Six Flags Great Adventure just got bigger with more amusement parks.
Six Flags and Cedar Fair finalized an agreement, officially merging the two companies under one name: the Six Flags Entertainment Corporation. This deal creates one of the largest chains of amusement parks in North America.
The merger is worth an estimated $8 billion.
Cedar Fair's president says the agreement will result in new rides and state of the art technology for parkgoers.
There will be a total of 42 parks under one name. However, it’s not clear if parkgoers can get season passes to check out all the amusement spots.
