Скачать или смотреть Travis Kelce joins activist investor campaign at Cedar Point parent company Six Flags

An activist investor is enlisting Cleveland Heights native and NFL star Travis Kelce in a bid to take Cedar Point parent company Six Flags to new heights.

Hedge fund JANA Partners teamed up with Kelce, consumer executive Glenn Murphy and tech executive Dave Habiger on an investment in Six Flags Entertainment Corp. that would see the group own roughly 9% of the amusement park conglomerate.

JANA, which disclosed the investment at the 13D Monitor Active-Passive Investor Summit in New York, said it plans to work with Six Flags management and board members on ways to "enhance shareholder value and improve the guest experience," according to a press release.

Kelce, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end and fiance of pop star Taylor Swift, posted vintage home videos of himself and his family on rides at Cedar Point — now a Six Flags park after the company's 2024 merger with its former Cedar Fair parentco — on social media to mark the announcement, set to audio of a discussion about the park on his popular New Heights podcast with brother Jason Kelce.

"I am a lifelong Six Flags fan and grew up going to these parks with my family and friends," Kelce said. "The chance to help make Six Flags special for the next generation is one I couldn't pass up."
