We sit at the sweet spot of broad trends driving the “experience” and “membership” economies, while being insulated from the online threats impacting so many companies. I am very proud of our outstanding team members who overcame unprecedented natural events to deliver our eighth consecutive year of record financial performance in 2017. I am even more excited about our future as we continue to build our lucrative, recurring revenue base. In 2017, Adjusted EBITDA (1) grew two percent, and our Modified EBITDA (1) margin remained the industry high. We returned $727 million to shareholders in the form of stock repurchases and dividends and delivered a 16 percent total return. In addition, we increased our dividend twice since the third quarter 2017 to an annual run-rate of $3.12 per share. This marks our ninth consecutive year of dividend increases and provides a yield more than double the S&P 500, making us the ultimate growth and yield stock. Over the course of 2017, we made notable progress to advance all our five major growth areas: 1) Took pricing up 3-5 percent on all our tickets, while reaching new highs in our value-for-the- money-ratings and achieving the most successful pre-sale

Rule 1-104. — Unreported Opinion — ______________________________________________________________________________ This is an appeal from a final judgment entered in the Circuit Court for Prince George’s County in favor of appellees, Nicholaus Mims, et ux., against appellant, Six Flags America, L.P. A jury found Six Flags liable for injuries sustained by Mims during a security incident at the amusement park. Six Flags timely filed a motion for a new trial/remittitur, which was denied by the court. Six Flags noted this appeal and presents two questions, which we have slightly rephrased:1 1. Did the trial court err in admitting the response to a request for admission into evidence? 2. Did the trial court abuse its discretion in allowing appellees’ counsel to argue in rebuttal that Six Flags made surveillance footage disappear? For the following reasons, we hold the trial court’s admittance of the response to the request for admission was harmless error, but the trial court abused its discretion in allowing appellees’ rebuttal arguments regarding the disappearance of surveillance footage.
