Six Flags Opens Up Its Entire Chain to Gold and Prestige Season Pass Holders

Six Flags and Cedar Fair merged just over a year ago, resulting in an amusement park company that operates 42 different parks throughout North America. And to celebrate that anniversary—and, y’know, boost those passholder numbers—Six Flags Entertainment has announced a new perk for its 2026 season pass: a Gold or Prestige season pass for any of its parks will get unlimited access to all of the company’s theme and water parks for the rest of the 2025 season and all of 2026.

The Most Valuable Pass Sale, as they’re calling it, starts this Wednesday, July 30, and runs through September 1. Any passes at the Gold and Prestige level that are bought or renewed during that time will qualify. This offer joins the list of other benefits of Gold and Prestige passes, including free parking, a free bring-a-friend pass for Gold members, and two free friend passes for Prestige.

A press release crunches the numbers on what this deal means for passholders. The combined company’s dozens of properties feature a total of 288 roller coasters, with over 130 miles of track. There are over 280 family rides (including Six Flags Over Georgia’s one-of-a-kind gem Monster Mansion, which is pretty much the only reason I keep a pass to my local park), 970 water slides, and a couple hundred pools. There are also animals at the animal parks, I assume. (Yeah, they’ve got some animal parks. They’ve got all kinds of parks. They’re Six Flags: parks is what they do.)

The MVP Sale is also the cheapest 2026 season passes will ever be. Prices go up on September 2, the day after the sale ends. If this seems like something you’re interested in, check your local Six Flags park’s website for more details.

The Six Flags / Cedar Fair merger hasn’t been good for everybody. Three of its parks will be closing in the next couple of years. Six Flags America in Maryland will close permanently on November 2, along with its Hurricane Harbor water park. California’s Great Adventure in Santa Clara, Cali.—one of two parks the company runs in the greater San Francisco area—will be closing at the end of the 2027 season, upon the expiration of its lease. Six Flags CEO Richard Zimmerman said in their first quarter earnings call in May that the company doesn’t currently plan to close any other properties, but that it “will continue to evaluate all options and consider other potential transactions to enhance shareholder value.” So the possibility of more closures in the years to come is a definite possibility.
