It's okay. At least the new CEO is making passholders aren't getting the free souvenir cups anymore!So…RIP El Toro? Not a good look, Six Flags.

An RMC makeover of an Intamin Prefab? I'm here for itInjuries were minor, but it was essentially the same thing that happened a year ago with the train derailing in essentially the same spot that it happened last time. I would say it's now a candidate for an RMC makeover in 2024 (if Six Flags has any money by then).
The pricing is in line with Cedar Fair and cheaper than SeaWorld Parks passes. The issue I have is they don't have the value to back up the pricing.Didn’t feel the need to create an entire thread, but man, this leadership and CEO do not want guests visiting multiple Six Flags parks anymore.
The only option that allows visits to all SF parks is a $250 Platinum Pass..
This pricing structure is really poor in my opinion..
They are not priced like Disney or Universal. They are priced like Cedar Fair (similar value), and Palace Entertainment (not as good of value as Six Flags). I get no one likes to pay more for something they used to get for less but, six flags was stupid cheap and they have finally hit a market correction. They are 100% in line with the market, two examples from near me Adventureland Iowa(1 park) season pass $150 online or $200 at the gate, Lost Island theme park $200 (has around 25 rides total). It is a big price increase for Six Flags due to the fact they were not raising prices for years while they should have.^That’s exactly the problem. You (SF) can’t scream “we’re in line with the market” when you don’t provide the same value product. It’s laughable when they tried to claim that they’re a premium experience akin to Disney or Universal.
Six Flags has always found ways to nickel and dime guests before with premium attractions, mandatory $1 ride lockers, overpriced haunt fees at Fright Fest, etc. I mean, hell, my local park has now started charging for admission to Hurricane Harbor, which is literally attached to the dry park (and was part of admission for 20 years).
I don't disagree that they were underpriced for many years. But, that doesn't mean you can go from, say $100, to $250 and not expect pushback. As a company, Six Flags has not shown me that they are worth double/triple the price of what I paid for a pass pre-covid. There are practically no new additions coming in 2023. Show me the service and performance in my park experience that justifies a price increase, then raise it, not the other way around. Because now if I walk in having paid $250 for my pass, I'm not letting it slide when there are one-train operations, 30 minute food lines, or rides that haven't been painted since Bush was in office.They are not priced like Disney or Universal.

Premium AdSo I guess they decided a nationwide ad buy on the Macy's Parade was money well spent?
I assume it was nationwide since it was a generic ad for Six Flags season passes being on sale for Black Friday and it ran here in Orlando during NBC's coverage...
