Page "Six Flags" Paragraph 6

The original park in Arlington was sold in 1966 to a subsidiary of the Pennsylvania Railroad, which was actively pursuing non-railroad investments in an effort to diversify its sources of income.

( In 1968, the company merged with the New York Central Railroad to form Penn Central Corp .) With the new owners came a more abundant supply of capital for geographic expansion and park additions.

Six Flags opened Six Flags Over Georgia in 1967 and Six Flags Over Mid-America in 1971, which would, along with Six Flags Over Texas, be the only three parks that would be constructed by the company.
