas-based theme park operator Six Flags Entertainment announced plans late Tuesday to add three branded parks — theme, water, and adventure — to Nanjing in East China with development partner Riverside Investment Group.
Financial details were not disclosed, though a press release described a "multi-million dollar entertainment complex" that will open its first phase in 2021.
