Snyder, an individual ("Mr. Snyder") (collectively, the "Reporting Persons"), with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 30, 2004 (the "Schedule 13D"), relating to shares of common stock, par value $.025 per share, of Six Flags, Inc. (the "Company"). Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is amended and supplemented as follows: Item 4. Purpose of Transaction. On September 2, 2004, Red Zone, on behalf of the Reporting Persons, delivered a letter to the independent members of the Board of Directors of the Company. The letter, among other things, expressed Mr. Snyder's desire to meet with members of the Board of Directors to discuss ways to improve the Company's performance. A copy of the letter is attached to this Amendment as Exhibit 2. Item 7. Materials to be Filed as Exhibits. The following exhibits are filed with this Amendment: EXHIBIT 2 Letter, dated September 2, 2004, from Red Zone LLC to the Independent Members of the Board of Directors of Six Flags, Inc. Signature. After reasonable inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and belief, I certify that the information set forth in this statement is true, complete and correct. Dated: September 2, 2004 RED ZONE LLC By: /s/ Daniel M. Snyder ------------------------------------- Name: Daniel M. Snyder Title: Managing Member /s/ Daniel M. Snyder - ------------------------------------------ Daniel M. Snyder EXHIBIT 2 RED ZONE, LLC 21300 Redskins Park Drive Ashburn, Virginia 20147 September 2, 2004 Independent Members of the Board of Directors Six Flags, Inc. c/o Six Flags, Inc. 122 East 42nd Street New York, NY 10168 Gentlemen: As you may know from the Schedule 13D that was recently filed on behalf of Red Zone LLC ("Red Zone") with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Red Zone is the beneficial owner of approximately 8.76% of the outstanding common stock of Six Flags, Inc. (the "Company"). On Wednesday, Sept. 1, 2004, I spoke with Kieran Burke, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, and requested a meeting to discuss ways to improve the Company's performance. Mr. Burke stated that he could not agree to meet without first speaking to his lawyers. I have not heard from Mr. Burke since our brief telephone conversation. I trust that he has advised you of my investment in the Company and my concern about its performance. Since current management of the Company apparently feels its time is better spent speaking with attorneys rather than exploring ways to improve shareholder value, I am writing to request a meeting with the non-officer outside directors of the Company's Board of Directors. I am very concerned about the consistently disappointing performance of the Company. This must be addressed immediately - shareholders should not have to suffer through one more period of poor financial performance or one more announcement that the Company will miss its expected numbers. In addition, in light of the seasonal nature of the business, it is critical that current sales, marketing, and operating practices be corrected quickly in time to impact operating performance in coming seasons. Accordingly, I would like to meet with the Board of Directors to discuss several measures that the Company should consider implementing in order to increase revenues and decrease expenses. Due to the urgency of this matter, I am available to meet with the members of the Board of Directors immediately and would like to do so as soon as possible, wherever and whenever is most convenient for the members of the Board of Directors. I look forward to hearing from you promptly. RED ZONE LLC By: /s/ Daniel M. Snyder ------------------------------------ Name: Daniel M.
