Item 8.01 Other Events
This information shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or

As previously disclosed in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the
quarterly period ended September 30, 2005, Six Flags, Inc. (the "Company") has
permanently closed its AstroWorld theme park in Houston as of the end of the
2005 season, and has engaged Cushman & Wakefield to market the 104-acre site to
the real estate development community. Beginning with the quarterly period ended
September 30, 2005, the operations and select assets of AstroWorld were reported
as discontinued operations. Under generally accepted accounting principles, the
Company is required to reclassify previously reported prior period financial
statements to reflect the discontinued operations on a basis comparable to the
current presentation. Generally accepted accounting principles require our
financial statements that were included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 2004, to be updated for discontinued operations in
our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005.
In order to assist investors' understanding of the treatment of the
operations and select assets of AstroWorld as discontinued operations on a
quarterly basis, the Company has posted to its website, and is furnishing
herewith, certain financial information that has been revised in advance of
filing our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005. The
information furnished herewith is consistent with the method in which the
Company's results were reported for the quarterly period ended September 30,
2005, and will be reported going forward.
