"Six Flags is an American institution that offers a perfect background for visitors to capture and share memorable Pentax digital photography."

Six Flags & Pentax - Sponsorship
Under the new Six Flags sponsorship, park visitors will discover imaging opportunities around every bend. On three select days during the 2005 season Pentax camera owners who present their camera at any Six Flags theme park admissions area will receive one free admission to that park, valid that day. At ten select parks, Pentax Click Crews equipped with Pentax OptioWP digital cameras will take photos and offer photography assistance to guests. Park guests will be able to view the photos taken by the Click Crews via a special Pentax web page and may send and receive those images via email to friends and family members. And last but not least All Six Flags parks will feature Pentax Picture Spots where visitors may capture images of their group with life-size character cutouts of Six Flags' "Ambassador of Fun," Mr. Six, set against the backdrop of the park's thrilling rides and attractions.

Sponsorship Six Flags & Pentax - Strong return-on-investment
