No. If you sign up for a Six Flags Membership you do not need a Season Pass

Even the lowest level of Membership (Gold Plus) comes with ALL of the benefits of our best Season Pass, including unlimited visits, season parking on every pass, free tickets for friends, and the same discounts Season Pass Holders get. In addition, Members come with a lot more benefits that aren't available on any of our Season Passes. If you're looking for the best experience with the most discounts, the best value, and the most unique experiences, a Membership is likely for you.

All Regular and Gold Season Pass Holders and Members, as well as Gold Plus, Platinum, Diamond and Diamond Elite Members may visit the following parks at no additional admission charge:

• La Ronde, Montreal
• Six Flags America, Baltimore/Washington DC
• Six Flags Darien Lake, Buffalo, New York
• Six Flags Discovery Kingdom, Vallejo
• Six Flags Fiesta Texas, San Antonio
• Six Flags Great Adventure, New Jersey
• Six Flags Great America, Chicago
• Six Flags Magic Mountain, Los Angeles
• Six Flags Mexico, Mexico City
• Six Flags New England, Springfield, MA
• Six Flags Over Georgia, Atlanta
• Six Flags Over Texas, Arlington, between Dallas and Ft. Worth
• Six Flags St. Louis
• The Great Escape, Lake George, NY
• Frontier City, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

Gold Plus, Platinum, Diamond or Diamond Elite Members may also visit the following water parks:

• Six Flags Hurricane Harbor, Arlington, between Dallas and Ft. Worth
• Six Flags Hurricane Harbor Concord, California
• Six Flags Hurricane Harbor, Los Angeles
• Six Flags Hurricane Harbor, New Jersey
• Six Flags Hurricane Harbor Phoenix, Arizona
• Six Flags Hurricane Harbor Splashtown, Houston, Texas
• Six Flags White Water, Atlanta
• White Water Bay, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
• Magic Waters, Rockford, Illinois

Two-Park Season Pass Holders may also visit waterparks that are explicitly included with their Two-Park Pass.

Thrill Passes may only be used for admission at the park they are purchased from.

Season Passes may ONLY be used at the Parks explicitly listed above. For example, Season Passes are not valid for admission to White Water Bay at Six Flags Great Escape Lodge & Indoor Water Park. Although discount passes, tickets, and add-ons may be available to allow you to visit other properties, admission is not included as part of your Six Flags Season Pass.

Passes must be picked up/registered on-site at the park they are purchased from. For example, if you buy a Six Flags Over Texas Season Pass you must first visit Six Flags Over Texas to register it and pick up your card before you may use it to visit other Six Flags theme parks.

Unless explicitly indicated, Regular and Gold Season Pass benefits and discounts may only be used at the park they are purchased from. Gold Plus, Platinum, Diamond and Diamond Elite Membership benefits may be used at any participating Six Flags Membership park, subject to availability (see the Membership page for details).

Six Flags Season Passes include admission and Pass Holder benefits at Six Flags Darien Lake and Frontier City, while Memberships include admission and Pass Holder benefits at Six Flags Darien Lake, Frontier City, White Water Bay, Hurricane Harbor Splashtown, Hurricane Harbor Phoenix, and Magic Waters.

If you think you'll visit the park at least once this year and at least once next year, then you definitely want to become a Six Flags Member. You will save a ton of money right off the bat off the cost of admission, and depending on which level of Membership you choose, you'll save a lot of money in park too. You'll also have a much better time. Only Members can get preferred parking, or unlimited soft drinks, or up to 50% off EVERYTHING they purchase in the park. Season Passes do not receive any of these benefits.

If you're pretty sure that you only want to visit the park this year (and not next year) and you don't care about any of the benefits mentioned above, then a Season Pass is likely a better value for you.

There are no signup or initiation fees to join our Membership program if you sign up during this sale.

We do charge online processing fees for purchases made online, however.

We do offer a Season Membership for those who want them. These can be found on the individual Membership product pages (for example, the Gold Plus Season Membership can be found on the Gold Plus Membership page).

Season Memberships include all of the same benefits as monthly Memberships, except that they automatically expire at the end of the season (for example, a 2019 Season Membership will be valid from September, 2018 until December, 2019).

Season Memberships not yet available for purchase at Darien Lake, Frontier City, White Water Bay, Wet 'n' Wild Phoenix, or Wet 'n' Wild Splashtown.

Submitting your cancellation request at the end of your initial 12 months is easy.

Unlike some places which make you call during business hours or submit your request in writing, we have an online form you can use to submit your cancellation request 24/7. If you have any trouble submitting your cancellation request, we have online chat during the day or you can call our national Member Service Phone Center and they can help you. Or you can fill out a form and we can help you.

