Twister II Posted April 21, 2005 Posted April 21, 2005 Today after my track meet I came home and I received my 2005 season pass in the mail! Yea! Im happy! This is the 2004 season pass(green) This is the NEW 2005 season pass! (yellow)
Token Yankee Guy Posted April 21, 2005 Posted April 21, 2005 Did you order your season pass online or did they send you a complementary one that you need to activate? Because my sisters came in the mail and my mom sent it up here to school and her season pass is blue.
Scaparri Posted April 21, 2005 Posted April 21, 2005 Is there any real significance of this post or did you just want to discuss season passes? Just wondering.
SharkTums Posted April 21, 2005 Posted April 21, 2005 Hey! Leave him alone, maybe he's just excited about having the Old Guy on his pass! Elissa "I have him on my Hurricane Harbor pass too!" Alvey

I ordered mine on-line but I got it renewed so I wont have to go wait in the 45min line to get a new one. A blue pass! Cool! Which park? Mine is for Six Flags Elitch Gardens. Maybe the blue is a premium park pass? Elissia, I think they do certain passes for different parts of the US maybe? They may have Mr. Six on the season passes in the west while the blue passes may be in the east?
stew560 Posted April 21, 2005 Posted April 21, 2005 At GAdv, you get Yellow if you renew in park or online. If you hadn't renewed by a certain date they sent you a blue pass with last years picture that you could go online and activate (and pay for)...
coaster1 Posted April 21, 2005 Posted April 21, 2005 We got our new passes at the park this year, since we had Astoworld season passes last year, then two weeks later, I get a mailing from SFOT with 4 new passes in them all for me .. 2 have my photo on their of me, but not the same as my new 2005 pass and two others have what appears to be the background and someone blurred. Very odd .. haven't used the pass since then .. I've asked my friends at the park to explain this, they have no clue why this happened.
BarryH Posted April 21, 2005 Posted April 21, 2005 Just out of curiosity...why is the Elitch Gardens season pass not good on Sunday, August 28? My SFOG season pass has no such restriction!
CrashMender Posted April 21, 2005 Posted April 21, 2005 Maybe there is a private buyout that day at Elitch Gardens
BarryH Posted April 21, 2005 Posted April 21, 2005 I hadn't thought of that. I checked the Six Flags web site and sure enough, August 28 is a private event. There's private events in May too. I wonder why those dates weren't printed. Hmmm...
M_Force_4_ever Posted April 21, 2005 Posted April 21, 2005 I got my SFGAm passes last October, before the park even closed because they had some super deal where you would Huricane Harbor free then a couple days ago they sent me a pass in the mail and it was the same except it was blue and it had a 2 year old picture of me on it! then t validate it you have to activate it online, I heard this is a test market thing that SF is trying to do for all people how had passes last year get.
Coasterlicious Posted April 21, 2005 Posted April 21, 2005 Season passes arent worth it to me because I go to one six flags.. once a year.. ... I want a CP season pass though because I will be going alot this summer...
shepp Posted April 21, 2005 Posted April 21, 2005 Actually, I'd already long renewed my SFMW pass when I got the blue thingy in the mail. It came with a handful of special freebies available only to those who'd waited to renew. The price had gone up by 5 bucks, but I still felt a bit burned, as SF had had my money for months, but rewarded the procrastinators with extra perks.
Scaparri Posted April 21, 2005 Posted April 21, 2005 Hey! Leave him alone, maybe he's just excited about having the Old Guy on his pass! Whoa! I was just wondering Elissa . My fault! My fault! In that case, yeah, I must say, I think they are cool season passes this year. I just got mine processed last Sunday. A lot of people can't stand Mr. Six but I think it is a great gimmick.
Twister II Posted April 21, 2005 Author Posted April 21, 2005 why is the Elitch Gardens season pass not good on Sunday, August 28? My SFOG season pass has no such restriction! This is either one of a few things; 1. Employee day 2. Concert at Pepsi Center Its probly just employee day, all the employee's have a party and go ride rides, I think so...
downunder Posted April 22, 2005 Posted April 22, 2005 I have a Six Flags New England Season Pass from last year and I was thinking of renewing it online but I live in Australia but I am not sure whether they would accept renewals from Australia? It would be to not have to stuff around buying a pass at the park and SFNE appears to be cheaper than some of the other parks I plan on going to.
Token Yankee Guy Posted April 22, 2005 Posted April 22, 2005 ^ How much use did you get out of your SFNE Season Pass? Just curious since you live in Australia.
downunder Posted April 22, 2005 Posted April 22, 2005 I deliberately brought a season pass because I was going to more than two six flags parks on my month long 2004 trip and Six Flags New England was the first park I went to. So I got plenty of value out of the pass and this year, if I come over I will go to Magic Mountain, Great Adventure, Darien Lake, La Ronde, and maybe even New England again if I've got time - so it's good value. I do my homework when I come to the USA and plan to get maximum value.

SharkTums Posted April 22, 2005 Posted April 22, 2005 LOL! Awesome! BTW, are you and Diana going to make it to our BBQ? Elissa "Eric's a cool old man!" Alvey
Cdn Mndbndr Posted April 22, 2005 Posted April 22, 2005 Hi, Just a thought about the different coloured passes, it could be a way the marketing department of SF tracks the trends of it's patrons. ie.) How many people purchase online in advance, how many purchase last minute online or at the gate. It also could be a way they track people from different parts of the country visiting other parks, to help facilitate their ride exchange programs. PS: This is my first post
shepp Posted April 22, 2005 Posted April 22, 2005 ^ Seems highly unlikely. That info goes into the database when you buy pass or ticket, regardless, and the scanning machines at the gate don't register the color of your pass, just the barcode. Dont know if it's happened to you, but SF parks occasionally send around employees with PDAs to the queues before the park opens, randomly asking some patrons what their home ZIP codes are, how many times they've been to that park, etc. Since the selection process seems totally slapdash, I've wondered how statistically valid that info actually is... Welcome to the board!
CoasterFanatic Posted April 22, 2005 Posted April 22, 2005 Since the selection process seems totally slapdash, I've wondered how statistically valid that info actually is... That is exactly what they should be doing for a survey. The more random the selection the better.
