![]() Mungia loves the reaction she gets from visitors to the house and even scared her own little sister so badly that she fell on the floor. “Nobody used to scare in this room,” Mungia said as she showed off her scare area in a small room of the manor. She wore a simple white nightgown as she knelt down in the corner and pretended to cry. Trails of blood ran down Mungia’s head as a mask, via COVID-19 protocol, obscured part of her face. ![]() Six Flags is hoping your use come summertime will help ease the pain of the payments through the winter.Lizbeth Mungia, of Vallejo, haunts Nightmare Manor as she works during Fright Fest at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom. There’s value to be had in Six Flags’ newest season pass offering, but you’re not going to be having much fun when you pay $9 for a service you can’t use come February. I guess it’s balanced out by parking at Magic Mountain costing an extra $10, or something. How a regular pass at a Six Flags in southern California is cheaper than one in San Antonio, I don’t know. At Magic Mountain, the gold pass runs you $10 a month and includes admission to Hurricane Harbor - the standard one-park pass is just $6.08 a month. On May 4 next year I’ll be able to cancel my membership - but they’re hoping I won’t - whether that be thanks to a great experience at Six Flags parks this year or (more likely) because I forget to cancel it.īenefits and costs for each membership vary from park to park. No doubt Six Flags’ plan of attack here is much the same as other companies offering a membership: They don’t want you to cancel. These features are identical to what is offered with the season passes, so the only meaningful difference is that the price is paid over 12 months instead of in a lump sum. An extra bring a friend free ticket (still on select days).No blockout dates (regular passes are blocked out October 18, 25 and December 20-21).Parking is free at every Six Flags park! This is awesome! Parking runs anywhere from $10 to the still-beating heart of a close friend, so right off the bat this makes the gold membership worth it in my opinion.Some of the additional benefits of getting a gold membership (at Fiesta Texas): You can pay a dollar more a month and avoid making this payment the deposit is returned after you cancel your membership (so long as you’ve kept it current for a year, of course). The prices quoted above are after you’ve paid a $20 refundable security deposit. For the gold membership you pay $8.75 ($6.49 for 4+) and get the a few additional benefits. If you increase your quantity to four or more passes (clever girl) they drop the price to $5.65 a month. The standard membership at Six Flags Fiesta Texas (my “home” park) runs $6.58 a month if you purchase between 1-3 passes. If you buy a gold membership (I did) parking is free.Park-picked days to bring a friend for free (yes, these days do get extremely crowded).Free Fright Fest and Holiday in the Park admission.15 percent off retail purchases of $15 or more.Free admission to every Six Flags park in the country (day tickets are usually in the $45-50 range).Here’s a breakdown of what you’re getting with a Six Flags membership (standard): That low monthly payment won’t hurt a bit in May, June or July when the park is open seven days a week and the uses are a-plenty but how are guests going to feel in February when they quite simply can’t go to their local theme park? Yeah, that’s probably going to upset a few people. The real catch? How many Six Flags are open 12 months a year? You’re locked in for a calendar year and then you are free to cancel at any time. It’s a 12-month commitment, then beyond that, Six Flags will keep on billing you until you tell it to stop. The catch: The membership isn’t simply a payment plan. Before my wife started working at Disneyland, her annual pass was paid for monthly and I believe (though I may be mis-remembering) that Six Flags has offered something similar in the past. This is by no means a new idea in the theme park industry. The pitch: Low monthly payments that keep the cost of a season pass manageable. In its newest attempt to get your hips pushing through a turnstile, Six Flags unveiled a “membership” program. It's not quite at the level of Spirit Airlines - an airline known for cheap fares and bare-bones service but we know which end of the spectrum they occupy. While Universal and Disney continue to raise their prices (without hurting attendance, I might add), Six Flags tries to keep the cost of entry low, as its plans to make its money once you get inside the park. In recent history, Six Flags has been trying to find new and exciting ways to get people into their theme parks. Season Passes: Is one the better choice for you? May 11, 2014, 2:45 PM
