Six Flags upgrades Gold Pass benefits that will offer massive savings for its parks
The membership benefit upgrades come as Six Flags parks struggle with attendance
Hold on tight because Six Flags Gold Passholders and Members are about to get upgraded access to multiple parks in their region at no additional cost.
Gold Passholders and Members will soon receive a new regional access benefit, allowing them to visit any Six Flags park within their designated region throughout the 2026 season.
Gone is the old rule that tied passes to just one home park. Now, day trips, weekend getaways, and visits to nearby parks are easier and more affordable than ever, the company said Thursday.
Under the new structure, parks are grouped into four regions: East, Midwest, Texas, and West, each with a mix of amusement and water parks. The Midwest region, for example, includes Cedar Point in Ohio, Kings Island in Mason, and Six Flags Great America in Illinois.
Six Flags said the rollout will be phased throughout February, with regional benefits gradually appearing on park product pages and passholder benefit grids. As each region becomes active, Gold Passes for parks in that area will automatically include access to all other parks in the same region.
Once a Gold Pass or Membership is updated with the new benefit, holders will be able to enjoy every park listed in their home park’s region throughout the 2026 season.

Existing Gold Passholders who previously purchased an All Park Passport add-on are also being accommodated under the update. Those who secured the add‑on before the regional access launch will receive a free upgrade to a Prestige Pass or Membership on February 27, which allows all‑park access across North America for the 2026 season.
Gold Passholders who got an All Park Passport in the 2025 MVP Promotion will keep full park access through 2026, with regional access starting in 2027 for active Members, the company said.
Additionally, Six Flags is updating its loyalty program with new digital Pass Perks delivered through the Six Flags app.

Six Flags is also launching the online Midway Arcade. Soon, passholders will be able to play games in the hub for a chance to win prizes, including free season passes and Fast Lane access.
The entertainment giant is also running a limited‑time Spring Sale during February that allows select parks to sell Gold Passes at the price of Silver Passes.
The thrill-seeking announcements come as Six Flags continues to face financial struggles after its 2024 Cedar Fair merger, reporting a $320 million loss in early 2025 and declining attendance.
In August, Six Flags Entertainment Corp. reported significant attendance struggles, including a 9 percent drop in visitors, about 1.4 million fewer visitors, during the second quarter of 2025 compared to 2024. The company saw a slight rebound after this in July and August with a 3 percent increase in attendance, but still faced a 2 percent drop in revenue for that same summer period.
While the company is reviewing its existing park portfolio and considers closing more of its beloved parks, it is also launching new attractions, like the recently-completed Tormenta Rampaging Run set to open later this year at Six Flags Over Texas. Themed after the running of the bulls in Spain, it will be the tallest, fastest and longest dive coaster in the world, park officials previously said.
