            WHEREAS, the Executive, the Company and Six Flags Operations,
Inc. are parties to an Employment Agreement, dated as of December 31, 2003 (the
"Employment Agreement");

            WHEREAS, the Executive and the Company have mutually agreed to the
termination of the Executive's employment as Chief Executive Officer, President
and Chief Operating Officer of the Company; and

            WHEREAS, the Executive and the Company desire to set forth herein
the terms and conditions of the termination of the Executive's employment with
the Company.

            NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants set forth
herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, it is hereby agreed as
follows:

            1. Termination of Employment. The Executive's employment as Chief
Executive Officer, President and Chief Operating Officer of the Company
terminated on December 13, 2005 (the "Termination Date") upon the terms and
conditions set forth herein. The Executive does hereby resign from any and all
director, officer and employee positions held by the Executive in any Subsidiary
(as defined in Section 10(c)(i) hereof ) or Affiliate (as defined in Section
10(c)(ii) hereof) of the Company as of the Termination Date.

            2. Consulting Services. From the Termination Date until March 15,
2006, the Executive shall provide such consulting services to the Company as the
Chief Executive Officer of the Company shall reasonably request and at such
times and at such locations that are mutually agreeable to the Executive and the
Company; provided, however, that such consulting services to be provided by the
Executive shall not interfere with the Executive's other business commitments.

            3. Payments. (a) The Company shall pay the Executive, by wire
transfer on December 14, 2005 to an account designated by the Executive, the
following amounts:

                        (i) $7,000,000; and

<PAGE>

                        (ii) $2,334,000, which represents the bonus required to
be paid to the Executive pursuant to the Employment Agreement in respect of the
Company's 2005 fiscal year pursuant to the formula previously adopted by the
Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of Directors and determined as if
the Company's EBITDA for such fiscal year equals $300 million.

                  (b) The Company shall pay the Executive the Base Salary (as
defined in Section 5(a) of the Employment Agreement) in effect immediately prior
to the Termination Date through the Termination Date.

                  (c) The Company shall pay or provide the Executive any amounts
earned, accrued or owing as of the Termination Date but not yet paid under
Section 6 of the Employment Agreement.

            4. Equity Awards. As required by the terms of the Employment
Agreement, the Company shall grant, effective immediately prior to the
effectiveness of the termination of the Executive's employment with the Company,
to the Executive under the Company's 2001 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the
"2001 Plan") a stock option (the "Stock Option") to purchase 240,000 shares of
the Company's Common Stock, par value $.025 per share ( "Common Stock"). The
Stock Option shall have an exercise price per share equal to the fair market
value (as defined in the 2001 Plan) of a share of Common Stock on the date of
grant, shall be fully vested and exercisable on the Termination Date, shall be
exercisable for a period of 90 days after the Termination Date, and shall have
such other terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the foregoing or with any
other provision of this Agreement, as are customarily contained in the grant
letters under the 2001 Plan heretofore issued by the Company. In the event of a
stock dividend, stock split, share combination, exchange of shares,
recapitalization, merger, consolidation, reorganization, liquidation or other
comparable changes or transactions of or by the Company, an appropriate
adjustment to the number of shares of Common Stock into which the Stock Option
is exercisable shall be made to give proper effect to such event.

            In addition, all Options previously granted to the Executive prior
to the Termination Date shall be fully vested and exercisable as of the
Termination Date. Such Options, and any other stock options previously granted
to the Executive to the extent exercisable on the Termination Date, shall be
exercisable for a period of 90 days after the Termination Date, and shall be
subject to adjustment as provided in this Section 4(a).

                  (b) As required by the terms of the Employment Agreement, the
Company shall grant, effective immediately prior to the effectiveness of the
termination of the Executive's employment with the Company, to the Executive
80,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock (the "Shares"). The Shares shall not
be subject to any restrictions and no Restriction Period shall apply to the
Shares. Share certificates evidencing such Shares shall be delivered to the
Executive as promptly as practicable after the Termination Date.

            In addition, the Restriction Period with respect to all Restricted
Shares previously granted to the Executive prior to the Termination Date shall
automatically and immediately expire as of the Termination Date. To the extent
not previously delivered to the Executive, share certificates evidencing such
Restricted Shares, and any other Restricted Shares previously granted to the
Executive as to which the Restriction Period had expired prior to the
Termination Date, shall be delivered to the Executive as promptly as practicable
after the Termination Date.

                  (c) For purposes of this Agreement:

                        (i) "Options" shall have the meaning ascribed to such
term in Section 5(d) of the Employment Agreement.

