The President Is Doing Something About Gas Prices - Six Flags President Mark Shapiro, That Is

Guests at Six Flags-Branded Parks Can Receive $15 Off Admissions By Showing a Gas Receipt



NEW YORK, May 5  /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- The President announced today a plan to do something to address record gasoline prices -- Six Flags President Mark Shapiro, that is.  This spring, he's giving the green light to a new discount promotion for everyone paying more at the pump.

Beginning today, Six Flags (NYSE:PKS) is offering guests $15 off admission on up to six full-price general admissions tickets to any one of Six Flags' thirteen theme parks if they simply show a receipt for a recent gasoline purchase.

"We've seen what's going on with gas prices and we understand the dilemma the American consumer is facing," said Shapiro. "As gas prices go up, Six Flags is the perfect entertainment option for families as more Americans choose to avoid flying and high airfares and take big carloads of family and friends to places more affordable and closer to home."

Six Flags is supporting this promotion with full-page advertisements beginning today in The New York Times and USA Today:

   "Our President is Doing Something about Gas Prices.
    He's giving you $15 off admissions to Six Flags.
    'Bring any gas receipt to our main gate and we'll give you $15 off
    admission' -- Mark Shapiro, President/CEO, Six Flags."
