Six Flags

Six Flags Entertainment Corporation, doing business as Six Flags, is an American amusement park corporation. 
==History==
Six Flags Theme Parks originated in 1957 with the creation of The Great Southwest Corporation by Angus G. Wynne and other investors. Construction of Six Flags Over Texas started in 1960 and the park opened the next year for a short 45-day season. The park initially featured a Native American village, a gondola ride, a railroad, some Wild West shows, a stagecoach ride and "Skull Island", a pirate-themed adventure attraction. There was also an excursion, inspired by the historical La Salle Expeditions in the late 1600s, called "LaSalle's River Adventure", aboard French riverboats through a wilderness full of animated puppets. http://www.csus.edu/indiv/s/shawg/articles/facilities/six_flags_timeline.htmlhttps://web.archive.org/web/20110726143319/http://parktimes.com/content/node/17 
The name "Six Flags" originally referred to the flags of the six different nations that have governed Texas: Spain, France, Mexico, the Republic of Texas, the United States of America, and the Confederate States of America. https://books.google.com/books?id=AJbiA_sBjzYC&pg=PA158 
In 1964, Toddie Lee Wynne announced he would be selling his stake in the Great Southwest Corporation, which he created with his nephew Angus G.

The original Six Flags park, Six Flags Over Texas in Arlington, was officially 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. https://www.proquest.com/docview/1522287850