                        (ii) "Restriction Period" shall have the meaning
ascribed to such term in Section 9(c)(iii) of the Employment Agreement.

                        (iii) "Restricted Shares" shall have the meaning
ascribed to such term in Section 9(a) of the Employment Agreement.

            5. Benefits. The Executive shall be entitled to:

                  (a) continued participation at the Company's expense in
medical, dental and hospitalization insurance coverage and in all other employee
benefit plans and programs in which he was participating on or immediately prior
to the Termination Date for a period equal to the longest of (i) 6 months from
the Termination Date, (ii) the minimum period prescribed by applicable law or
(iii) the period set forth in the applicable plan or program of the Company; and

                  (b) other or additional benefits in accordance with applicable
plans and programs of the Company.

            6. Reimbursement of Expenses. The Company shall pay or reimburse the
Executive for all reasonable travel, entertainment and other business expenses
actually incurred or paid by the Executive in the performance of his duties
under the Employment Agreement through the Termination Date or in the
performance of his duties under Section 2 hereof, in each case, upon
presentation of expense statements or vouchers or such other supporting
information as the Company may reasonably require.

            7. Golden Parachute Payment Excise Tax Gross-Up. As required by the
terms of the Employment Agreement, in the event that the Executive receives any
payments or benefits pursuant to this Agreement, including accelerated issuance
or vesting of restricted stock or stock options, then the Company shall pay the
Executive any additional amounts that are required to be paid by the Executive
as excise taxes imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended, in respect to the aggregate of all payments or benefits made or
provided to the Executive under this Agreement or under any other plans or
programs of the Company.

            8. No Mitigation. The Executive shall be under no obligation to seek
other employment.

            9. Non-Disparagement. (a) The Executive shall take no action which

Company or any of its Subsidiaries, Affiliates, officers or directors.

                  (b) The Company shall make no public statement, and shall
direct its officers and directors not to take any action or make any statement,
which is intended or would reasonably be expected to damage or otherwise
materially diminish the Executive's reputation, or lead to unwanted or
unfavorable publicity to the Executive.

                  (c) Notwithstanding the obligations of this Section 9 or any
other obligation to the contrary, the Executive and the Company are permitted to
provide truthful and accurate information if required by any court or government
agency or body or as otherwise required by law.

            10. Releases. (a) The Executive hereby releases and discharges the
Company, each of its Subsidiaries and Affiliates, and their respective past and
present officers, directors, shareholders, employees and agents (but only in
their capacities as such) (the "Company Releasees") from any and all claims and
causes of action, known or unknown, asserted or unasserted, which the Executive
has or may have against the Company Releasees for compensation and benefits
existing at any time on or prior to the Termination Date, other than pursuant to
(i) this Agreement, (ii) the Indemnity Agreement, dated as of September 16,

(iii) each other benefit plan or arrangement in which the Executive has
participated during his employment with the Company, as reflected on the books
and records of the Company. The foregoing release does not include the
Executive's right to enforce the terms of this Agreement or the Indemnity
Agreement.

                  (b) The Company, on behalf of itself, each of its Subsidiaries
and Affiliates, and their respective past and present officers, directors,
shareholders, employees and agents (but only in their capacities as such),
hereby releases and discharges the Executive, his heirs, executors and assigns
(hereafter, the "Executive Releasees") from any and all claims and causes of
action, known or unknown, asserted or unasserted, which the Company and each
Subsidiary and Affiliate, or any of them, have or may have against the Executive
Releasees, for (i) conduct, acts or omissions by the Executive occurring or
existing at any time on or prior to the Termination Date to the extent that such
conduct, acts or omissions constitute gross negligence or any lesser standard of
culpability on the part of the Executive in the performance of his duties and
obligations (x) as Chairman of the Board, President, Chief Executive Officer and
Chief Operating Officer of the Company, (y) as a director, officer or employee
of the Company, its Subsidiaries and its Affiliates, and their respective
predecessors, and (z) as a fiduciary, trustee or member of any committee with
respect to any employee benefit or compensation plan or program of the Company,
its Subsidiaries and its Affiliates, and their respective predecessors, or (ii)
claims by the Company arising under the Employment Agreement, existing at any
time on or prior to the Termination Date.

