“At Six Flags, our relentless drive for innovation is powered by
our passion to create moments of pure joy and excitement for our
guests,” said Selim Bassoul, President and CEO of Six Flags. “This

experiences for every member of the family and reinforces Six
Flags’ position as the leader in thrills. This builds on our recent
efforts to offer new events and dining experiences by also
introducing new rides for thrill-seekers and families, all while
making improvements to many existing popular rides.”
The timing of the introduction of these exciting new rides
couldn't be more perfect—it aligns seamlessly with the brand's
highly anticipated Biggest Sale of the Year, featuring discounts of
up to 70% on season passes, tickets, and more, available now
through September 5. What sets this offer apart is that not only
can park visitors enjoy the new 2024 rides and experiences with
their season passes, they can also receive admission throughout the
remainder of 2023 including access to the highly popular Six Flags
Fright Fest.
The upcoming investments span across more than a dozen parks,
featuring an impressive lineup of thrilling additions that will
captivate and exhilarate guests. Included in this expansion are
five brand-new rides in partnership with Warner Bros. Discovery
Global Themed Entertainment and DC, bringing iconic DC Super Heroes
and Super-Villains to life in exhilarating experiences. In

a state-of-the-art Ultra Surf coaster, the first Super Boomerang
coaster in North America, and a new wood coaster featuring modern,
revolutionary Timberliner™ coaster cars delivering an
ultra-comfortable ride.

family fun ride for thrill seekers of all ages!
