All Season The Flash Pass coming Six Flags

[CoasterCale]

So... SFMM has added a Flash Pass add-on similar to anything else you can add on to your regular season pass. However, it is very expensive and is priced at $500. This is ultimately worth it but is a hefty price. So here's the details on SFMM's.

Also a quick google search finds that at least SFNE and SFGAm will be receiving it. Access is denied but the page loads and URL says it all.

I'm not sure how I feel about this. While the price tag will deter some from buying it, I feel it's not going to help the park.

Now, if they're somehow able to use that flash pass money to hire more help, make the rides go smoother, etc then it would be worth it.

The price is definitely steep. You would have to visit the park seven times to get its value. I think they should have offered a regular tier to the system for those who don't want to pay $500, maybe $250 is feasible for a regular pass?

I don't think many people will use it from what i see most of the people who use flash pass are the people who come to the park once or twice a year who don't have season passes and whant to get on as many rides as possible.

[Jacklw6499]

Is this on the website?

[Guy_With_A_Stick]

I think this is marketed toward people like me who hate lines and come twice/thrice a week. I'd like this, yes, but it's waay too expensive.

[JaminOut]

^This.

I go to the park somewhat frequently, and this is something I would definitely look into this year. Again, who would want to pay $500 to skip the lines?

I have a friend that got season passes last year and will still do the fast passes. Personally, we're down there enough that we get to ride everything we want and if we don't get it this time, there is always the next time. However, we usually go with friends so we would have to pay for them to get the flash pass also. Just for my little family of 3 that would cost us $1500 more for the season. I can't say we would get $1500 more fun out of it.

If you go to the park often enough to have a season pass, this is an utter waste, really how many times can you ride stuff and still have it be entertaining

^I'm going to have to start traveling to other Six Flags parks with my pass because I'm getting bored of Great America's line up. Luckily, they don't ask as much for passes as Cedar Fair...

I honestly don't get bored of the rides. At each visit, I rotate what I ride. One day I'll ride Bull, Goliath, Eagle, and Viper, then the next I ride Batman, X-Flight, V2, and Viper(Viper is fabulous). It doesn't sound like it works, but it does. I'm not bored of the lineup. I find a new joy in the rides with each visit.

Sorry to double post, but the $500 price tag is the SALE price. It's supposed to be $790.

Sorry, but no.

Oh, Then buy it when it's on sale. I don't see the problem here.

[Guy_With_A_Stick]

$500 is barely a sale. $200 is. I'm not paying $500, let alone $800 to skip lines to rides I already rode. If it's able to be used at all SF parks, then maybe(depending on how many I go to in a year). Otherwise, no.

[Dan The Coaster Man]

I would like an all season flash pass. Who wouldn't? But $500+ is not worth it. I don't mind lines. Sure, I'd rather skip lines, but I'm not willing to spend more than $200 for it. I'll be okay in line.

[MrsTaxi]

If they lower the price to $300, I'll bite. $500 for each person? No thanks.

[Coaster Justin]

If you plan to visit more than 7 times, It would have paid for itself.


in my opinion, The park is way too crowded right now and this sounds like a great way to fix it (for people that are willing to buy it).

[Re-Check 9]

I think the pricing is appropriate. Any lower and one of two things will happen. Either fewer daily gold flash passes will be available, cutting into revenue, or Six Flags will increase the number of Flash Passes they issue, increasing wait times for everyone.

[CoasterCale]

Stuff at Flags is always on sale to make consumers feel like they're getting a greater deal than they actually are. Think of Michael's or Pay Less.

Honestly, this was something I was thinking about last year and the number I came up with that was "reasonable" was $500 as well. Granted I was thinking platinum passes and good for all SF parks but hey, it's a start?

Dining Passes are now allowed at all Six Flags Parks. Anything can happen.

My questions are what are these "blackout dates", and can I buy 2 all-season Flash Passes and link them both to my season pass (the second person may not always be the same person) or does the 2nd Flash Pass need to be linked to a second season pass?

Most likely some Fridays and Saturdays in October.

Also It's most likely 1 person= 1 pass


Gonna buy it on Sunday

Probably needs to be linked to a season pass just like the dining pass.

Am I reading it right though, is Goliath still a Platinum only ride?

Goliath is still platinum only, and it's only one all-season Flash Pass per season pass, but you can add more flash passes or upgrade to platinum on a daily basis in the park. Blackout dates are Saturdays during Fright Fest. I just bought it.
