Travis Kelce, has joined an investor group led by activist investor Jana Partners to acquire one of the largest ownership stakes in Six Flags Entertainment.
The group holds an economic interest of approximately 9%, valued around $200 million. They plan to engage with Six Flags’ management and board to explore ways to improve shareholder value and enhance visitor experience at the struggling amusement park operator.
