I just compared meals, line skipping, rentals, and photos benefits and even those do not transfer across the chains in 2025. This is kind of screwed up. The All Parks is good for both chains but your season meals is only good at your legacy chain, etc... So if I want season meals, drinks, all parks, line cutting, etc, then I do need 2 separate legacy passes with 2 all-parks and 2 legacy meals, 2 legacy drinks, 2 legacy all parks line skipping, and 2 legacy of everything else at the brand new combined Six Flags?

For you, Arthur, I don't think there is a reason for the prestige. True for most I would imagine. Plenty of scenarios where it could make sense. Families getting one, people with many short visits during the year, etc.

I can't wrap my head around much of this as the difference between "gold" and "prestige" seems negligible to me. I mostly just visit SFMM and Knott's but live part-time within reach of SFOT. I seem to recall paying a little over $100 for a Knott's season pass and a little under $100 for a SF season pass. So, same prices really? It's also the case that non-SFOT locations are much more expensive? Is there an argument to be made for the "prestige" over the "gold" that I'm missing? One "skip the line" per visit would be nice, but I rarely go near these places on busy days. I don't need preferred parking because I don't mind a bit of a hike through a parking lot. I think I've had "VIP Entrance" for a couple of of years but have completely forgotten it's a thing every time. 15% off food / merch doesn't affect me since I generally steer clear of both theme park food and theme park couture.

Prices on Prestige all park add-ons were slashed this morning ($100+ mark downs). Also includes 2 BAF passes now.
