SIX FLAGS CLARIFIES ISLAMIC HEADSCARF POLICY

(WASHINGTON, D.C., 7/12/02) - Six Flags Inc. has clarified its policy on
allowing Muslim women to wear headscarves while on amusement parks rides.
The clarification came after lengthy discussions with the Council on
American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), a national Islamic advocacy group.

CAIR contacted Six Flags after receiving a number of complaints from Muslim
women who said they were denied access to roller-coaster rides by employees
of Six Flags New England. The scarves were cited as potential safety
hazards.

According to Six Flags, the clarified policy will allow Muslim women to
wear their religiously-mandated headscarves on all park rides, providing
they are securely fastened. Company officials assured CAIR that a memo
reflecting this clarification will be circulated to Six Flags parks
nationwide.

"We appreciate Six Flags willingness to accommodate the religious concerns
of Muslim customers while at the same time maintaining necessary safety
standards," said CAIR Communications Coordinator Hodan Hassan.
