GAcoaster Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 Good! They really do seem to be getting their act together this year with announcements and season passes together! I assume all the parks are doing the same... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batmanrobinchiller Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 Time to upsell the 2013 Season Pass! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoshi Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 (edited) It will be interesting to see how much it will be this year and how much season pass parking will cost.I'm hoping for under $130 total for both the pass with parking.

GAcoaster Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 I would guess the pricing will be along those lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gasmspiritblue Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 I wonder if the prices will be lower this year, with no safari? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted August 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 I wonder if the prices will be lower this year, with no safari? Wouldn't count on it! Luckily, the season pass prices are some of the lowest in the industry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truepolak90 Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 With the money spent on this safari upgrade and making a part of the theme park wouldn't surprise me of they jack up admission and passes after promotion is over.

GAcoaster Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 I'm trying to figure out why everyone thinks this will drive prices up? As it was, Safari was included with the season pass...if what I'm hearing is true, it still will be. Why would the price go up any more than it does from season to season based on inflation? I also keep reading on Facebook how terrible this is, and how the park is going to charge more for everything. I think they are forgetting this is a THEME PARK. Theme Parks are businesses not charities. They are in the business to make money. This is like going to a football/baseball game or a movie.

truepolak90 Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 That's good then, I can see attendance going up alot for the theme park as it will be a nice thing to do during your trip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gafreak Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 . This is like going to a football/baseball game or a movie. Actually going to GA is a hell of alot cheaper then a Giants game... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAcoaster Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 Actually going to GA is a hell of alot cheaper then a Giants game... Exactly! And how long is a game...3-4 hours of "entertainment" and all you're doing is sitting in a seat. With a season pass you can go as may times as you want in a season (usually the park is open 100+ day a year) for as many hours as you want (they're generally opened 8+ hours a day) and ride as many rides as you want, all for around $80. It's really the best bargain out there even if you spend the extra $50 for a parking pass. And compared to other park chains like Cedar Fair ($179), SeaWorld/Busch ($180), Hershey ($194 for only one park!), Universal Orlando ($225), and Disney ($850). Even if Six Flags DOUBLED the price (but included parking for every passholder) it would still be the cheapest one and offer more with access to more parks than any other chain.

acq10uaz Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 GAcoaster, have you heard anything about the new premium season passes? It includes free parking to all parks, early entry, free water park, etc. I'm sure it will STILL be cheaper than other parks. http://content.sixflags.com/news/greatadventure/2013-season-pass-on-sale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAcoaster Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 I'm not sure how all that is going to work/pricing. It's a concept they've talked about in the past and finally its going to happen! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truepolak90 Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 The premium pass sounds awesome! I want to check out Sfne, Sfa and Great escape so this will definately be a great value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the "free parking" feature is only included with the purchase of four passes, like the family plan in seasons past (good only on one of the four passes). It will be comparable to a three park pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAcoaster Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 Interesting to see they're offering a monthly payment program. In the past they've offered a three payment plan (which was a nightmare for Admissions/Guest Relations), but this promises to be better. SeaWorld does this as well, which means you get a pass and as long as you keep paying it never expires. It's a great deal because you never have to worry about renewing (just keeping your account up to date) and it locks the price in so even if the next seasons prices rise, you still get the old price.

Chiller Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 How is this any different than the current three park pass other than the monthly payment? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gafreak Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 i did the payment plan over 6 months and i never had an issue, i always have money in acct to cover the auto withdrawal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pashacar Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 How is this any different than the current three park pass other than the monthly payment? It's basically not, just with a new name. And judging by the copy on that page (though it's not 100% clear), it sounds like the regular pass will no longer offer admission to other SF parks. Nice find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DejaVu2001 Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 It is interesting that SFGAdv is referring to it as a Premium Pass while SFNE and SFGAm are referring to it as the Gold Pass. You would think the name would be the same throughout the chain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pashacar Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 One-gate properties are calling it Gold. Guessing our separate-gate HH is the root of the Platinum name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterSue Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 I'm curious why Great Adventure is the only park in the Six Flags chain that's not offering the Gold Pass option. I want the Gold Pass since it offers parking at all Six Flags parks and it's shame that I'm going to have to drive out of my way to SF America or SF New England just to get one.
