Six Flags Great Adventure's Flash Pass: All You Need to Know

by Theme Park Center May 08, 2023

A Flash Pass is one of the most popular passes at every Six Flags park.

In this guide, we'll explain what the Six Flags Great Adventure Flash Pass is, how it works, the different types of passes, and the rides that are included with it.

What is Six Flags Great Adventure's Flash Pass?

A Six Flags Flash Pass provides a visitor access to a separate and quicker line for the most popular rides.

The Flash Pass entrance will either lead to a different line or allow you to cut the regular line.

After making your reservation through the app, you'll simply need to show your Flash Pass wristband to the ride attendant, and you can enjoy your ride with little to no wait time.

The Flash Pass acts as a fast pass for the Six Flags parks, as you'll spend less time waiting in lines, and more time riding the actual rides.

Is It Included With Admission?

No. A Flash Pass is a separate cost and requires a park admission to be able to use it.

HOW DOES A FLASH PASS WORK?

Flash Pass Wristband

Visitors can purchase the Flash Pass through the Six Flags App, or at the park inside the Flash Pass headquarters, and receive a Flash Pass wristband.

We ended up purchasing inside of the Flash Pass headquarters, but we'd recommend doing it through the app.

There's a line to wait in, and once you get to the staff, they'll simply assist you in navigating through the app to purchase the Flash Pass.

Once you've entered your personal information and payment details in the app, your phone will receive a prompt to receive a wristband from the staff.

Each wristband has a wristband number, and you'll enter your wristband number inside of the app, and then click the save wristband button.

After this is complete, you can stay inside of the app and reserve rides directly from there.

The app will give you an approximate estimated time of when you can use your Flash Pass for each ride, and remind you when it is near your ride time through a notification.

When it is your time to ride, you'll head straight to the Flash Pass entrance of the ride, show your wristband, and enjoy the ride.

4 Types of Flash Passes

There are four different types of Flash passes:

Junior Pass
Regular Pass
Gold Pass
Platinum Pass

Your experience will vary depending on which one you decide to purchase.

A Junior Pass only works for specific kid and family rides, cutting the wait time by half.

A Regular Pass allows you to wait virtually in line for a ride, which means you can do anything else around the park, until it's your turn to ride the ride.

While the Gold and Platinum Passes also do this, they will also at minimum, cut your wait time by half.

Platinum will offer the least amount of wait time, but will also be the most expensive.
