The stock began trading on the NYSE on June 21, 2010, and it closed on that date at a price of $9.12, after giving effect to both stock splits. 1 Refer to footnote 1 on the page opposite the inside back cover of this report. 2 The definition of Adjusted EBITDA and600 Modified EBITDA, and a reconciliation of these measures to U.S. GAAP financial measures, can be found opposite the inside back cover of this report and on our website at www.sixflags.com/investors. 3 Net debt equals reported debt less unrestricted cash. 500 1 400 300 200 100 0 “ Every day we are creating unique and thrilling memories for our guests.” It is hard to imagine a better place to invest, work or play than Six Flags. With our growing momentum and fourth consecutive year of record performance now behind us, we are looking forward to delivering new records in the future for our shareholders, guests and employees. Letter to Shareholders Our success starts with our team members, who are our number-one asset. Their innovative ideas keep Six Flags at the forefront of our industry and their contagious enthusiasm brings smiles to the 26 million guests who visit our parks every year. In 2013 they once again helped us achieve record financial results, deliver new marketable capital in every one of our 18 parks—including 3 new world-record rides—and receive the highest guest satisfaction ratings in the company’s 53-year history. Every day we are creating unique and thrilling memories for our guests—after all, people never tire of having fun. Perhaps it is conquering a fear of heights with your best friend, the exhilaration of flying at top speeds with your child, a heart-warming Broadway-style show with your grandmother or the aroma of a funnel cake that creates that lasting memory. There is no doubt that each and every visit to Six Flags is special and unique. As we head into 2014, our business strategy remains stable and focused. New world-record-breaking rides will rise and forever change the skylines of four of our parks, and we will also roll out new attractions in all the others. Our innovation will also include ongoing growth in several highly successful programs such as our Six Flags Membership Program, All Season Dining Pass, and biometrics park-entry system. In addition, we will make further investments in our culinary program and special events such as Fright Fest®, when our parks are turned into Halloween scare zones, and Holiday in the Park®, when we celebrate the winter holidays with millions of sparkling lights. Innovations such as these attract new guests, enrich their in-park experiences, and keep them returning to Six Flags time and time again. For our shareholders, we take pride in the fact that our efforts over the last four years have delivered above-market returns including a 27 percent return on investment in 2013, a 56 percent return in 2012, and a 52 percent return in 2011. Our dividend yield, at close to 5 percent, remains among the highest in the U.S. market, and in 2013 we repurchased 14 percent of our outstanding shares—all while maintaining the lowest leverage ratio in the industry. We remain optimistic about the future of Six Flags and look forward to many more years of generating attractive returns for our shareholders. Thank you for your ongoing support of me, my colleagues and our company.

Spain I. Introduction “The flag is the embodiment, not of sentiment, but of history. It represents the experiences made by men and women, the experiences of those who do and live under that flag.” Woodrow Wilson1 “FLAG, n. A colored rag borne above troops and hoisted on forts and ships. It appears to serve the same purpose as certain signs that one sees on vacant lots in London—‘Rubbish may be shot here.’” Ambrose Bierce2 The power of the flag as a national symbol was all too evident in the 1990s: the constitutional debate over flag burning in the United States; the violent removal of the communist seal from the Romanian flag; and the adoption of the former czarist flag by the Russian Federation. In the United States, Texas alone possesses a flag and seal directly descended from revolution and nationhood. The distinctive feature of INSIDE / SOMMAIRE Page both the state flag and seal, the Lone Star, is famous worldwide because of the brief Editor’s Note / Note de la rédaction 2 existence of the Republic of Texas (March 2, 1836, to December 29, 1845).3 For all Solid Vexillology 2 the Lone Star’s fame, however, there is much misinformation about it.

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.
