I'm sure. But it's just another thing that we all roasted Cedar Fair for two years ago that, meanwhile, Six Flags managed pretty well at the time.

Now? Selim'd again.

Cedar Fair and Six Flags just entirely swapped places between 2021 and 2022. Six Flags was running circles around them in 2020 and 2021. In 2022, Cedar Fair started being awesome and Six Flags... lol wow.

^I have always believed in Karma and balance in the amusement park industry.  SF and CF cannot both be great at the same time and they both can't be terrible. This has been since the 90's. They seem to ebb and flow and go back and forth and put some sort of terrible balance into the world!

^Honestly seems like kind of a cool idea for passholders for free!  Would love to know what they're capping it at or how?  Those extreme rides have very low capacity and if they're running them free that's crazy!

Yeah, the Free for passholders is a no-brainer (unlike when they tried to charge passholders for the Coaster Power Hours last year), but the non-passholder price is flat out ridiculous.

Elissa, I didn't see where the upcharge attractions were going to be free?  If that is the case, then yeah the price makes sense.

SFFT & SFOT started off charging everyone last week during Texas spring Break.

but by day 2, they started handing out free admission to Passholders at the park who asked for them.

I'm not sure that SFFT actually had a Cap - everyone I know that went and wanted a free admission pass for the After Hours Scream event, was able to get one - regardless if they were there at open or not.
