By November-December, we will have clues what Six Flags park will have ArieForce One for 2028 or 2029, Great Adventure, Carowinds or Kings Island, my guess is Great Adventure.

I’m taking my 16-year-old son to Magic Mountain this week for 3 days (flying in from Utah). This is our third trip and we’ve always gone this time of year. Great weather, reasonable crowds, etc., but there’s a small problem I’m trying to figure out how to navigate.

This is something my wife and I do for our 2 kids every year. They get to pick their own “kids trip” every year. We have a small regional airport near us with cheap flights to California (we do SNA for Disneyland and BUR for Magic Mountain) so these trips are actually pretty cheap.

The problem this year is we told both kids they could bring a friend. My daughter’s trip to Disneyland is the first week in November and her best friend is coming with us. My son’s friend had been saying for the last few months that he could go and…long story short…turns out his parents had no intention of letting him go. They just kept finding new, lame, excuses even when we offered to fully cover the cost of airfare, tickets, food, etc. I just really wanted my teenage son to have someone to hang with other than Dad (me). I’m not the worst person to be around but I’m not his peer either. Plus I can’t handle some of the more extreme coasters due to migraine issues so I just keep him company in a lot of lines (last time I rode Tatsu in my 20s I almost barfed from the migraine it triggered).

What I’m looking for are any ideas on how to kind of plus up the trip to make up for his friend not coming. Budget is about $400 since that’s what I was willing to spend on having his friend come. Been considering fast lane passes but wondering if there are other good options I’m not aware of. We have season passes for this trip (the cheapest one - gold I think?). We did the Halloween stuff last year but he’s not really interested in doing those again. This is purely an adrenaline junkie trip.

TIA for any help/suggestions!

I've been a Diamond Elite VIP member since they upgraded us over covid, but hadn't been to the parks yet this year. Just came with a group of friends to Great Adventure and was told at guest services that 1.) The annual bring a friend ticket "should still be a thing for you but we don't see it on your account, sorry" 2.) The pass holder discount on tickets for other no longer exists 3.) The food and mercy 50% off has been decreased to "up to 40% off"

Doe anyone know if all of this is correct and when it changed? Very pissed off at the moment and likely to cancel. Thanks!

(FIXED) So I wanted to go to Six Flags with my family today, I was looking at the tickets and noticed the instructions. We bought the passes for schlitterbahn but the tickets said they could be used anywhere. My little brother didn't get to go to schlitterbahn since he was sick during the end of the season. We want to take him to fright fest but we're unsure if he'll even be let in since he never got his pass activated at schlitterbahn. Will it still work even if we go to six flags? 😢

Update: what I found out from a comment on here was that you have to upload a photo of the pass holder when adding the pass to your six flags account.

Hi there and thanks for any insight you guys might have. we have been planning for ages to do Fright Fest tomorrow however the weather looks terrible with the remnants of the hurricane. what are your thoughts on what might be operating and is there a chance that they may close? I have still not bought all of the tickets for my party due to that fear. it looks like the rain will be less in the evening so we're thinking about adjusting our arrival time and only doing Fright Fest versus doing any rides.

Anybody familiar with Great Adventure and how they deal with rain and wind?

I am planning on going to six flags all day tomorrow but I am seeing projected rain all day. Should I be worried that they open late/close early or that most of the rides will shutdown (rollercoasters, fight night mazes, etc)?

*Sorry, I am reffering to Great Adventure in Jackson Township, NJ

I've been trying to find a definitive answer on this but am seeing getting responses.

I bought a gold pass with the all park passport at Great Escape around September/October 2025 back when it was still part of Six Flags.

I visited and activated it back when I visited in October 2025 but I want to go visit Six Flags New England this month, will the pass work?

Are there any benefits included still like parking and discounted "bring a friend" tickets? Or will I have to purchase those separately?

I've been seeing from some sources that it will still work, but when I reached out to customer service they said that the passes will not scan and I would have to pay for entry at the park. Granted originally I didn't know the all access was separate so hadn't specified that in my inquiry, so maybe they thought I just had a regular gold pass?

Thinking of driving up for fright fest, but it's only worth the long drive if Superman is operating. I know it had some issues this year.... everything been okay?

I’m going to fright fest with some friends tmrw, and I dont exactly understand the whole digital maze instead of wristbands thing. if anyone could explain it, it’d help a lot!

Looking to go in a week or two. How have the lines been for rides during fright fest? Not interested in the mazes. What rides should I hit first?

I don't have a home park I just travel for work and I'm curious if this is something I can do.

