2024 Six Flags Season Pass Guide: All That You Need to Know

by Theme Park Center January 01, 2024

Season Passes are some of the most popular passes at all Six Flags parks.

In this guide, we'll explain what a Six Flags Season Pass is, the different types of Season Passes offered at each park, and when to consider purchasing it.

What is a Six Flags Season Pass?

A Six Flags Season Pass allows you unlimited visits to the park (and/or other parks depending on which option you choose) for all of 2024 along with other benefits such as free parking and discounts on food and beverages.

Every Six Flags Season Pass lasts through 1/5/2024 except for Magic Mountain, as their Season Passes expire on 12/29/2024.

Types of Season Passes Offered at Six Flags

There are three types of Season Passes at Six Flags including:

Gold Season Pass - Parking Not Included and contains blockout dates
Platinum Season Pass
Diamond Season Pass

1. Gold Season Pass

The Gold Season Pass is perfect for visitors who are only interested in visiting one Six Flags park along with food and beverage discounts for the season.

In particular, Gold Passes are perfect for kids & families, allowing the younger visitors to purchase a cheaper pass (as they aren't old enough to need parking perks), while one of the adults can purchase a more expensive pass that includes parking.

It's important to know that Gold Passes do not include admission to the associated water park, or free parking, and also have blockout dates.

The Six Flags Parks that offer all three passes (including the Gold Season Pass) are:

Magic Mountain
Over Georgia
America
Great Adventure
Frontier City
Over Texas
Fiesta Texas
Discovery Kingdom

Although not all Six Flags parks offer the Gold Pass, every park offers both the Platinum and Diamond Passes.

2. Platinum Season Pass

The Platinum Pass is the best value for a Season Pass allowing you to visit both the Six Flags park and its waterpark for the entire season without worrying about paying for parking, and while enjoying a few specialty rate tickets and passes.

Platinum Pass benefits include:

Unlimited visits to the Six Flags park and its associated water park from 2023 until 1/5/2025

(Magic Mountain's Season Pass is valid through 12/29/24)

Free General Parking
1 Skip the Line Pass
2 Specialty Rate Friend Tickets
15% Food and Merchandise Discounts

3. Diamond Season Pass

The Diamond Pass provides you with ultimate benefits for the entire season not just at one Six Flags park, but at all Six Flags locations.

The Diamond Pass is perfect for visitors who want to maximize every perk that Six Flags offers, such as VIP entrance & lounge access, complimentary tickets/passes, Preferred Parking, and All-Season Drink Bottles.

Diamond Pass benefits include:

Unlimited visits to all Six Flags parks and their associated water parks from 2023 until 1/5/2025 (Magic Mountain's Season Pass is valid through 12/29/24)
Free Preferred Parking
Access to the VIP Entrance
4 Skip the Line Passes (Darien Lake Only Offers 1 Skip the Line Pass)
5 Specialty Rate Tickets
Season Drink Bottle
50% Off Flash Passes
50% Off Cabanas During the Week
20% Off Food and Merchandise
Access to the VIP Lounge & Waterpark Seating

It's important to know that after purchasing a Diamond Season Pass, you must visit the park/waterpark location you bought it from before using it at any other location.

This means if you purchased your Diamond Pass from Magic Mountain, you'll need to visit and use your Diamond Pass at Magic Mountain or Hurricane Harbor Los Angeles first, before being able to use it at another location.

How to Purchase Your Six Flags Season Pass

You can purchase your Six Flags Season Pass in full or with a payment plan directly from the Six Flags site, the Six Flags app, or in person at the park.

Spread Out Your Season Pass Payments Over Several Months

Six Flags offers the FlexiblePay payment option which allows visitors to spread their Season Pass Payments over 6 months, rather than needing to pay it all at once.

How FlexiblePay works:

Pay a 1 Time Initial Fee at Check Out
Pay 5 Fixed Monthly Payments Starting the Next Month After Your Initial Fee Was Paid
For Example:

Month 1 = $20 Initial Fee
Month 2-6 = $17 Monthly Payment

If you later decide you'd rather pay the balance off in full, you can also do so through their payment portal.

Pay For Your Six Flags Season Pass in Full

FlexiblePay isn't the only option to purchase your Season Pass, as you can also choose to pay the full price in one payment instead.

You'll simply select 'I would like to pay for my Season Pass in full today', review the total amount, and checkout (rather than reviewing the monthly payment breakdown and agreeing to those terms).

Consider Purchasing Season Pass Upgrades

During checkout, you will be given the option to upgrade your pass at an additional cost choosing from a variety of options including:

Season Flash Pass - Skip the line for your favorite rides
Speedy Parking - Skip the Regular Parking Lines
Season Dining Plan - Grab meals from your favorite restaurants throughout the day
Season Drink Bottle - A Giant Refillable Cup at the park
Season Photo Pass - Ride photos, character meet & greets, front gate images, and more

Whichever upgrades you purchase will also last for the entire Season that your Season Pass is valid for.

When Should I Get a Season Pass?

If you're planning on visiting the park at least 2 times in a season, a Season Pass may be a good option for you, as the Gold and Platinum Season Passes pay for themselves in under 2 (daily ticket) visits.

Can I Upgrade My Six Flags Ticket to a Season Pass?

Yes, you can upgrade your Six Flags daily admission ticket into a Season Pass by visiting either Guest Services, the Information Center, or a ticket booth with your current ticket confirmation and your ID before leaving the park.