The minimum commitment for participating in the Six Flags Membership program is 12 months.

After 12 months you can stay in the program as long as you want, or you can submit a cancellation request to end your Membership whenever you want through our online cancellation tool.

At the time you sign up for your Membership you can choose to provide us with a security deposit. This is not the same as a down payment: when you pay someone a down payment they keep it -- when you provide us with a security deposit we eventually give it back to you (provided that you've paid us all of your Membership fees and meet your obligations as described in the Membership agreement). The vast, vast, vast majority of people who choose to provide us with a security deposit get it back when they cancel their Membership.

Members who choose to provide us with a security deposit generally pay less than those who don't opt to provide us with a security deposit. However, other than the monthly fee being a little different, everything about the security and non-security deposit Memberships are exactly the same.

Memberships may be used to visit all Six Flags branded parks (any theme park with Six Flags in the name); Hurricane Harbor waterparks; Six Flags White Water in Atlanta, GA; the Great Escape and Hurricane Harbor theme park in upstate New York, and La Ronde in Montreal, Canada. It's about 20 different parks in North America.

Season Pass and Membership represent different ways to enjoy the park.

Season Pass Holders are primarily looking for an admission product that lets them visit the park as many times as they like (with a few special perks thrown in) while Members are looking for a “total Six Flags experience” that includes admission, parking, food, merchandise, games and everything else we have to offer.

Become a Member if you want admission and parking at every Six Flags and Hurricane Harbor, discounts EVERY time you visit, free upgrades, priority entry, and incredible unique experiences, bonuses and surprises. And special treatment. Plus you get a shiny card that looks WAY prettier than the regular Season Pass card -- the Diamond card even has a hologram!

The process is entirely automatic. You’ll sign up with your credit card, debit card or Paypal account and we will automatically charge you every month. We will not send you a monthly bill that you have to pay.

Unlike a Season Pass where you pay for an entire season at once, with Membership you only have to pay for one month at a time. This gives you the flexibility to cancel any time you want after the first 12 months instead of making you commit in full-year increments. In order to offer you that flexibility we have no way of knowing what your total cost will be.

No, but it is a really great idea we hope to be able to offer in the future.

It's very straightforward. When you sign up for your Membership you can choose to provide us with a security deposit or not. If you do we'll charge the security deposit to your credit card and hold on to it until you cancel your Membership. If all of your monthly fees are paid up and you've essentially lived up to your side of the contract, we'll return your security deposit to you in whatever fashion you provided it to us.

The vast, vast, vast majority of Members receive their full security deposit back when they cancel. 

The only difference between a "security deposit Membership" and a "non-security deposit Membership" is that those who provide security deposits pay a slightly lower monthly fee than those who choose not to provide a security deposit.

We will charge your credit card on the same day each month that you signed up.

So if you signed up for your Membership on June 15, then your next payment will take place July 15, and then August 15.

No, you will not be charged a processing fee every month.

There is a one-time per-order processing fee of $8.99 to $10.50 for all online orders (this is true whether you are buying tickets, season passes, etc). But you are not charged per ticket. After your initial order is complete you are never charged the processing fee again.

Actually, for Members, if you add-on additional products or upgrade your Membership to a higher level we will not charge you a processing fee for those transactions.

There is no set number of payments. You can cancel any time you want after the first 12 months.

Unlike other theme parks which offer payment plans, a Six Flags Membership is a monthly program like the YMCA, your Netflix account, or any of the various other programs that get paid month to month. While there is a 12 month initial commitment, you can cancel any time you like after that.

Yes. Once you have a Membership account you will be able to log in and change your payment method whenever you want.

Each benefit is different. Some benefits, like discounts on food, candy and merchandise don’t require any planning at all – just show your card at the register when you place your order or start your transaction and you will be given your discount. Other benefits, like certain upgrades and add-ons, must be purchased online through the Membership portal. In every case the instructions will be clearly laid out for you.

Yes. Gold Plus Members receive all of the same Bring a Friend Free days as Gold Season Pass Holders. These dates are published in the park newsletter and in the Membership Portal (and in the Six Flags Mobile App) at least a couple of months in advance.

All of your Membership benefits will be displayed in your Membership portal at sixflags.com/members OR you can view them in the Six Flags Mobile App once you register your Membership with the app.

A Member Dining Pass gives you either lunch and a snack (with a Basic Dining Membership) or lunch, dinner and a snack (with a Deluxe Dining Membership).
