You have four options: 3- or 10- ride Flash Pass that others described VIP Tour VIP Experience (Experiencia VIP) that is an unlimited wristband, most similar to the Flash Pass at the US parks. This is the "all day flash pass" you were inquiring about in your post. It's rather confusing as it's not called flash pass, and "flash pass" means something else that is unique to this park. VIP Justice League First Rider which includes Experiencia VIP plus ERT on Justice League, breakfast, and a photo session with costumed Justice League characters. The regular Experiencia VIP does not include Justice League. The breakfast is cooked fresh, plated, and coursed. I am not kidding; you would realize how ridiculous this sounds were this not your first Six Flags park. I purchased this back when Justice League was brand new and assumed it was a limited-time thing. I am shocked it's still available (weekends only) and absolutely recommend it. It's $1700 MXN and includes park admission. You can buy the last two options online. Whatever you choose, it's an amazing park and you'll have a great time.

I visited Six Flags Mexico for the first time this weekend, mainly to experience Medusa Steel Coaster, and took a few pictures of the brand new Justice League ride. As the above poster noted, it opened on March 4. The ride is gorgeous. It looks, smells, and feels brand new. I’ve been on the ride in St. Louis; it’s a great ride there, and it’s a great ride here. I favor it over Toy Story Midway Mania. I seem to recall Sally discussing that this year’s Justice Leagues would be “version 2”, but everything seemed identical to the version in St. Louis. Perhaps Sally was referring to the yet-to-open Gurnee version, or the “version 2” changes were behind the scenes. Before I get to the pictures, a few non-Justice League thoughts… I have been fortunate to visit every Six Flags park except The Great Escape. Six Flags Mexico is now my favorite Six Flags park. The park is beautiful, in part because the buildings, pathways, etc. are more authentically constructed than the US parks. Save for some dirty spots on Superman: el Último Escape, the coasters all have fresh, shiny coats of paint on them. The staff is very friendly and very very competent. Every coaster was dispatching trains at the proper intervals or sooner. The crew at Medusa was highly concerned with the lap bar making sufficient contact with smaller riders’ thighs (I have never seen this on other RMC trains), and were efficient at asking several small riders to get off the train so it could be sent out quickly. At the Dark Knight coaster, they were running the pre-show and loading cars so efficiently that they cleared the post-pre-show line before the next group exited the pre-show! At the rides or otherwise, you could tell that everyone knew what they were doing, and understood their role in the larger context of operating the park. From the photo booth staff to the security guards, everyone was on-point, smiling and ready to help (even though my Spanish is limited and hardly anyone spoke English). Medusa Steel Coaster is my favorite RMC, and I have been on all of them except Wicked Cyclone (which I think is probably the most similar to Medusa, so I might have a new favorite if I ever ride that one). I happened to visit Fiesta Texas the week prior to visiting Six Flags Mexico, and must say that I greatly prefer the Gerstlauer trains. I found the RMC trains on this particular track to be very rough in the rear seats of each car/wheel seats. Ok, thanks for reading my thoughts on this fantastic park. Here are those pictures! Approaching the new Justice League attraction, just past the (not awful) SLC! Superman el Último Escape looms over the ride. The building looks straight out of a comic book. There is a giant, massive exterior queue, and they did not build any shortcuts through it. Inside is largely the same as the St. Louis version, except for the Spanish dialog and captions.

​A follow-up on my earlier mention of Gilroy; they have an off-season and won't open till the end of March. Oops. With Gilroy and CGA closed and SFDK being a short while away from opening Joker, I see a few months from now being a better time, coaster-wise, to travel to Northern California. What about heading east to Las Vegas instead? It would be a shorter drive, and credits would include Desperado at the CA/NV border, an El Loco named El Loco and (indoor!) Arrow loop & corkscrew in Adventuredome, and an unusual Togo at New York New York. Since that's all that's out there and it should all be operating, you'd be "closing out" that area on the map. Las Vegas would not provide you with as many credits as your plan to head north would, but if you could do Northern California at another time you'd pick up so many more (good) credits. You could even include Scandia and Castle then too, making that a full and well-rounded separate trip.

I have done Northern & Southern California trips within the past few months, similar to what you're thinking. My schedules were as "aggressive" as yours, so I thought I would share rough timelines of successful days for you. Starting in San Diego… 10-11: Sea World San Diego. Manta is quality, and there is a unique sky ride that exits the park over a body of water. 11-12: Belmont Park. We went and the coaster was undergoing maintenance (should have checked), but spent time time that we would have ridden walking around and eating at the beach. 12-1: Balboa Park Carousel. A 1910 Herschell-Spillman carousel that, if you ask, will run with brass rings, if you're into that. 1-5: Mundo Divertido. Cross the border into Tijuana and check out a "large FEC"-scale park that reminded me of a Fun Spot. Don't miss the elevated tram ride. Crossing the border took quicker than we expected so… 7:30-10: Knott's Berry Farm. We didn't get to hit every coaster, but we visited on a holiday weekend. On a typical operating day, as someone else mentioned, it shouldn't be a problem to get most everything done in a few hours. 10-11: Pacific Park. The coaster has a nice lighting package so good call on planning to visit it at the end of your day. Starting in San Jose… 11-2: Gilroy Gardens. A real unique park, only a couple coasters—the Morgan is decent—but a drastically different park than anything else on your itinerary. Don't miss the monorail through the greenhouse. 4-6: Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk. I'd suggest Gilroy instead of SFDK because Joker. SFDK with Joker under construction is a bummer of a park. SFDK with Joker and CGA on a subsequent trip will be an awesome day.
