Six Flags Set to Fly

Cramer welcomed Six Flags (SIX Quote) CEO Mark Shapiro to the show and asked if the amusement company's recent quarter is signaling something bigger for the future.

Shapiro said Six Flags is in a good position for an "extremely good summer season." The group sales and season passes the company has already sold show that it's "well-positioned to knock it out of the park this year," Shapiro said.

Six Flags has spent more money on marketing and training its staff, and it has recruited more employees, the chief executive continued. Although the company can't control what the weather will be like, Shapiro said what it can do is "increase value proposition for our guests."

After all, "word of mouth is the best advertising we can get," he said.

Cramer said that "Shapiro is good to go" and that he's sticking by him and his stock.
