"With over 25 million guests annually, Six Flags provides the ideal platform to showcase our line of Chrysler, Jeep, and Dodge vehicles and strategically engage consumers through dynamic and endemic marketing touch points in a fun and interactive way," said Michael Accavitti, President & CEO, Dodge Brand and Chrysler Group LLC Marketing.
