Perfect, thank you. I really do wish these various similar but different systems were better explained on the website but I recognize this system from Kennywood, maybe they license it from Six Flags or some third party or something. Anyway the way we use the passes on long trips is a bit weird - we find if we go opening to close we're all exhausted. With the passes we can often finish things up quite a bit earlier in the day. It seems wasteful not to use the expensive pass every single minute but we have fewer post theme park crash days and get a lot more done on the trip overall which also means fewer hotel rooms. We don't typically do that for shorter trips but for longer trips it means not repeatedly grinding the family into the ground by doing 12+ hours a day in the summer heat.
I’m going July 10 and I’m a 10 yr old kid that has gone on all the rides there nothing scares me at all and this is my first time buying it with my own money from my birthday so I hope I have fun
Thank you for explaining this! I'm planning to go to SFMM in the middle of July for the first time. I thinking about getting the ultimate flash pass because I will be there on a weekend.
The Flash Pass wait time may be for the Flash Pass waits. I rotate between Saturdays at Great America and Cedar Point... While, after walking all the way to Maverick and being surprised to find the Fast Lane line out onto the midway and around the corner, I have NEVER waited for more than a few minutes to get on rides using Flash Pass at Great America. Cedar Fair Fast Lane creates shorter lines, while 6 Flags Flash Pass creates MUCH shorter waits. Especially if you reserve your next ride as soon as your pass is scanned for your current ride.
I was there at Labor Day and the price for the ultimate was $245. However, they were selling the the ultimate flash pass for the season(the rest of 2024 & 2025) at $275. Both my buddy and I bought one. Even though the price was steep it is well worth it and honestly it will pay itself.
Question!!!! I got 2 flash passes (for me and for my sister). I got an email saying on the day of my visit Ill have to validate my flash passes. Will I be able to see my sisters on my app? When I go to the Flash Pass line, will I be the responsible of showing mine and hers?
Amazing video. You make GREAT content ! I hope to see a lot more from you. Also, I would love if you separated your videos into different playlist on your channel as well
How are we supposed to deal with the flash pass on the phone on rides that don’t allow anything at all? Jersey Devil or El Toro for example. You need to scan but are not allowed a phone 🤔🤔
They have small lockers for that reason on those rides. Free for JD Ka and El Toro. JD and Ka have special ones for flash pass. Toro has free lockers in line for everyone.
if you go on a weekday, the flash pass tends to be cheaper, so i believe it is more worth it. also helps ensure if the park does get busy, you will not be stuck waiting in lines
@@robc301 if you are going for a day or its a weekend, then i would buy a flash pass especially if its your first time. the mid level flash pass is the one to buy.
I just want to say that the very best day to go to Six Flags Magic Mountain is Super Bowl Sunday! I try and go every year because it is practically empty. Most rides have a wait time of 5-15 minutes and a lot of rides are walk on. Tatsu had the longest wait of 20min
I am planning to go here on Sunday, August 25. The crowd forecast calendar says I don't need a flash pass, but do I need a flash pass? We are tourists from Japan and want to enjoy everything in one day.
If it’s not within your budget, don’t. But I will be going august 10th. Seeing that you want to go to all rides, you could get it because the forecast can be wrong.
This is better explained that the Six flags website
This video is super well made and informative! Well done!

I hope you do too! July 10th is my birthday too
Is that you in your profile picture
@@1017koyaa no bro😂 I just found it and put it on there yeah I’m not going anymore it’s to hot
How was it?
@@KevinHernandez-qz8sb so I did not go because of the heat it was 100+😭
tip: once you get the qr code, take a screenshot of it. Then you use that and not rely on the app to reload it.
Thank you!
Thanks for the breakdown! 🎉

Do you get the ultimate fast pass or the premium?
This is what i needed to know! thank you!
Great video. Great information. Thank you

You can opt to have multiple passes in your phone for you and your girlfriend. So yes you can have it scanned once for the both of you
Amazing video. You make GREAT content ! I hope to see a lot more from you.

I've the same question. You need to store your phone and wallet before riding, but need to scan the flashpass first...how does that work 🤔🤔
They have small lockers for that reason on those rides. Free for JD Ka and El Toro. JD and Ka have special ones for flash pass. Toro has free lockers in line for everyone.
@@kmccurdy21 That's awesome and thanks for the info! Travelling to Great Adventure in a month!
Do you think the flash pass will be necessary on a weekday during the summer ? Say like a Wednesday during June or July. At six flags magic mountain
Probably not. But summer vacation means more kids at the park.
if you go on a weekday, the flash pass tends to be cheaper, so i believe it is more worth it.
also helps ensure if the park does get busy, you will not be stuck waiting in lines
Supposed to go in a couple of weeks . Trying to decide to get it for my son n I. It's his first time going

Do i have to just buy one flash pass for three or would have to purchase 3 seperate flash passes?
Amazing video!
Well explained!! I wish i watched this before i went there yesterday
Just a quick question is there internet on the park??
Did you at least have fun??
@@MrDeath-bn8uv yes
@@lamuertte yesss
Can you use it more than once on each ride?

Would you recommend the ultimate or premium on a Sunday? It’s a one day thing and we want to get in as many rides as we can.
Sundays are tough. They can be real hit or miss.
Can I purchase one Flash Pass and use it for all 4 members of my party?
How would it work if I Buy multiple flash passes ? Do my friends have to download the app ?
Nope, just put in the flash pass serial numbers in the app and you can have it scanned on behalf of everyone
Thank you excellent video
Summer weekends, Platinum would be a lifesaver if you can afford it.
How do I get the Flash pass? I don’t see it online ….
On the park home page, hover over 'Tickets and Passes' and click on 'One Day Add-Ons'. You'll find it there.
Ultimate is now no wait at all.
this woulda been great... if the flash pass wasnt overhauled about a week ago 😭
What do you mean?
Hi I went there with Hailey on Monday
Ultimate is no wait now
Really? Huge
But now I’m going with dad
🙀🙀
