Long-Lived Assets | Long-Lived Assets: As of June 29, 2025, December 31, 2024, and June 30, 2024, property and equipment was classified as following:
Property and equipment, net as of June 29, 2025 included $2.7 billion of Former Six Flags assets acquired on July 1, 2024 (see Note 2). Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment upon the occurrence of events or changes in circumstances that would indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. In order to determine if an asset has been impaired, assets are grouped and tested at the lowest level for which identifiable, independent cash flows are available. A significant amount of judgment is involved in determining if an indicator of impairment has occurred. Such indicators may include, among others: a significant decrease in the market price of a long-lived asset; a significant adverse change in the extent or manner in which a long-lived asset is being used or in its physical condition; a significant adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate; an accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or construction of a long-lived asset; past, current or future operating or cash flow losses that demonstrate continuing losses associated with the use of a long-lived asset; and a current expectation that a long-lived asset will be sold or disposed significantly before the end of its previously estimated useful life. Any adverse change in these factors could have a significant impact on the recoverability of these assets and could have a material impact on the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. On May 1, 2025, the Combined Company announced that it will close Six Flags America and Hurricane Harbor (collectively "Six Flags America") located in Bowie, Maryland following the end of the 2025 operating season. The property on which Six Flags America is located, which is approximately 500 acres, will be marketed for redevelopment as part of the Combined Company's ongoing portfolio optimization efforts. As a result, the estimated useful lives of the remaining property and equipment at Six Flags America were updated to depreciate through October 2025, or the end of Six Flags America's 2025 operating season. We expect this to result in an approximate $19 million increase in depreciation expense in 2025. As the property and equipment will be disposed significantly before the end of their previously estimated useful lives, we also tested the long-lived assets at Six Flags America for impairment during the second quarter of 2025, which resulted in no impairment. Management concluded no other triggering events occurred with respect to long-lived assets during the first six months of 2025 and the first six months of 2024. Management's conclusions were based on updated financial performance projections, as well as an updated analysis of macroeconomic and industry-specific conditions.
