Travis Kelce buys Six Flags-Cedar Fair.

He better make the right moves and save the parks that are shuttering.

He's part of an investor group buying stock.

That's a wildly inaccurate headline. Kelce is just one investor in a group that currently has a mere 9% of SF/CF stock:

So neither Kelce nor the investment group "bought" SF/CF.

No. No he didn't.

Honestly, I wouldn't have clicked the story without Travis Kelce's name on it so the investment group is smart to use the name to gather interest in a marketing campaign.

It's always good when investors come in to try and save community resources like a theme park, so many people never get on a plane their whole lives to reach the biggest parks and even more can't afford the price tag for a family visit so without places like regional theme parks most families miss out.

When I was a kid only the super rich families went to WDW, and that didn't include me so I remember Great Adventure in NJ being the best place to go (I went to "Class Action Park from Netflix that we called Traction Park where I was nearly flung from the water ride in the show but that's a different story) For a while there WDW became more affordable but it seems to have reverted back to a thing reserved for the wealthy again so the US is better off with these smaller parks.

Last time I went to a Great Adventure it was disgustingly filthy, hope things turn around because there is one near Springfield Ma, six Flags New England . I would totally love to see but the reviews about the cleanliness are awful, if they can manage them better people will show up.

Title isn't correct, Kelce just invested some money in it and will be a minority shareholder. He isn't giving up football to run some amusement parks..........LOL. I do remember when T. Swift refused to invest or lend her name to that bitcoin fraud taking place out of the Bahamas. She was apparently the only celebrity smart enough to ask for proof of what all it involved which they couldn't do, so she said 'no thanks'. Obviously, these wealthy people have to invest their money somewhere.
