As for Giant Drop those cars should(better) be fixed before FF starts.
So there’s some 2026 news going around that the Six Flags parks will be switching from the flash pass to the CF fast lane.
They will likely have it ready for FF. Last year was the first year since before COVID that it was ready in mid July.

The same maintenance team works on all the B&Ms, so Wrath was the priority this year (hence why Superman got its second train so late)

Just got off raging bull, never knew they added station music? It’s pretty cool, though they also replaced the op spiel with a generic spiel which sucks

They're closing insanely earlier, heck even early than SFA is this year

No there not. 11pm Saturdays in September and midnights in October on Saturdays.

They also didn’t publish the Halloween weekend hours. fright fest runs through Nov. 2nd. They just haven’t posted those hours yet.

Looks like 2026 Season Passes are accessible on the Six Flags website now. (Probably not supposed to be, though.) Prices are pretty cheap, especially with all parks included now. I'm going to wait and see what is happening with memberships, but I may have to finally cancel mine and get this if we don't get all parks included next year, too. Here is the link, purchase at your own risk:

Edit: I forgot to mention, if you click through to pass add-ons, it looks like the Paper Cup Plan is coming to Six Flags. Also, Flash Pass is going away for Fast Lane in 2026.

Is the parking for all Six Flags and Cedar Fair parks or just the park where you purchase from?

Anyone able to decipher what in the world is going on with Maxx Force in these pictures?

No idea what I'm looking at here. Looks like a bunch of brake fins and the catch car are removed or taken apart.

Probably those things had to be replaced or something

I liked the Wild West spiel Bull had previously. As for the op spiel was that the one from the early 2000’s?
