DorneyKid14 Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 Looking to make a day trip to the park in june. A little over 3 hour drive for me. Any do and donts for the park?
Password121 Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 If you're trying to spend a whole day, the water park is decent and worth a couple hours if you want. Other than that, crowds are never an issue especially during the week. Don't bother with a flash pass. The park is better than people say it is, but don't go in expecting anything spectacular. Best coasters are Superman, Wild One and Jokers Jinx--all worth re-rides.
DorneyKid14 Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 Sounds good. My friend said that the park seemed shitty but it doesn't to me.
FSUFanChris Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 I lost my wallet. Can I go to any Six Flags and get a replacement season pass?
Highridin Posted November 27, 2015 Posted November 27, 2015 Going to SFGAdv for the first time today. Looking forward to it. Oh, yes they will replace your season pass.
FSUFanChris Posted November 28, 2015 Posted November 28, 2015 Oh, yes they will replace your season pass. That's actually not true. I called Six Flags Over Texas and asked and they said I must wait for Six Flags America to open back up which means my trip to Texas this winter is now canceled. Â Not to mention I live in NC. I happened to be in the DC area and grabbed a season pass membership while on vacation, never expecting I was going to have my wallet stolen. Now I am paying a monthly membership fee and no way to replace my card unless I plan another vacation to Washington DC.
Password121 Posted November 28, 2015 Posted November 28, 2015 ^If you know your SF account credentials I believe I heard something about a mobile app that can be scanned as your SP at the gate.
bill_s Posted November 29, 2015 Posted November 29, 2015 (edited) The pass prices are, or at least were, different depending on where you buy them. SFA may be the cheapest. Doesn't completely justify your issue but that's probably one reason the passes have a home park despite being good everywhere. Actually your home park probably gets more of it. Â As to replacement, look into if you can get into the park of your credentials without replacing it for now. I know someone who managed to do that at KD -- he didn't need a new one it was at home. Â I just realized I may have the same issue -- I have a new special deal pass set up and it's not done as a renewal. Edited November 29, 2015 by bill_s

I tried to get the meal pass up there. They couldn't do it because my pass is from SFA. Weird. I bet money that you could call SF or SFA to get something figured out. They keep the pics in the system. Maybe they can make you another, then send it to you. People work there during the winter. I know someone personally; owns the turkey leg place.

My friend doesn't work in the season pass place, but knows a little. Checked on the mobile app thing; because SFA doesn't use biometrics, using the app will not work. Still, what you can do is call SFA. Tell them what happened. Once you give them your info (membership number, name, etc), they can make you another one, then they can send it to you in the mail. Lol, if they don't mail, I'll get it for you.
Highridin Posted December 19, 2015 Posted December 19, 2015 Pretty happy that they are going to renovate the water park bathrooms.
MillenniumFangirl Posted January 4, 2016 Posted January 4, 2016 I'm planning on going to Six Flags America this summer. Any tips/things I should know?
I305forever Posted January 4, 2016 Posted January 4, 2016 Visit the water park. It's free and of a higher quality than the dry park, even though it can get pretty busy sometimes.
Philrad71 Posted January 4, 2016 Posted January 4, 2016 I'm planning on going to Six Flags America this summer. Any tips/things I should know? Â Yes...skip it and go to a better park around the same general area.
coasterbill Posted January 4, 2016 Posted January 4, 2016 Any tips/things I should know? Â Yes. I strongly suggest upgrading to the Season Pass as soon as you get there as it's a great deal. The best thing about it is that it's valid at all Six Flags parks. As soon as you process the pass, leave immediately (no need to get a handstamp) and get on I-95 North and go to Great Adventure.

Â Â On a serious note, if you go on a weekday you should have no problem getting all the credits with in less than two hours (if the operations aren't crap, that is), but the park is notorious for running one train on most, if not all their coasters. Wild One and SROS are a must!
DorneyKid14 Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 So there are usually no lines there? Im planning on taking a day trip to the park in early june.

Â Yes...skip it and go to a better park around the same general area. Â Don't listen to this nonsense. Go on a weekday to get the best experience. Water park can be a little crowded, but not ridiculous. As long as u stay off Apocalyse, you'll have a good time on the dry time too. Flats leave a little to be desired. The shows are good too. Shows/actors have won a brass ring award three years in a row. No other park in the world has pulled that off. Â I've really never have had a bad time here. I like it as much as Kings Dominion, and a little less than Busch Gardens.

coasterbill Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 I like it as much as Kings Dominion. Â Are you high? Even comparing this park to Kings Dominion (or any other park anywhere short of maybe Lakemont and Conneaut Lake) is an insult. Â Six Flags America is slowly improving but it's still terrible.
Philrad71 Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 ^^^ You did notice that I was only being facetious, right?
michaellynn4 Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 I will say I had a fun and pleasant experience at SFA when I revisited in 2013. However, it's got a LONG way to go before I'll remotely consider it in the same league as the other regional theme parks in the area. Â Yes, it is the Dorney of the Six Flags chain, at least in that respect. Â I think this is the only thing that's comparable between the two parks. I'd argue Dorney, with all it's issues, is significantly better than SFA.
