Ok, the pre-covid drink bottle included makes sense and those of us that kept our memberships through the Covid lock downs did get some extra perks for ahwile after. Mostly things like extra bff and discounts. However, I assure you I have never added on any dining plan. From the very beginning we had 2 meals, a snack, and a drink bottle included in our membership and never altered that. Now I believe that you could be correct and SF simply sent me the email erroneously or they just messed up the messaging or whatever who knows. Lol, I feel like it's what I always thought it would be, show up at the park and see what happens. -
You have a membership (pre-covid) that includes a drink bottle. Not all memberships over the years do. You added on a dining plan that also had a bottle at some points over the years. That is no longer the case with dining add ons. Thus the email. However, you still get your legacy bottle perk. -

I guess. I get your point just seems like a missed opportunity as the retail team member told me people were constantly asking about it and they've been open the better part of a year at this point. -

Ok, well then way to sow confusion by sending that message to legacy members. All of our dining was a membership perk not an add on plan but according to this message has been converted to an add on plan. As usual and based on the extremely conflicting responses by various higher ups I have spoken with, as well as one customer service rep that flat out said "we really have no idea" I think there is confusion within the company on this issue. Again, it's a first world problem and I'm not losing any sleep over it, but annoying as it should be such a simple matter that no one seems to be able to answer definitively. -
Legacy members have that as a membership perk outside of dining plans.

You may be right but this is what I got from SF regarding my membership and it specifically says no beverages: As a reminder, your membership dining plan is now the All Season Dining – All Parks dining add-on Your new plan provides two meals per visit from participating locations, and the best part? You can use it at all 40+ Six Flags parks throughout North America. Your existing dining plan was automatically converted to the All Season Dining – All Parks add-on earlier this month. How the New Plan Works In 2026, your dining plan will provide two meals per visit from participating locations.* A four-hour interval between meals is required — perfect for lunch, four hours of nonstop fun, and then dinner! Snacks and beverages are not included in 2026 dining plans. Your All Season Dining – All Parks add-on will be accessible with the Six Flags mobile app and is connected to your Season Pass or Membership. Fuel up for fun and feast from menus across North America — your All Season Dining – All Parks add-on has you covered for another thrilling season of FUN. -

That darn log flume! I love log flumes and was sure we had plenty of time to ride it before we had to be on the bus, but the combo of a sneaky bit of line that you totally couldn't see until you were well into it and a massive back up on the "brake run" (not sure how that even happened on a log flume) we had to rush to the bus and literally made it with 0 seconds to spare. The only thing that saved us from total humiliation was another group that thought they had a half hour more than they did and so there was a discussion about whether to leave them or not....they didn't but at least they were significantly later than us! -

The announcement may come during their quarterly report on 2/19. If not presented, it will be a question certainly asked.. We shall see... -

I'd imagine the reasoning is similar to why Six Flags uses generic DC merch across its parks with little merch specific to their rides: IP usage and branding. You're never going to see a Superman: Ultimate Flight shirt--just a generic Superman shirt. How much merch is their for non IP attractions at Six Flags parks? It could also depend on how much (if any) merch was made using the Starfall Racers name before the change. -
You still get a drink bottle with your DE VIP membership.

Well almost a month now and no other news about what the enchanted parks business might be. Watching to see if there will be some sort of announcement before opening, meanwhile they have continued to do some updates on FB and are starting to advertise for employees. So 🤷♀️ They did send a suprisingly clear and conscise update about membership food perks. Our DE VIP memberships did include a snack, 2 meals, and unlimited drinks bottle. Now will just include 2 meals. No snack, no drinks. Honestly I kind of have mixed feelings. To be fair we rarely use both meals and a snack, more likely to have one meal, maybe a snack and then eat something before or after the park visit. Drinks? Eh, it can be a nice perk but I also really hate constantly having to carry the bottle around and honestly most days would be fine with just water. Although if they move to the paper cup stations that is more appealing. We'll probably be fine just getting a daily drink package for the parks we decide we need it at. On the other hand it is removing things without lowering the price. On the other other hand I've never had an employee even look twice at me when going up to one of the soda machines and filling up, much less scanning the bar code. At least they finally clarified it though, I'll give them that. Guess I will just see how we feel about it at the end of the season and do some mathing to see what the best option is. -

Ehh, not sure I'm thrilled about a F & F theme but if it's a great coaster I guess it won't matter that much. And now of course we can begin speculation on what they will turn the old F & F ride into. Quick update: we did a second very fast weekend trip back down two weeks ago. Just needed another trip to Epic before we accept not visiting for a couple years. My updated recomendation for Stardust Racers is daytime front row, nightime back row. Seeing the interaction of the coasters from the back with the lighting package is awesome. Also, I asked a team member in one of the stores why no SR merch and he wasn't able to give me a reason but did state that a lot of people were asking. Yeah, no kidding, lol. We saw a guy with a very cool SR t-shirt on walking through Citywalk and chased him down. He was a member of the ride crew and those were exclusive employee shirts. I mean they've had the park open to the public for almost 9 months now. Why no merch for one of the premier rides in the park? Weird. -

