Ride TWICE as many rides every time you visit the park.

Biggest thing that bugs me about the normal season passes is that no matter when you buy it in the year, it expires at the end of the year. Often it does get cheaper later in the year, but you're still paying for only part of a year.

The Membership is the same price annually at least as compared to buying earlier in the year, like right now , but is good for the full year. It also helps that Magic Mountain is open year round just often only on weekends. The one downside is that you do indeed need to take action to cancel, instead of action to renew. I thought about switching over to the new membership, but honestly, I don't trust them with my financial information. Security breaches are far too common these days and I'd rather not give Six Flags permission to dip into my bank account each month.

I also don't want the hassle of having to remember to update my banking information with them every time my credit card renews. I'd rather make a one-time cash payment and be done with it for an entire year.

And it works the same way, making you forget that you have it. Or -- because of price increases -- you want to keep it, because if you cancel, and then change your mind, you will forever pay more for the same thing. Fiesta Texas looks to have its last weekend November , and its Wikipedia page showed "March to January" operating calendar, so it's open most of the year, and probably more than any other Six Flags outside of Valencia.

The remaining Six Flags parks are March-May to October, with a shorter season as you get farther north. I've always gone with a Season Pass over a Membership and will continue to do so as it is not that expensive and my visits to my local Six Flags Magic Mountain tend to vary in frequency.

Some years, I've gone six or seven times, plus visited Six Flags parks in other areas of the country, while in other years I've only gone once or twice. But that NJ with bad winters. It's made me reconsider the options. If, on the other hand, I borrow my dad's car to get to the park, a gold season pass works out to be slightly cheaper than a gold membership. I also was able to lock in hurricane harbor, gold and parking at the regular price as that was the current promotion.

No the monthly membership is 3 mor per month for what I already have.

I appreciate the membership recognition of this new program. This of course only works if it's a park you're going to go to year after year. I've had the "membership" at Busch Gardens for several years now at the Platinum level similar to the 6F Gold.

5 Reasons to Get a Six Flags Great America GOLD Season Pass

Additionally, my local park Georgia has typically offered its best price for the next year's season during Fright Fest which I usually buy then and be done with it. I cannot complain about the pricing - which has remained essentially static for years - especially since SFoG is adding a Hurricane Harbor water park free with admission and has also announced the addition of Holiday in the Park first time since the season , extending the season by 26 days into January This place isn't a rip off though.

This is just a regular theme park with large price tags. Just compare it to Disney. The tickets are cheap if you try to make them cheap. Season passes are the way to go though. If you love it, then buy it! You can always upgrade during the day, but beware of the line to upgrade. Hit the coasters in the morning, and then do little stuff in the afternoon. The water park will hit capacity in the afternoon, so if you want to get wet, go early to hurricane harbor. I urge you to buy flash pass if possible on crowded days. If you are a season pass holder, Friday's are a good night to go without the kids and do all of the things with little waits everywhere.

Haunted houses cost extra, but there is a season haunted house pass wich is good. Express is the way to go with houses. Overall, this is a good standard theme park. My co-worker and I went here in the summer a few months after I started work. They have a Discover Card line for card holders. There was absolutely no line, so we didn't waste the first 30 minutes waiting in lines.

How To Process Your Season Pass at Six Flags Great America

When we went there was a roller coaster that was closed due to inclement weather, even though it wasn't raining. It was a warm day so we enjoyed the water park and the free refills with the Six Flags cup. One of the best parks to go to for a fun time. Sure they're over priced and what not but its not a rip off. First of all, you can eat food in the parking lot, or drive out of the park to get some fast food or even go to the Walmart down the street. Food isn't a problem.

And the wait lines will get VERY long so be prepared to get a flash pass. Don't go for the Platinum which is the most expensive go for the regular. It's only about 20 minutes for a 2 hour wait line. Gold would be about 10 and Platinum a few minutes. How to have a successful day at SFGA: If you plan on getting there at opening, be there about an hour or two before. Upon entering, you will be sent to another set of lines. This is where you will enter the park and give your tickets. So you have finally entered the park. Some days it will not be packed, others it will. But if not, you're in luck for being there early.

So you can get numerous walk on rides before you decide the lines are too long. The process of getting on a ride is fairly simple and self explanatory. DONT be the person. So now you know the ride process, but how about how to SAVE money? There's an alternative which is called a 'membership'. You pay monthly even if the off season but it's worth it. You don't receive free parking though. Make sure to pack a lunch and some snacks. Or if you want to food fast, leave the park and go out into the town. SFGA allows each guest to bring in one sealed water bottle.

They have water fountains located in the park so you can easily refill it. I hope that helped ya : Six Flags is a great place. Don't let these reviews fool you. Staff is amazing and helpful, the place is clean. It's amazing.