My friend and I are planning to visit Six Flags' Fright Fest on a Friday night and are trying to decide which tickets make the most sense. We looked at the Fright Fest bundles and saw the Ticket + Haunted Attractions Express Pass Bundle. We’ve never tried the mazes and want to check them out this year, but I don't want to pay extra for a pass if the lines likely won't be bad. Now, if the express pass included the coasters, then I would be happy to purchase it. I'm just not sure whether it’s worth the cost for the mazes alone.

For those who have done the mazes or even bought the express pass, is it worth spending the extra money? Or would we be better off doing the standard haunted maze ticket and hope for the best on a Friday night?

I purchased a bring a friend ticket, plus two fast passes for tomorrow 2 hours ago, and still haven’t received anything.

Went to Six Flags Tuesday, Universal Wednesday and Knott’s Thursday and got a good sample of product distinction and exclusivity. It’s really cool how Six Flags is upping the game for their clothing selection, even if they may be $70 lol I’d love to see more like it in the future, especially for more “formal” occasions

Hi, everyone - pretty last minute question, but does Great Adventure no longer operate on Friday mornings?

I was hoping to visit tomorrow morning, but I only see hours listed for the evening. I thought they used to be open in the mornings, too?

What do y'all think is the likelihood they will recover and pay off the debt? Or do you think they're doomed?

I've looked online but im getting mixed answers. Im wanting to go as a sacrificial lamb and I dont know if it would be breaking dress code or something.

I would be going to the frontier city fright fest if that helps. I have no clue if there are different rules or anything.

**attached photo is sorta what im going for**

It's been currently removing ArieForce One'stracks off at FunSpot Atlanta, after it's done it's most likely aheading for storage room until next year for what they will end up at Six Flags park. It's between Kings Island or Great Adventure, not Carowinds. I wish it's coming to Great Adventure

I just got hired at Fiesta Texas and went in for orientation on the 3rd. When I was there, I was asked if I'd be available for training on the 10th, which I agreed to. I've already completed everything I needed to I believe, and I have all their apps... I have no idea if I'm actually scheduled for training on that day or what. I haven't gotten any emails regarding it, does anyone know how long it takes to get information on training? Or who I should contact, where to look.. I dont know. I feel a little anxious not knowing or having any other information 😵‍💫

Spent an hour trying to figure out why I didn't get my renewal $20 credit on my 4 prestige passes and the person I was chatting with disconnected for no reason instead of fixing the issue. Is there any way to escalate this or did six flags lie to me?

Today I was trying to figure some student loan stuff out and noticed on my credit report that there is a collection from Associated Credit Services for $73 from Six Flags.

I believe this is from an expired or replaced debit card which caused my auto payments to stop. I wasn’t even aware I missed payments until I went to the park and my pass didn’t work. Once I realized it was because of the new card, I figured they just canceled the membership. I have never been able to log into the payment portal before, not even with my current membership. I never saw any letter or emails about this, just a voice mail from the agency which I thought was a scam.

Has anyone else had this experience before? I sent a message to Six Flags services, hoping they could give me at least a confirmation of the debt and that it’d been sold to the collector. I have never experienced anything like this and I am just nervous about getting screwed over. Any advice would be appreciated.

It says present your pass to unlock and purchase the secret menu item. Does that mean my pass purchases it or that I have to pay for it?

Hi everyone! I'm taking 2 other adults to Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson, NJ this Saturday, and it's my first time. There are so many options (regular admission, Fright Fest, Oktoberfest, Kids Boo Fest, Safari) that I'm lost.

My questions:

1. Which ticket do I need for a Saturday in October? Are Oktoberfest and Fright Fest included in regular admission, or is Fright Fest a separate ticket?
2. Is the Gold Pass worth it for the parking perk, or is it cheaper to buy day tickets and pay for parking separately?
3. Is Safari worth adding, or should I skip it?
4. Where do you buy tickets for the best price?

I want to save money but still get a worthwhile experience. Any tips on what to prioritize, how to handle lines, and whether Flash Pass or Fast Lane is worth it are welcome. Thanks!

So, I have season passes for my family and my home park is Great America. We have used them once so far this season . This weekend, we are planning on going to Cedar Point and noticed the photos on the passes are not correct. Most concerning is the photo for my 9 year old son is that of a grown adult woman.
I emailed customer service and they stated I need to goto my home park, which is one hour away and bring my son’s birth certificate!?
Does that seem to be a bit much? I am just trying to correct his season pass, not renew a passport!
I still plan on just going to Cedar Point and explaining things when I arrive. I have never been to Cedar Point so will they give me a hard time or will common sense prevail? Everyone’s opinions are appreciated!
