Six Flags Sends High School Senior to American Music Awards Ceremony

Lucky Season Pass Holder Wins a Dream Weekend with The Stars

NEW YORK, Nov. 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Six Flags (NYSE:SIX) is once again making dreams come true for its most loyal customers. The company today announced the winner of its first ever Win A Trip to the American Music Awards Sweepstakes. 17 year old Janine Varela, a high school senior from The Bronx, NY will be mingling with the stars when she, her mother, father and best friend attend the American Music Awards ceremony on Sunday, November 18 at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles, California.

"I can't believe I'm going to the American Music Awards, I am totally psyched," said Varela whose mother purchased her Six Flags Great Adventure season pass for her online. "Our family hasn't been able to take a real vacation in 22 years ... this is just the best thing that could have happened to us," said mom Maureen Varela.

All guests who purchased and activated a 2008 season pass from participating Six Flags parks during the period of September 28 - October 29 were automatically entered to win an all expense paid trip to the AMA ceremony along with three guests of their choice.

"We are absolutely thrilled for Janine and her family," said Carol Silver, Corporate Director of Entertainment for Six Flags. "Thanks to our new partners at Dick Clark Productions, we're able to offer this wonderful experience to one of our guests. It definitely pays to be a Six Flags Season Pass Holder," added Silver.

"We are pleased to partner with Six Flags on the Win A Trip to the American Music Awards Sweepstakes," said Terry Fahn, Senior Vice President of Communications for Dick Clark Productions, Inc., which produces the American Music Awards. "We look forward to seeing Janine and the entire Varella family and expect that they will truly have a once-in-a-lifetime experience."

Janine plans to keep a blog of her entire LA weekend on sixflags.com - from going backstage to watch the dress rehearsals to walking down the red carpet on the big night. "I'll definitely be looking out for all my favorite celebrities. It'll be a weekend I'll never forget."

Beginning November 19, Six Flags kicks off the 2008 Win A Trip to the American Music Awards Sweepstakes. For a limited time, guests purchasing and activating a 2008 Season Pass will be entered for their chance to win a memorable weekend at next year's AMA show. See sixflags.com for more details.
