Montreal’s iconic amusement park La Ronde is changing hands. U.S.-based EPR Properties announced Thursday it has reached an agreement to acquire the park from Six Flags Entertainment Corporation as part of a larger $342-million deal involving seven amusement parks across North America.
Under the agreement, the Montreal park will be managed by La Ronde Operations Inc., owned by Kieran Burke. His companies already operate several well-known attractions, including Village Vacances Valcartier near Quebec City and water parks such as Calypso Waterpark and Wet’n’Wild Toronto in Ontario.
La Ronde is the only Canadian park included in the transaction, which also covers six U.S. amusement and water parks. Altogether, the properties span more than 1,600 acres, feature over 400 attractions and draw about 4.5 million visitors a year.
Officials say visitors shouldn’t expect major changes right away. The park is expected to continue operating as usual, and season passes already sold, including multi-park passes with other Six Flags parks, will be honoured for the 2026 season.
