Red Zone's Six Flag offense fumbles?

Six Flag Inc. shareholder Red Zone LLC has distributed its 10.9 million shares in the amusement park operator to the firm's individual members, according to an SEC filing. Dealbook suggests the move portends Red Zone's turnaround for the troubled company is over, and considering Six Flag shares are trading near a 52-week low, it was a failure. Red Zone, the investment vehicle of Redskins owner Dan Snyder, accrued an 11% stake in Six Flags two years ago promising to turn it around. Interestingly, like Snyder's Redskins, it would seem Red Zone makes a lot of promises, but ultimately fails to execute in the end. — Matthew Wurtzel
