We got to go on 10 total different rides and 2 of them we went on twice in span of 6-ish hours.<\/p>\nThis past Sunday I and my 13yr old went to Six Flags Magic Mountain (Valencia, CA). We got to go on 10 total different rides and 2 of them we went on twice in span of 6-ish hours.<\/p>\n
The park opened at 10:30. We left at 9am and we were parked by 10:30. It took 45 minutes to get through security (walk through metal detectors).<\/p>\n
So now we get to our first ride of choice, X2 and find the wait is 2.5 hours …. WTF!!!!<\/p>\n
I haven’t been to Six Flags in prob 20 years and this is the boy’s first time. I was expecting lines but shit not like that.<\/p>\n
So I decide to splurge and go check out the Flash Pass.<\/p>\n

HOLY F*******!<\/p>\n
There are 3 price options<\/p>\n
$40 > regular > reserve 1 ride while standing in line 3 hours at another ride<\/p>\n
$75 > “GOLD” > cuts waits to times up to 50% (can’t ride x2, colosus, full throttle, I think)<\/p>\n
$115> “Platinum” > cuts wait times up to 90% (add another $15 for 1 ride of X2)<\/p>\n
I went All Out!<\/strong><\/p>\n I paid the $115 per person + $15 per person to get X2<\/p>\n What we went on: Food:<\/strong><\/p>\n Lines were horrible, didn’t even try to eat. So we each had 2 icecream bars and a bag of chips and drank water at the fountains.<\/p>\n Overall Experience:<\/strong><\/p>\n We had a good time. Bummed we couldn’t do Riddler’s Revenge as it was closed. There was not enough time in the day to do more rides.<\/p>\n THE COST:<\/strong><\/p>\n For 2 people I spent close to $400. That made our cost per ride per person approx $17.00<\/p>\n Was it worth it? Mostly I’m just boggled at the prices of Amusement parks these days. More so the price for a regular ticket and have to wait in those lines.<\/p>\n It was nice splurging and basically having no wait for any ride. At first I wanted to say that it was not worth the cost, but the more I think about this it made the experience worth it. Maybe go again on a day with longer hours to really get more use out of the Flash Pass.<\/p>\n 9 out of 10, would do it again (in a couple years)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This past Sunday I and my 13yr old went to Six Flags Magic Mountain (Valencia, CA).

\n(Starred rides mean that only 1 ride was available for the day. Couldn’t go twice.)<\/p>\n\n
\nThis was a cool ride, but not enough to do again and have to pay that much money. It was thrilling but it was over before i even knew it.<\/li>\n
\nReminds me of Accelerator at Knott’s. It was cool and would do it again<\/li>\n
\nI loved this one. I would have gone on more times if we had time<\/li>\n
\nMeh. This was too rough and it hurt.<\/li>\n
\nAwesome 255ft drop. Didn’t do it again but would<\/li>\n
\nMeh: Too rough and it hurt.<\/li>\n
\nAwesome! Of course I had to try this because I’ve been on Colossus before it was Reborn in 2015<\/li>\n
\nLame<\/li>\n
\nThis was pretty wicked and a unique layout for a ride.<\/li>\n
\nMostly lame. The VR was ok but the Focus was off on my headset. If the focus was better would I do again? maybe<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\nWould I do it again this year? Hell no not for that cost<\/p>\n
