This performance stands in stark contrast to the S&P 500, which has gained 0.69% on the same day.

The company's financial metrics reveal ongoing challenges. Six Flags has reported a staggering year-over-year decline of 63.18%, significantly underperforming the S&P 500, which has seen a 12.95% increase over the same period.
