July 22, 2024 CHARLOTTE, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Six Flags Entertainment Corporation (NYSE: FUN), the largest and most diverse amusement park operator in North America, today announced that it has eliminated a guest surcharge fee on in-park food, beverage and retail purchases at participating legacy Six Flags parks. Most legacy Six Flags parks began applying a surcharge fee to all in-park food, beverage and retail purchases earlier this year due to increased labor and supply costs. The surcharge was automatically added at the beginning of every transaction and appeared as a separate line item on the guest’s receipt. Following the completion of the merger of Cedar Fair Entertainment Company and former Six Flags Entertainment on July 1, the decision was made to repeal those surcharge fees. (Two legacy Six Flags parks in California eliminated the surcharge fee just prior to that in anticipation of a change in state law.) “We always welcome feedback from our guests on how we can improve their park experience, and the surcharge fee at the legacy Six Flags parks was a frequent target for criticism,” said Tim Fisher, chief operating officer of the new Six Flags. “This decision shows we are listening to our guests and that we value their input. It also reinforces our focus on enhancing guest satisfaction, improving the value proposition and ensuring that families can enjoy a memorable day filled with fun and entertainment.” ABOUT SIX FLAGS ENTERTAINMENT CORPORATION Six Flags Entertainment Corporation (NYSE: FUN) is North America’s largest regional amusement-resort operator with 27 amusement parks, 15 water parks and nine resort properties across 17 states in the U.S., Canada and Mexico. Focused on its purpose of making people happy, Six Flags provides fun, immersive and memorable experiences to millions of guests every year with world-class coasters, themed rides, thrilling water parks, resorts and a portfolio of beloved intellectual property such as Looney Tunes®, DC Comics® and PEANUTS®.

While little is known at the current time - Cedar Point did share this: Seems like the All Park Passport is coming to the New Six Flags Company for 2025

It appears as thou the Boomerang at Darien Lake has gotten some love this off-season, hopefully it open for their opening weekend.

5/12/24 - Top Thrill 2 is currently experiencing an extended closure as Zamperla (the ride’s manufacturer) completes a mechanical modification to the ride's vehicles. Once the modification is complete, Zamperla, the Cedar Point maintenance & operations teams and our third-party ride inspection partner will conduct a thorough review before approving both the modification and the reopening of the ride. Though we cannot yet confirm a reopening date, we will provide updates here. We know our guests are excited to experience this incredible roller coaster, and we share your disappointment that we are not able to operate it this weekend. We will do everything possible to reopen Top Thrill 2 as soon as we are confident we can deliver the ride experience that our guests deserve.

Six Flags Parks across the chain have seem to post a interesting short video that might indicate that we will see the Mr. Six Mascot return to the chains marketing efforts.

Not sure if that is for all parks yet but it does seem to be for most from what I can see from the website. Seems like a good step in the right direction to get loyal pass holders.

In the Season Pass Holder benefits portal it now shows as FREE for pass holders who are platinum or diamond. Also works for Six Flags Plus and Legacy memberships.

Lots of good vlogs out there on reporting on SFMM removing the Golden Bear Theatre. Not much is know what is going to go on that piece of land yet. But many speculation are happening.
