<p>Earlier this month on DailyFinance, Bruce Watson wrote about <a href="http://www.dailyfinance.com/2009/06/03/on-the-brink-six-flags-appeals-to-staycationers/">Six Flags as a company on the brink</a>: "Even if the company must declare bankruptcy, CEO Mark Shapiro says its daily operations will not be affected and characterizes a possible reorganization as a 'back-of-the-house issue.' Still, the company is keeping its seat belt fastened for more thrills and chills."</p>
<p>Today the company did <a href="http://dealbook.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/06/13/six-flags-files-for-bankruptcy/?ref=business">file for bankruptcy</a> with a so-called prepackaged filing. The reorganization plan has the unanimous support of the major lenders and the company hopes to re-emerge quickly. There don't appear to be any plans to close parks as a result of the filing.</p><p><a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2009/06/13/six-flags-files-for-chapter-11-bankruptcy-protection/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Six Flags files for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2009/06/13/six-flags-files-for-chapter-11-bankruptcy-protection/">Six Flags files for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com">BloggingStocks</a> on Sat, 13 Jun 2009 16:10:00 EST.
