The return on equity (ROE) of Six Flags Entertainment Corporation has shown significant fluctuations over the past few years. From March 31, 2020, to June 30, 2021, the ROE figures were negative, indicating that the company's profitability in relation to shareholders' equity was below par during this period.

However, starting from June 30, 2022, there was a notable turnaround with a sharp increase in ROE, reaching exceptionally high levels by June 30, 2023. These positive ROE numbers suggest that the company was able to generate substantial profits relative to the shareholders' equity during this time frame.
