What Six Flags' financial struggles mean for the American dream
Six Flags America will close its doors this November after facing declining attendance, aging infrastructure, CEO turnover and a mountain of debt in recent years. Amusement parks across the country have been on an economic roller coaster since the pandemic. While they saw a surge in visitors after Covid restrictions were lifted, that period also brought a shortage of workers, rising labor costs and then a spike in gas prices and inflation. NBC News' Shannon Pettypiece reports on the story.
