Six Flags Recognized by iParenting Media

NEW YORK, Feb. 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Six Flags, Inc. (NYSE: SIX) today announced that its Holiday in the Park(TM) event at Six Flags Over Texas in Arlington, Texas, Six Flags Fiesta Texas in San Antonio, Texas and Six Flags Discovery Kingdom in Vallejo, California, along with the Six Flags Storytime Series, an original book series based on the California park's animal population, have been named Best Products of 2008 by iParenting Media.

Holiday in the Park(TM) is an end-of-year family event featuring themed shows, millions of twinkling lights, seasonal food and festive decor. First created at Six Flags Over Texas in 1985, the event was expanded to include Fiesta Texas and Discovery Kingdom in 2007. The offering at Discovery Kingdom featured the world's largest cut Christmas tree -- a magnificent 125' tall Douglas fir.

"Holiday in the Park is about creating a fantasyland, where candy canes, and giant-sized toys come to life," said Carol Silver, Six Flags Corporate Director of Entertainment and Marketing. "The holidays are such a magical time of year -- the sights, the sounds, the nostalgia -- and this event was created to enrich those warm feelings and wonderful memories for guests of all ages."

The Six Flags Storytime Series is an 8-book collection based on some of the land and sea animals that make their home at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom. "The purpose of the series was two-fold; to provide children with educational facts about animal life and to hopefully pass along a few life lessons," said Silver who also authored the series. "A follow-up Storytime Series will be released later this year featuring the animals from Six Flags Great Adventure Wild Safari in Jackson, New Jersey -- the largest drive-through safari outside of Africa.

Winners of the iParenting Media Awards Best Products of 2008 included items ranging from high-tech toys, safety gear and educational software to helpful books, audio CDs and Websites. Award-winning products were selected based on their fun value, product quality, ease of use, play duration, educational nature and uniqueness, among other criteria. Hundreds of products were submitted for judging in 20 categories.

Added Silver: "We're extremely honored to be recognized by iParenting Media. These awards symbolize that our parks and our products are resonating with families. The Six Flags mission is to create memories and experiences that last a lifetime."
