Program Includes Branded Attraction at Six Flags Magic Mountain and
National Pre-Order Program with Exclusive Six Flags Benefits for
GameStop Customers
GRAND PRAIRIE, Texas–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Six Flags Entertainment Corporation (NYSE: SIX), the world’s largest
regional theme park company, and Activision Publishing, Inc. announced
today their partnership to support the upcoming release of the highly
anticipated Call of Duty®: Black Ops III, launching
worldwide on November 6, 2015, by re-naming the Apocalypse roller
coaster at Six Flags Magic Mountain the “Shadows of Evil” The Ride for
the entire run of Fright Fest®, September 26 – November 1.
Call of Duty: Black Ops III will descend on Six Flags Magic
Mountain in Valencia, California, with a terrifying experience based on
the game’s new Zombies mode, “Shadows of Evil.” For the first time in
the park’s history, the wooden coaster Apocalypse will be transformed
for Fright Fest, transporting guests to the 1940s Film Noir-inspired
Morg City, including zombie encounters and more.
This marks the third year Six Flags and Activision’s Call of Duty are
joining forces to support the Call of Duty® series, building off
the success of the national pre-order program supported inside parks and
at GameStop stores. Beginning September 1, 2015, any consumer, 17 years
old or older, who pre-orders Call of Duty: Black Ops III at
GameStop stores or GameStop.com will receive $10 off admission at Six
Flags and a complimentary Fright Fest attraction wristband valued at up

during select windows for guests to pre-order during their visit.

of Duty prize package.
