Six Flags Donates Tickets for Military Families

GRAND PRAIRIE, Texas, March 27, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Six Flags Entertainment Corporation (NYSE:SIX), the world's largest regional theme park company, is continuing its partnership with Operation Homefront by making a $100,000 ticket donation, in recognition of April as "The Month of the Military Child."

"In appreciation for the incredible service and sacrifice made by our U.S. military members and their families, Six Flags is proud to host military families for a day full of fun and thrills at Six Flags parks," said Jim Reid-Anderson, chairman, president and chief executive officer.

"Six Flags is a great place for families, and over the years they've been very generous in inviting the military families we serve to enjoy all the attractions their parks have to offer," said Tim Farrell, Chief Operating Officer for Operation Homefront. "This donation is a wonderful opportunity for the moms and dads who serve our country to have a great time with their kids."

Six Flags has a long history of supporting military personnel and their families by offering complimentary and discounted admission to its parks. The company also hosts special military appreciation days in the month of July, and in 2013, as part of its "Salute to Heroes" week, it worked with Operation Homefront and Discover® to reunite a military mom and her family. The company will announce new initiatives with Operation Homefront later this spring.
