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."
