Hi Everyone,

We have been buying the passes for quite a while now. Since we live right down the street, it's worthwhile. We go there almost everyday so we get our money's worth.
The book usually has coupons for discount drinks, food, etc. Last year they started the VIP parking passes so with the extra $60.00 you could park near the gate. (Which is great if it's busy, and you go out to your car to eat lunch.) There is also a line pass which we never used. I guess it allowed you to cut through the long lines. I never thought that was fair, so we never tried using them.
If you buy early for 2008 you get a refillable cup. I have bought several of those every year. They are/were $9.95 and then soda refills are just $1.06 Same for the refillable Cotton Candy tub. They change them from year to year so you can't refill last years cups. (Or so I am told, and I never tried getting last years cups refilled so I don't know for sure.)

Only 163 Days left until Hurricane Harbor Opens!!!!! :P

Good catch ttd rox! :D

I do have a question about ordering Season Passes. I could not find a place to order parking passes. Do they do that on-line, or do you have to wait for the park to open to get them. I know in years past, you were able to order them on-line with your Season Pass.

If it's in 2007 then chances are a 2007 season pass will be honored. Fancy that.
Captain, don't shake the passengers up too much this time!
Just giving them their money's worth!

Usually you don't need to wait in line to get a parking pass. They normally have that separate from the season pass line, and there's usually little to no wait.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure they're not available yet online or may not be this year. They may have them later on towards the season. I'm not 100% sure though.

I'm not sure.... They might consider the end of Fright Fest the end of the 07 season. But they might consider New Years Eve the last day of the 07 season. You can ask SixFlags OT a question by contacting them on their E-Mail on their offical site that should be at the bottom of the page or in Park Info.

Also, Yesterday when I went to get my season pass for only $60.00, it didn't order right and kept on saying ordering info not valid. Then my friend went to get one yesterday too and it said, ordering info not valid. Did this happen to anyone else?

Thanks for the answer ttd rox.

I would guess that if I purchase my parking pass at the park, that I could get a discount on it if I show that I paid for parking on that same day. I remember reading about this in years past. As long as you had the parking ticket from the booth, you would get whatever you paid to park that day off your parking pass.

If I buy a season pass for SFGA does it have to be processed there? The reason I ask is that we may be going to SFMM in April, but I'd rather get the passes from SFGA in order to get the 5 free friend passes for SFGA.

I Know that Cedar Fair allows you to process season passes at another park than which it was purchased.

It used to be that you had to live within a certain distance from the park which you were purchasing the SF pass from, but I don't think that's true anymore.

As for CF, I think you can only process a Platinum pass anywhere in the chain. You have to process a park pass from wherever you bought it from.

Thanks for everyone's input. I guess I was thinking that because the Six Flag season passes allowed you access to all Six Flags parks they were like CF Platinum passes.

If you are going to SFMM before SFGAM opens you can always contact the park and they will most likely let you come to the park and processes it early. If you had a pass last year and for some reason you could not renew it on-line. Call the Park. They will be able to renew it for you.

Ok, I have a question. This maybe a stupid one but it's my first season pass for SFGAm I got in December but do you just walk up in line like a regular printed ticket and show the pass to them? Also, does it cost the same to renew a season pass pass.

Yes, You can Enter in any line with a season pass. They will take your pass and scan it just like they do with the One day Tickets. Then they will give you your pass back. Re-new season pass cost the same as a new one.

Cool.^ I'm too far away to get a season pass to CP. Even though CP is worth driving 6 hours but still.

^I'm actually farther away than you are. You live east of me. Fortunately, I have a few friends that are going, so I get to go along. I'm going to the park 6 times.