                  (c) For purposes of this Agreement:

                        (i) "Subsidiary" shall mean, in respect of any person,
any corporation, association, partnership or other business entity of which more
than 50% of the total voting power of shares of capital stock or other interests
(including partnership interests) entitled (without regard to the occurrence of
any contingency) to vote in the election of directors, managers or trustees
thereof is at the time owned or controlled, directly or indirectly, by (x) such
person, (y) such person and one or more Subsidiaries of such person or (z) one

securities, by contract or otherwise.

            11. Indemnification. (a) The Executive shall be entitled to the
benefit of the indemnification provisions contained on December 31, 2003 in the
Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws of the Company (not including any
amendments or additions thereafter that limit or narrow, but including any that
add to or broaden, the protection afforded to the Executive by those
provisions), to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law at the time of
the assertion of any liability against the Executive in respect of any matter
relating to the period during which the Executive is employed by the Company, no
matter when arising.

                  (b) The Company hereby represents that during the period in
which the Executive was employed by the Company, the Company maintained a
directors' and officers' liability insurance policy covering the Executive to
the extent the Company provided such coverage for its other executive officers,
which policy was maintained on a claims occurred, rather than claims made,
basis.

            12. Covenant Not-to-Compete. During the two years following the
Termination Date (the "Covenant Period"):

                  (a) The Executive agrees that he will not, directly or
indirectly, as a partner, officer, employee, director, stockholder, proprietor,
member, consultant, representative, agent or otherwise become or be interested
in, or associate with or render assistance to any person engaged in the
ownership, operation and/or management of any water park, amusement park, theme
park, marine or wildlife park, outdoor mini-theme park or family amusement or
entertainment center (collectively, "Parks") located within the United States of
America (or in the event the Company owns or otherwise operates any Park outside
the United States of America, in any location within a 250 mile radius of such
location); provided, however, that the foregoing shall not be deemed to prohibit
the Executive from (i) acquiring, solely as an investment, securities of any
person which are registered under Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") and which are publicly
traded, so long as he is not part of any group required to make any filing under
Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act in respect of such person and such securities
do not constitute 2% or more of any class of outstanding securities of such
person or (ii) acquiring, solely as an investment, any securities of any person
(other than a person that has outstanding securities covered by the preceding
clause (i)) so long as he remains a passive investor in such person and does not
become part of any control group thereof and so long as such person is not,
directly or indirectly, in competition with the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries. For purposes of the foregoing, a person shall be deemed to be in
competition with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries if it (or its
Subsidiaries or Affiliates) is then engaged in any line of business that is
substantially the same as any line of business in which the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries is engaged.

                  (b) The Executive agrees that he will not, directly or
indirectly, during the Covenant Period, for his own benefit or for the benefit
of any other person knowingly solicit the professional services of any employee
of the Company or any Subsidiary or any person who had been such an employee
within three months prior thereto or otherwise interfere with the relationship
between the Company or any Subsidiary and any of such persons.

                  (c) The Executive recognizes and acknowledges that, in
connection with his employment by the Company, he has had access to valuable
trade secrets and confidential information of the Company and its Subsidiaries
and Affiliates including, but not limited to, customer and supplier lists,
business methods and processes, marketing, promotional, pricing and financial
information and data relating to employees and agents (collectively,
"Confidential Information") and that such Confidential Information was being
made available to the Executive only in connection with the furtherance of his
employment by the Company. The Executive agrees that after Termination Date, he
will not use or disclose any of such Confidential Information to any person,
except that disclosure of Confidential Information will be permitted: (i) to the
Company, its Subsidiaries and Affiliates and their respective advisors; (ii) if
such Confidential Information has previously become available to the public
through no fault of the Executive; (iii) if required by any court or
governmental agency or body or is otherwise required by law; (iv) if necessary
to establish or assert the rights of the Executive hereunder; or (v) if
expressly consented to by the Company.

                  (d) The parties agree that a violation of the foregoing
agreements not to compete or disclose, or any provision thereof, will cause
irreparable damage to the Company, and the Company shall be entitled (without
any requirement of posting a bond or other security), in addition to any other
rights and remedies which it may have, at law or in equity, to an injunction
enjoining and restraining the Executive from doing or continuing to do any such
act or any other violations or threatened violations of this Section 12.

                  (e) The Executive acknowledges and agrees that the restrictive
covenants set forth in this Section 12 (the "Restrictive Covenants") are
reasonable and valid in geographical and temporal scope and in all other
respects. If any court determines that any of the Restrictive Covenants, or any
part thereof, is invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of the Restrictive
Covenants shall not thereby be affected and shall be given full force and
effect, without regard to the invalid or unenforceable parts.

