It is actually cheaper as you add more people. If you and 5 other friends buy a flash pass it turns out to be only $12 each. That is if you buy it online.
^ "A Regular The Flash Pass allows you to enjoy your day at Six Flags by avoiding long lines at your favorite rides. With a Regular The Flash Pass, you wait as long as everyone else is waiting, but not in line—you can enjoy your free time elsewhere in the park."
"With a Gold The Flash Pass, you enjoy a reduced wait time of up to 75%—allowing you to ride more rides with less wait."
Here is another way of breaking it down since i have used it multiple times this year.
Assume a busy day, some typical waits with Flash Pass (they are always a fairly round number which leads me to believe it is just an approximation and nothing scientific is really used)
For Gold
Dark Knight- 30-35 minutes .. entrance is right by the preshow, sometimes there is a flash pass line though Raging Bull- 15-20-25 mins .. entrance by the stairs to the station Superman - 15-20 mins usually.. entrance up to the platform Batman- 15-20 mins usually... entrance at sewer entrance V2- about 10-15-20 minutes ..... right up to the platform Iron Wolf 10-15 minutes.... up to platform
Water rides are generally the same, as you can see almost all times will be similar with Dark Knight always around 30 minutes for Gold. On a less busy day, expect them to be at 10 minutes.
On a day where the Raging Bull gold flash pass is around 10-15 minutes you will be able to get scanned in, reserve it right away again and by the time you get on the ride, ride it and get off, you should be able to ride again! its good times.
With regular flash pass, expect the times to be around 1 hour or more for most of the rides on a busy day. Sometimes it will be less, but you do pay alot less so you get what you pay for.
If you havent visited alot, i would say go for the Gold no doubt. But i have gone so much and still get the gold and you run out of things to do because you can hit so many rides so quick.
well me and my friend thought that we might want to get it once, ive been there 9 times (10th maybe today) this year so i dont really need one but might want to do it since i havent done it.
