Dow Jones Description

We are the largest regional theme park operator in the world, engaged solely in the theme park business. These parks include 14 of the 50 most highly attended theme parks in North America and the largest paid admission theme park in Mexico. These theme parks serve nine of the 10 largest metropolitan areas in the United States. We estimate that approximately two-thirds of the population of the continental United States live within a 150-mile radius of one of these parks. In April 2004, prior to the commencement of our 2004 operating season, we sold our park outside Cleveland, Ohio, and seven parks in Europe, which we refer to as our "European Parks." In 1998, we acquired the former Six Flags, which had operated regional theme parks under the Six Flags name for nearly forty years and established a nationally recognized brand name. We have worldwide ownership of the "Six Flags" brand name. To capitalize on this name recognition, 24 of our parks are branded as "Six Flags" parks, including thirteen parks that we have rebranded since the 1998 acquisition.