                  (f) If any court determines that any of the Restrictive
Covenants, or any part thereof, is invalid or unenforceable for any reason, such
court shall have the power to modify such Restrictive Covenant, or any part
thereof, and, in its modified form, such Restrictive Covenant shall then be
valid and enforceable.

            13. Severability. Should any provision of this Agreement be held, by
a court of competent jurisdiction, to be invalid or unenforceable, such
invalidity or unenforceability shall not render the entire Agreement invalid or
unenforceable, and this Agreement and each individual provision hereof shall be
enforceable and valid to the fullest extent permitted by law.

            14. Successors and Assigns. (a) This Agreement and all rights under
this Agreement are personal to the Executive and shall not be assignable other
than by will or the laws of descent. All of the Executive's rights under this

                  (b) This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be
binding upon the Company and its successors and assigns. Any person succeeding
to the business of the Company by merger, purchase, consolidation or otherwise
shall assume by contract or operation of law the obligations of the Company
under this Agreement.

in accordance with the Company's policies applicable to senior executives of the
Company and the provisions of any applicable employee benefit plan or program of
the Company.

            18. Complete Understanding. This Agreement supersedes any prior
contracts, understandings, discussions and agreements relating to employment
between the Executive and the Company and constitutes the complete understanding
between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, including but not
limited to the Binding Term Sheet between the parties dated December 13, 2005.

                              EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

            THIS AMENDMENT ("Amendment"), dated as of December 23, 2005,
between SIX FLAGS, INC., a Delaware corporation, SIX FLAGS OPERATIONS INC., a
Delaware corporation (together with Six Flags, Inc., the "Company"), and
JAMES F. DANNHAUSER (the "Executive").

                              W I T N E S S E T H:
                              - - - - - - - - - -

            WHEREAS, the Executive currently serves as the Chief Financial
Officer of the Company;

            WHEREAS, the Executive and the Company are parties to an Employment
Agreement, dated as of December 31, 2003 (the "Employment Agreement"); and

            WHEREAS, the Executive and the Company desire to amend the
Employment Agreement on the terms and conditions set forth herein.

            NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants set forth
herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, it is hereby agreed as
follows:

            1. Termination Effective April 1, 2006. Notwithstanding any
provision in the Employment Agreement to the contrary, the Executive shall
continue his employment as the Chief Financial Officer of the Company from the
date hereof until April 1, 2006, and neither the Executive nor the Company shall
terminate the Executive's employment prior to April 1, 2006; provided, however,
that the Company may terminate the Executive's employment for Cause (as defined
in Section 1(b) hereof) in accordance with Section 10(c) of the Employment
Agreement. Either the Executive or the Company may terminate the Executive's
employment effective April 1, 2006 (but not prior to such date) upon the
provision of no less than fifteen (15) days' written notice to the other party.

                  (b) For purposes of the proviso in Section 1(a) hereof,
"Cause" shall mean (i) the conviction of the Executive of a crime which
constitutes a felony involving moral turpitude under applicable law or by the
entering by him of a plea of guilty or nolo contendere with respect thereto or
(ii) the commission by the Executive of any act involving fraud, intentional
misappropriation of Company funds or other intentional misconduct materially
injurious to the Company.

            2. Effect of Termination Effective April 1, 2006. In the event the
Executive's employment is terminated in accordance with Section 1 hereof:

                  (a) The Company shall pay the Executive, by wire transfer on
April 1, 2006 (or, if required by Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, on October 1, 2006) to an account designated
by the Executive, $5.25 million.

                  (b) The Company shall pay the Executive the Base Salary then
in effect through April 1, 2006. For avoidance of any doubt, the Base Salary
from and after January 1, 2006 shall be payable at a rate of $850,000 per annum.

                  (c) The Company shall grant, effective immediately prior to
the effectiveness of the termination of the Executive's employment with the
Company, to the Executive under the 2001 Plan a stock option (the "Stock
Option") to purchase 75,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock. The Stock
Option shall have an exercise price per share equal to the fair market value (as
defined in the 2001 Plan) of a share of Common Stock on the date of grant, shall
be fully vested and exercisable on April 1, 2006, shall be exercisable for a
period of 90 days after April 1, 2006, and shall have such other terms and
conditions, not inconsistent with the foregoing or with any other provision of
the Employment Agreement or this Amendment, as are customarily contained in the
grant letters under the 2001 Plan heretofore issued by the Company. In the event
of a stock dividend, stock split, share combination, exchange of shares,
recapitalization, merger, consolidation, reorganization, liquidation or other
comparable changes or transactions of or by the Company, an appropriate
