Wristband Flash Passes?

Talk about anything that has to do with Six Flags Great America and Hurricane Harbor here.

I know in Hurricane Harbor they've introduced the Flash Pass, but could it actually the new age of THE FLASH PASS? Personally, I would find a wristband much more efficient, considering that some people go to the park and buy a flash pass, then have nothing to clip it onto. Possibly little kiosks like HH has but many more of them, or maybe the Lo-Q system built into a wristband? To be honest though, Six Flags would most likely make a lot more money using the method that Cedar Fair does with Fast Lane

The fast lane(correct me if i am wrong) is actually owned by cedar fair and is not a different company. Flash pass is actually a different company that is paying to be in Six Flags parks from what i was told so six flags doesn't have to pay all the flash pass employees. They are paid by the Flash pass company!

Correct! The Flash Pass employees are NOT employed by the park. The Flash Pass is an outside company that is hired by Six Flags. This is more affordable for Six Flags as they would have to pay and employee all these extra employees for the Flash Pass! Personally, I would like to see them do what DisneyWorld does with their Fast Pass that's available to all park guests!

Personally, I believe it would be more convenient to have it specially for season pass holders, unless they change the shape of their one day tickets to make it look like a regular card

The way I see it, is that Six Flags has the cheaper season pass, and they try to get people to buy the food pass, and buy the flash pass. Disney is super expensive, and a perk is we will let you get fast passes for "free". To me, it's like Holiday World. I don't believe that Holiday World is worth $45, but than they give the perks to the people like "free" soda, and "free" parking, so than you think you are getting a great deal. I just see Holiday World has a Kiddieland / Santa's Village with 3 bigger coasters, and a waterpark attached.

Anyway, I just don't see the Flash Pass going away in the regular park anytime soon. They just get a lot of money off of that. The Six Flags admission / season pass price would have to skyrocket in order to get it "free".
