Six Flags Marine World in Vallejo, Calif., is partnering with Blood Centers of the Pacific (BCP), to encourage more people to donate blood by donating tickets to the park’s popular Halloween celebration – FRIGHT FEST. Six Flags Marine World is also hosting a special blood drive to save lives on Thursday, (Sept. 28) from 2 p.m. – 6 p.m. at the park’s main entrance. All blood donors on Thursday will receive a free ticket and a bring-a-friend for half off coupon to Six Flags Marine World’s FRIGHT FEST.
“We’re so grateful to Six Flags Marine World for their generosity in helping us motivate people to donate blood,” said BCP President, Dr. Nora Hirschler. “The Bay Area faces constant blood shortages and we’re hopeful that this partnership will go a long way in making sure blood is available to patients who need it.”
Beginning Sept. 29 and running every Friday, Saturday and Sunday through Oct. 29, Six Flags Marine World transforms itself from ‘theme park’ to ‘scream park.’ FRIGHT FEST features activities for guests of all ages to take part in, from trick-or-treating for the youngsters to haunted mazes, scare zones and even a zombie-driven funeral procession for the brave, all combined with the Park’s impressive line-up of world-class roller coasters and family rides, amazing animal attractions and sensational shows. Taking place during select times throughout the night at each of the haunted mazes, daring guests wanting to enhance their FRIGHT FEST experience can “eat their way to the front of the line” by feasting on a live cockroach. Those brave enough to savor each bite will enjoy exclusive front of the line access for that attraction for themselves and three other friends or family members.
Blood Centers of the Pacific is a nonprofit organization that provides volunteer blood donations to 40 hospitals throughout Northern California. For more information, visit http://www.bloodcenters.org.
