Six Flags, incorporated in Delaware and headquartered in Grand Prairie, Texas, is the largest regional theme park operator in the world, with 26 parks across North America.

The complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, defendants made false and misleading statements to investors regarding the Company's business, operations, and growth prospects in connection with its agreements with Riverside Investment Group Co. Ltd. ("Riverside"), a real estate developer, to develop Six Flags-branded theme parks in China. Further, defendants misled investors by assuring that delays in developing the parks were "short term," that the problems were "not material in the context of long-term opportunity," and that Riverside was in "great shape" financially.

The truth about defendants' fraud began to emerge on February 14, 2019, when Six Flags announced a negative $15 million revenue adjustment for fourth quarter of 2018 as a result of delays in the opening of multiple parks in China, which the Company falsely attributed to macroeconomic issues in China. On this news, the Company's stock price fell $9.00 per share, or over 14%, from its closing price on February 13, 2019 to close at $54.87 per share on February 14, 2019, on unusually heavy trading volume.

On October 23, 2019, the Company again announced delays in its park openings in China. In addition, Six Flags reported a 26% drop in international agreements, sponsorship and accommodations revenue for the third quarter of 2019 compared to the third quarter of 2018. On these disclosures, Six Flags's stock price fell $6.35 per share, or 12.4%, from its closing price on October 22, 2019 to close at $44.88 per share on October 23, 2019.

On January 10, 2020, Six Flags revealed that it continued to encounter challenges in the development of its parks in China, that Riverside had defaulted on its payment obligations to Six Flags, and that the Company would realize no revenue from its agreements with Riverside in the fourth quarter 2019 and expected a negative $1 million revenue adjustment in connection with those agreements. Six Flags also disclosed approximately $10 million in charges related to Riverside's default. On this news, Six Flags's stock price fell $7.80 per share, or approximately 17.8%, from its closing price of $43.76 on January 10, 2020 to close at $35.96 per share the next day, January 11, 2020.
