Six Flags Over Georgia announces military appreciation days

May 30, 2003

Atlanta - Six Flags Over Georgia is preparing to make a special salute to our nation's armed forces with a week of deep discounts and free admission for active service members and their families. This special promotion coincides with Salute 2 America, the park's weeklong celebration leading up to Independence Day.

From June 28 to July 5, active members of the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, and Coast Guard can receive almost half off one-day admission to the park. To redeem this discount, service members must show their military ID June 28 - July 5 at any Six Flags Over Georgia ticket booth to receive tickets for themselves and immediate family at a discounted rate of $22.95 plus tax.

In addition to this weeklong discount program, Six Flags Over Georgia will be holding select free admission days for each branch of service. During each service day, members of that particular branch of the armed forces may receive free admission for themselves and immediate family members (up to five tickets total).

Individual service days are:

Army Day June 30

Marine Corps Day July 1

Navy and Coast Guard Day July 2

Air Force Day July 3 Service members may show their active ID card at any Six Flags Over Georgia ticket booth to receive up to 5 free tickets total on their select service day.

Non-military guests can give their support too. From June 28 to July 5 The U.S. Marine Corps and Six Flags Over Georgia will be collecting toys for Toys For Tots at the park. Guests who bring an unwrapped toy to designated collection points at the park's front gate area can receive a coupon good for $15 off a one-day, full-price ticket good during Salute 2 America.

All guests will also have access to several military displays in and around the park throughout the week of Salute 2 America, including Cobra attack helicopters, Humvees, and more. So come out and join Six Flags Over Georgia in thanking our nation's armed forces for all the hard work that they do.

Salute 2 America is part of the new "Celebration" event series at Six Flags Over Georgia. Other events in the series include Party Gras, Atlanta Fest, Country Star Jamboree, and Fright Fest. Each event in the series is now bigger and better than ever, with additional investment to provide guests with even better Streetmosphere, live music, park-wide games, prizes and giveaways, and much more.

Salute 2 America will include a week full of "all-American" fun and excitement including nightly fireworks displays, Uncle Sam's Hot Rod Jam (car show), and a special concert by Lee Greenwood on July 5.
