Take Advantage Of Six Flags' Ultra-Budget Membership Deal Before Prices Go Up

One of the most enjoyable summer activities to take part in is a trip to a Six Flags amusement park. For over 60 years, Six Flags has been serving up hundreds of roller coasters, holiday events, and nostalgic memories for families all across North America. With more than 40 parks spanning the United States, Canada, and Mexico, Six Flags has made a name for itself as one of the most popular amusement park companies in the world. However, the entertainment empire has recently been facing a decline in summer park attendance, and announcements of several Six Flags amusement park closures have been made over the past year.

In light of this unfortunate setback for the company, Six Flags is offering a major deal on 2026 tickets lasting until September 2, 2025 (the price increases after that date). With the Six Flags Most Valuable Pass Sale, you can purchase a Six Flags Gold Membership for as low as $5.99 a month, or $55 for the entire year, depending on your location (although they also add on a one-time $20 "initiation fee" when you purchase). This unlocks access to all 42 Six Flags parks, and includes holiday events, free parking, and one bonus Bring-A-Friend ticket. Additionally, you can upgrade to the Prestige Membership for as low as $11.99 a month or $145 a year to get additional park benefits, like VIP entrance, preferred parking, and two additional Bring-A-Friend tickets.

With several park closures either announced or forecasted, 2025 has appeared to be a rocky year for the legendary entertainment company. There is potential for an iconic Northern California amusement park, Great America in Santa Clara, to shut down in 2028, and Six Flags America in Maryland is already set to close in November 2025. With a 9% decrease in park attendance, a net loss of $100 million in the second quarter of 2025, and the announcement of CEO Richard Zimmerman stepping down, things do not seem to be looking good for Six Flags.

Six Flags attributed most of its loss of income and park attendance to the severe storms and extreme temperatures that persisted over the course of May and June 2025, which interrupted regular park operations and ultimately convinced many parkgoers to stay home. Nevertheless, Six Flags is optimistic, with CEO Richard Zimmerman praising the Most Valuable Pass Sale in an August 2025 press release, saying, "The recent launch of our 2026 season pass sales program has produced solid early results." With the expectation that severe summer weather will subside come fall, combined with the new 2026 ticket deal, the company predicts the demand for tickets will continue to rise.

If you still aren't sure about making the jump on this discount, just keep in mind that if you visit the parks more than once, the membership will pay for itself several times over. For reference, a Good Any Day ticket to Six Flags Magic Mountain in California is $72 online. This means that by investing in the Gold Membership at $55 a year, you are already getting your money's worth with just one visit to an amusement park that the whole family will love. Hopping on this deal early not only ensures that next summer will be a blast, but by continuing to attend Six Flags parks, you can be sure the beloved entertainment company will continue to bring thrills to folks all across the country.

To cash in on this once-in-a-lifetime deal, it's important to note that you must purchase and activate your membership at your "home park," or the park where you purchase your tickets. Also note that the price varies depending on where that park is located: A membership in Los Angeles, for example, is more expensive than the same membership in Phoenix. The membership must be used at the ticket holder's home park before it can be used at any of the other Six Flags parks. You can buy tickets online through your home park's website or in person at your home park's guest services.
