“Six Flags is proud to support efforts to vaccinate more Californians, particularly in underserved communities,” said Mike Spanos, Six Flags President and CEO. “California is a priority market for the company. We are continuing our commitment to local communities through ticket donations and by hosting vaccination sites at our parks across the country. We are excited to safely create fun and thrilling memories for our guests.”

“We’re fully reopening California’s economy, but we’re not letting up on our efforts to get more Californians vaccinated—especially in our hardest hit communities—so we can all safely get back to the activities and places we love, including our state’s iconic landmarks,” said Governor Newsom. “Getting every eligible Californian vaccinated is how we maintain our incredible progress and bring our state roaring back from this pandemic.”

Californians will receive a free Six Flags ticket when they receive their first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine at any of the 65 participating providers, located across 13 counties, serving the most vulnerable residents.

Tickets can be redeemed at any one of the four California Six Flags parks: Six Flags Magic Mountain in Valencia; Six Flags Discovery Kingdom in Vallejo; Six Flags Hurricane Harbor in Valencia; and Six Flags Hurricane Harbor in Concord.
