I am still debating on if I should get six flags passes instead of SDC, or in addition to SDC

I am planning on going out there tomorrow afternoon/evening. I would think it should be pretty light traffic, correct?

That seems light but then again, it was cold and last I checked most of the coasters appeared to be closed per the app.

So if that is the case, Hershend might not be off the hook on this deal.

This guy is standing about midway where you watch the plunge from the platform today, and the mill which was the entrance. I have another old picture from the internet that shows the entrance to the old Float Trip. The entrance is right behind the man sitting down. Sorry about the quality of the picture, but the answer to your question is no. The loading today is on the other side of the mill in these pictures.

So in other words, this guy and the entrance to the old ride is basically the exit for the current ride

FYI I just checked their website and in the FAQ it still has the line about honoring pre 2012 mugs.

I have never even had them question it or try to charge me more than $1. Last year, this year, last week, etc.

They have stopped honoring them. I was told that this summer and actually shown the memo.We used our Buzz Saw mugs just this past weekend several times, and used them a few weeks ago as well.
I think the question is how are they honoring them. Are they totally doing away with the grandfathered in mugs and just doing the current year....or are they doing away with the $1.00, $1.50, etc, and just charging current refill price for these mugs?
They charged us $1

We have had season passes to Frontier City for several years and and usually had passes to that as well as SDC at the same time. Right now we usually go up to SDC at least once a month and usually do 2 days when we are up there. This year it seems like when we go up there were are only there maybe 2-3 hours and we are done.
I have not been back to FC in the last couple of years and now that they are part of Six Flags, I figured we could go to FC often as they are about the same distance as it is for us to go to SDC, plus hit St. Louis and Texas a few times during the year.
Looking on the FC site, it appears they are only selling the gold membership, but if you go thru the other parks you can get the higher levels if that is in fact worth messing with. If I did it, I would probably also get the dining package as well, something I wish SDC offered

« on: October 31, 2018, 06:33:56 PM »Yeah they need to price it about $15-20 less to be more competitive with Cedar Fair or Six Flags.
Speaking of which, I posted this in the other park area too, but I am considering doing Frontier City passes or membership for next year instead of SDC. It appears their passes now include all or most six flags parks as well, just trying to sort thru all the different options. As far as memberships go, it looks like they only offer gold from Frontier City, so if you want diamond elite looks like you have to buy it from a different park, if its worth it that is, which it probably isnt

So I am currently debating on skipping SDC season pass this year and doing Frontier City. It looks like their passes and/or membership now includes all or most other Six Flags parks. I have not dug into prices and options yet but it seems like this might be something to seriously consider. Anybody got any thoughts? I have never been to a Six Flags park before.

Yea I noticed that this past weekend. I meant to include it in my trip report but forgot about it. The music in FITH still does not seem to be working although most everything else does seem to be.
