    --  Six Flags Magic Mountain, the Thrill Capital of the World, and recently
        voted by USA TODAY readers as America's Best Theme Park, has unveiled
        plans for the highly-anticipated, world-record-breaking hybrid coaster,
        Twisted Colossus, an unprecedented, awe-inspiring four-minute journey
        through nearly 5,000 feet of track and two lift hills. Twisted Colossus,
        the next generation of the beloved wooden roller coaster that thrilled
        millions of guests in its 36-year reign at the park, will be a unique
        technological marvel combining an iconic wooden structure with
        state-of-the-art Iron Horse Track. The advanced technology, available
        exclusively at Six Flags, provides ride experiences never before
        possible on wooden coasters, such as over-banked turns and inversions.
        Twisted Colossus will feature numerous exciting components including a
        "Top Gun" element, the western hemisphere's first "High Five" element,
        and a Zero G Roll.


    --  Six Flags New England, the Thrill Capital of New England, is introducing
        Wicked Cyclone, a new state-of-the-art roller coaster that integrates
        the latest in ride technology and innovation. The coaster will offer the
        ultimate in thrills and adrenaline by combining the extreme
        characteristics of steel and wood, and be the first hybrid roller
        coaster to hit the east coast. Wicked Cyclone's steel track provides
        riders with a smoother and more thrilling ride along its 3,320 feet of
        track. The ride stands 10 stories in the sky and reaches speeds of up to
        55 mph, providing riders with more airtime than any other coaster in New
        England.


    --  Six Flags Over Texas, the Thrill Capital of Texas, and Six Flags St.
        Louis, the Coaster Capital of Missouri -- in partnership with Warner
        Bros. Consumer Products and DC Entertainment -- have announced the next
        generation of interactive thrills with the debut of an all-new 3D
        interactive dark ride attraction, JUSTICE LEAGUE: BATTLE FOR METROPOLIS.
        Slated to open at both parks in 2015, guests will become members of the
        JUSTICE LEAGUE Reserve Team and engage in a full-sensory journey as they
        battle alongside SUPERMAN, BATMAN, WONDER WOMAN and GREEN LANTERN
        against Lex Luthor, The Joker and his henchmen. Traveling in
        six-passenger vehicles, riders must outsmart Lex Luthor and The Joker to
        save the city of Metropolis.


    --  Six Flags Fiesta Texas has unveiled plans to debut the most exciting
        coaster in the park's 22-year history -- BATMAN((TM)): The Ride.Riders
        on this 4D Wing Coaster will "face their fear" as they flip
        head-over-heels at least six times along the weightless, tumbling
        journey. The ride features a massive, imposing, floating and twisting
        track frame in which ride vehicles begin their journey by traveling up a
        120-foot elevator-type lift before being released for their highly
        unusual sensory journey...including two beyond-vertical free falls, in
        addition to the six head-over-heels spins. Not only is BATMAN((TM)): The
        Ride the most exciting thrill ride in Fiesta Texas history, it is
        currently not available anywhere else on the planet.


    --  Six Flags Great Adventure, the world's largest theme park, is gearing up
        for more roller coaster thrills and Halloween scares in 2015. The
        510-acre theme park, recently voted America's second best theme park by
        USA TODAY readers, debuts the park's 13(th) roller coaster Looping
        Dragon -- a pendulum-style thrill ride that offers gut-wrenching loops
        with maximum "hang" time. The park is also expanding its notoriously
        scary Fright Fest(®) Halloween festival in 2015 with two new indoor
        mazes -- "Big Top Terror," a 3-D, black light experience, and
        "Condemned," which takes guests inside the walls of a prison. Next door,
        Hurricane Harbor introduces its first outdoor grill and new, luxury
        cabanas.


    --  Guests can rocket up seven stories in all directions -- forward,
        backward and upside down -- through a bedlam of loops on THE JOKER Chaos
        Coaster at the Thrill Capital of the South, Six Flags Over Georgia
        outside of Atlanta. In addition, guests can spin, twist and roll through
        a cycle of classic fun on Harley Quinn Spinsanity. Both new thrilling
        attractions will transform the park's iconic Gotham City this coming
        spring. At the South's Most Thrilling Water Park, Six Flags White Water
        in Marietta, Georgia, water park daredevils are invited to slip into a
        clear capsule with a  trap door then plummet down more than 100 feet at
        nearly 90 degrees for a zero-gravity experience on the Dive Bomber water
        slide.


    --  Six Flags Great America, near Chicago, is proud to announce a
        celebration of 40 Seasons of Thrills in 2015. From its launch in 1976 to
        today Six Flags Great America has lead the way in innovation with the
        addition of world-class coasters, state-of-the-art shows and a massive
        20-acre waterpark. Next season Six Flags Great America will upgrade the
        signature areas of the park, Carousel Plaza and Hometown Square, and
        re-introduce children's rides for families to share with the next
        generation of thrill-seekers. Additionally, Six Flags Great America will
        host weekly celebrations, in-park festivities and events throughout the
        summer.


    --  Six Flags Great Escape near Lake George, NY will debut the newly
        renovated Buccaneer Beach in 2015. The restoration and transformation of
        a popular children's area in Splashwater Kingdom makes way for this
        re-themed pirate adventure featuring children's slides and interactive
        water elements offering endless water park fun. The expansion of the
        water park also includes new pool deck space and increased shaded water
        park seating.


    --  Bourbon Street Fireball, Six Flags America's 10th roller coaster, is a
        chaotic looping coaster with a train that holds 24 riders seated in
        unique forward and backward, face-to-face positions. The full chaos of
        the ride is unleashed as the train swings pendulum style to a completely
        suspended position at the top of the loop, hanging guests momentarily
        upside down. In full motion, the coaster loops into a series of 360?
        revolutions of pure adrenaline. Just as the riders think they know what
        to expect, the train reaches the top of the loop only to reverse
        direction for additional 360? revolutions.


    --  Six Flags Mexico, the world-class theme park in Latin America, will add
        the tallest and most exciting spinning attraction in the country.
        Soaring an astounding 242 feet in the air, SkyScreamer will provide
        guests breathtaking, panoramic views as they spin high above the park
        and city below. The journey begins as 32 guests sit two across in
        open-air swings. At full swing, guests revolve in a 98-foot circle at
        speeds of 35 mph for a full two minutes. The Six Flags globe at the top
        of the tower will serve as a new icon drawing guests from near and far.
        It is time to fly and conquer the sky in the new SkyScreamer!


    --  La Ronde, Quebec's leading destination for thrills and family
        entertainment, is turning up the fear factor in 2015 with the addition
        of an all-new, year-round haunted attraction. Guests will be terrified
        when walking through Maison Rouge - Labyrinth of Fear, a bone-chilling
        funhouse that will leave them screaming for their lives!


    --  Dare devils be on alert as Six Flags Discovery Kingdom opens Dare Devil
        Chaos Coaster in 2015, a single looping coaster that builds anticipation
        as riders seated back to back travel backward and forward until momentum
        takes them at top speed revolutions, only to stop upside down at 70 feet
        high, then reverse direction. It is a thrill ride guaranteed to get
        their adrenaline pumping.

This fall at all Six Flags parks, Fright Fest(®) -- the biggest Halloween event in America -- keeps getting bigger, better and scarier with more zombies, ghouls and haunted mazes than ever before. Later this year, for the first time ever, Six Flags Magic Mountain and Six Flags Over Georgia join several other Six Flags parks by ringing in the holidays with Holiday in the Park(®) -- a winter wonderland featuring all the familiar sights and sounds of the season along with roller coasters, rides and attractions.
