RaceBoarder Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 On Friday, August 30, 2018, Six Flags will once again offer their annual Labor Day holiday Flash Sale on yearly passes. I overheard something not too long ago that this is the last year for Annual Season Passes, and that going forward as of 8/30/18, any/all passes sold will be in the form of a membership. Any thoughts? It would be a shame if Six Flags eliminated the Season Pass with the monthly memberships. To me, I see this as a BIG/HUGE cost increase - that's if Six Flags is truly eliminating the Season Pass. PARK_HOPPER This has been discussed quite a bit in the SF Corporate thread... Basically, it's SF raising the price without making it look like they are raising the price **shrug** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anonymouscactus Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 ^ I guarantee you 100% you will still be able to buy a pass *or* a membership during the flash sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joelwee Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 I'm curious to see if the park will continue its 365-day operations next year. I went a few times during the winter, where it seemed like I had the park to myself. Granted, all of the coasters were running 1 train with skeleton crews, and some of the restaurants and upcharge attractions were closed, but it seemed like almost everyone there were season pass / membership holders, and were using their meal plans. And with such light crowds, there's no way they sold very many Flash Passes on those days. It doesn't seem like a very profitable venture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have always wanted to go there in the winter but I live 6 hours away. It seems like I always go when it is hot and fairly crowded. I should make a trip just to experience what you described.

During November and January through March, the park is a ghost town every day, even on weekends. It’s a great time to go, if you can swing it.

Sluggo77 Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Are they doing a livestream for the announcement and if so where can I watch it. Sorry if this was already shared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twistedtatsu805 Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Just walked past the metro park pub where they are setting up for the announcement. It looks like it's gonna be BIG! 3.5 hours to go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron101 Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Do you think the chain was losing money on this 365 day campaign? I know a few days during the winter season there were only 2 rows of cars in the first parking lot. It was rare to see any guests on the midways during these days. It was mainly just employees walking to their position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
