Six Flags has made many massive changes in the last few years.
In this page, we'll explain what aSix Flags Annual Pass is, thedifferent typesofAnnual Passes,and whether or notAnnual Passes are still being offered at Six Flags.
What is a Six Flags Annual Pass?
ASix Flags Annual Passallows an Annual Pass holder to visit the park an unlimited number of times throughout the year, on all days that are open to the public.
These passes offered benefits including complimentary parking, access to water parks such as Hurricane Harbor, access to special events, and discounts, which we will all cover below.
Six Flags Ends Annual Passes And Turns to Season Passes
However, it's important to know that earlierlast year, Six Flags decided to move away from the Annual Pass and began offeringSeason Passes in their place.
We've created an entire guide on everything that the Six Flags Season Pass offers, the types of passes available, which parks offer which passes, and much more.
Annual Pass vs Season Pass Differences
It's important to know that an Annual Pass is different than a Season Pass.
A Season Pass typically gives you access to that entire 'Season' for the year, while an Annual Pass will be valid for an entire year.
For example, if you purchase a Season Pass in July, it will be valid until the end of that 'Season' which is typically until December 31st of that year.
You'll want to double-check the terms of service for the Six Flags park that you're planning on visiting.

Paying For an Annual PassUsinga PaymentPlan
The Monthly payment plan, also known as 'FlexiblePay' is a payment plan that you can follow to pay for your Six Flags Annual Passes.
Rather than paying for the Annual pass all at once, it allows you to have the flexibility to split up your payment over several months.
You'll pay the same amount every month, for 12 consecutive months.

- Input your contact and billing information
- Select which Upgrades you want (if none, click 'Continue')
- Review the Six Flags Annual pass monthly payment on the screen

PayFor Your Six Flags Annual Pass inFull
FlexiblePayisn't the only option, however, as you can also choose to pay the full price instead.
You'll simply select 'I would like to pay for my Annual Pass in full today' and you'll simply review the total amount and checkout (rather than review the monthly payment schedule and agree to those terms).
How to Get My Annual Pass

When Should I Get an Annual Pass
If you're planning on visiting the park at least 2 times in a season, an AnnualPass may be a good option for you.
