It appears Six Flags has changed their passes.  We currently have Diamond season passes that include access to all parks.  I can't remember how much I paid for them off hand.  I bought them right around this same time last year and that included the rest of 2023 and 2024.  I got a pop up in their app about big sale going on right now, bla bla bla.  I just looked into renewing at it appears their passes no longer offer access to their other parks, even the top pass now called premier.  You have to buy some sort of add one that allows access to all parks which is $225.  That seems insane and quite a bit more expensive than last year.  Also, previously the top diamond included a season refill drink cup.  Now that is not included either.  So, it seems the passes will not cost substantially more, and not offer the same benefits.  I will most likely not be renewing.  Will be considering SDC passes again as was my original plan to alternate every other year.  Except for this coming year the SF passes used to be reasonable enough that I considered doing both.

Fallout of the Six Flags/Cedar Fair merger, as I suspected would happen. No need to offer competitive pricing and benefits as they are monopolizing the industry. This merger should have been legally blocked. Its always bad news for the consumer.

Yeah... I'm still shocked it went through... regulators were asleep on the job.

Sure Disney and universal see more guests, but six fairs now has such a dominant percentage of the regional theme park market. Many markets it's the only player.

I priced out 2 passes like we had year before last with meal plans, it was over a grand for the 2 for a year.  This past year I did their top pass but did not get the meal plan.  So, passes are way beyond what I will pay, and less benefits now.  I will be passing.

I have a Cedar Fair gold pass with all park passport for 2024 and renewed it for 2025 and it didn't seem to go up in price much (if at all), so I'm surprised the Six Flags ones are significantly more expensive.
