During Holiday in the Park®, Six Flags' annual holiday extravaganza which opened November 19 and operates on select days through January 1, visitors to the parks in New Jersey (Six Flags Great Adventure), the Washington, D.C. area (Six Flags America), Georgia (Six Flags Over Georgia), Missouri (Six Flags St. Louis), Texas (Six Flags Over Texas and Six Flags Fiesta Texas), and California (Six Flags Magic Mountain and Six Flags Discovery Kingdom), will be treated to an exciting preview of the movie on Six Flag TV, the in-park television network that entertains the parks' millions of guests as they stroll throughout the parks.
On Saturday and Sunday, December 10 and 11, and again on December 17 and 18, volunteers will be on hand to explain and demonstrate how to play the Yu-Gi-Oh! TRADING CARD GAME. Tagged as “Demo Days,” the on-site demonstrations are designed to engage new enthusiasts for the brand while also reminding fans of the upcoming movie's U.S. release on January 27, 2017.
Jennifer Coleman, Vice President of Marketing and Licensing, said: “We are pleased to present this exciting opportunity for people to experience the world's favorite trading card game at their favorite theme park. Six Flags is the perfect promotional partner for us to engage with our fans, gain new fans and share in the excitement over the Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Dark Side of Dimensions movie release.”

We are always looking for fun and entertaining ways to enhance the park experience and we believe our guests will enjoy playing the game with family and friends.”
In Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Dark Side of Dimensions, the stakes have never been higher; the rivalries never as fierce; the risks never so great. One wrong move—one card short—and it's game over for good. A decade in the making, Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Dark Side of Dimensions features new designs and an all-new story from the original creator of the global phenomenon, Kazuki Takahashi. His masterful tale features anime's most beloved characters in their long-awaited return: Yugi Muto, Seto Kaiba and their faithful friends Joey Wheeler, Tristan Taylor, Téa Gardner and Bakura. It's the most highly anticipated re-YU-nion ever!
In addition to the Yu-Gi-Oh! TRADING CARD GAME, video games and feature films, the brand also includes the Yu-Gi-Oh! animated franchise, with over 700 episodes spanning from the first series “Yu-Gi-Oh!” Duel Monsters, followed by “Yu-Gi-Oh! GX”, “Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's”, “Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal” and “Yu-Gi-Oh! Arc-V.”