With so much change on the table, do you think that the Beto Carrero Will it be able to transform Penha into an even bigger tourist hub and become a world reference point for lodging within a theme park? -

Merlin Entertainments has revealed new details about the Paw Patrol land coming to Chessington World of Adventures! https://backstage.merlinentertainments.biz/2026/paw-some-adventures-await-as-chessington-world-of-adventures-unveils-new-paw-patrol-land-details/ All paws on deck - World of PAW Patrol is getting ruff-ruff ready! Leading UK family theme park, Chessington World of Adventures, has given fans a first look at the UK’s first and only PAW Patrol-themed land, opening spring 2026 - and it’s already looking PAW-some. First look images unveiled today of the hotly anticipated new attraction - dedicated to the top-rated animated preschool series from Spin Master that airs on Nickelodeon and streams on Paramount+ - follow the installation of the iconic PAW Patrol Lookout Tower™, a real-life replica of the tower seen and played with by millions of children across the world. The Lookout Tower will form part of the new ‘Chase’s Mountain Mission’ ride, the attraction’s entry level rollercoaster. The new images show PAW Patrol character, Rubble, who is overseeing the site’s construction, and Sian Hooper - Creative Director at Merlin Magic Making and the brains behind the new land - masterminding the finishing touches being put to the iconic Lookout Tower. This includes the tower’s pièce de résistance - the legendary PAW Patrol pup tag. World of PAW Patrol will see PAW Patrol’s Adventure Bay setting represented in vibrant landscape theming across 1.4 acres, with the land’s storytelling drawing on the role of the pups in the community, demonstrating purpose and everyday heroism. The £15 million immersive experience will include four thrilling rides – including the UK’s first ‘Drifter’ ride, designed to delight riders with sliding, drifting and skidding sensations – among a host of other tail-tagging fun and features. Each of the rides is themed around a beloved member of the PAW Patrol pack: Guests will be able to hop onto Chase’s Mountain Mission, a high-speed rescue vehicle and entry level rollercoaster to help Chase and Everest save the day. Soar into action by joining Skye on a high-flying rescue mission on Skye’s Helicopter Heroes, where riders are invited to climb aboard Skye’s iconic helicopter and take to the skies. With spinning rotors, panoramic views, and a mission full of teamwork and tail wags, Skye’s Helicopter Adventure is an unforgettable flight. Become Zuma’s co-pilot and spring into action on the UK’s first ‘Drifter’ ride. Hop aboard a hovercraft and help navigate the waters from Adventure Bay to Seal Island on Zuma’s Hovercraft Adventure. Climb aboard the bright red fire truck on Marshall’s Firetruck Rescue and hang on tight as it rocks and rolls through the streets of Adventure Bay. A high-spirited ride, it’s perfect for junior patrollers ready to spring into action. Further details on what guests can expect when visiting World of PAW Patrol will be announced in the coming months. "Bringing World of PAW Patrol to life is a true labour of love. From the very first sketches to seeing the iconic Lookout Tower rise above Chessington, our goal has been to capture the magic, energy and teamwork that millions of families know and adore from the show. Every ride has been designed to make guests feel like they’re stepping into Adventure Bay — whether they’re skidding and sliding with Zuma or soaring sky-high with Skye. We can’t wait for families to join the patrol this spring and create their own pup-tacular memories." Sian Hooper, Creative Director at Merlin Magic Making Ahead of World of PAW Patrol opening, the pups are also now on the hunt for a pre-schooler to become part of the patrol and take on the role of the ‘PAWject Manager’ this spring. The once in a lifetime opportunity will allow one lucky PAW Patrol fan to give their ‘final approval’ on the new land before fellow patrollers experience what’s on offer. The PAWject Manager’s role will include being the first to test out the rides as well as meeting their heroes in their new home. The winner will also receive tickets for their family to attend the opening event, a night in one of the five PAW Patrol-themed hotel rooms at Chessington, and other additional PAW Patrol goodies. To enter, little ones, with the help of their parents, can submit their application at www.chessington.com/pawjectmanager explaining why they would be ‘PAWfect’ for the job. Entries are open until 23.59 on Wed 4 March and T&Cs apply*. Fans can experience PAW-tastic adventures at Chessington ahead of the land opening with a stay in one of the five PAW Patrol-themed hotel rooms – the first and only PAW Patrol accommodation in the UK. Each room sleeps up to two adults and three children. PAW Patrol hotel stays start from £155 for a family of four, including bed and breakfast. Hotel stays include early ride access, a ‘Pup Pass’ Meet and Greet fast track pass, and a Reserve & Ride one-shot pass. Guests staying before the World of PAW Patrol opens will be in with the chance to be one of the first to ride the new rollercoaster in 2026.
