Yes, they stripped all the benefits from Gold Pass forcing people to get at least Gold Plus membership to get the previous benefits, which comes at a $15 to $20 higher cost depending on the park. The trade off is it's a small monthly payment instead of a lump sum with a pass, so many people don't mind. The monthly is enticing to those buying 3 or 4 passes for a family over a lump sum.

As a business model the memberships make sense. I would rather pay a few bucks a month than a big lump sum. I really don't see much overall downside to the membership system. I can have a Six Flags diamond elite membership for far less than an LA Fitness membership.

@@digdougx The potential downside to memberships is the business gives away pricing power to an extent. People in general seem to be "more cranky" about a membership going up in price over a pass. Several companies across industries have done research on the "push back" can be substantial on raising a membership price. Cedar Fair specifically said it's one of the reason they aren't keen on membership, they think they lose some pricing power. Some studies back that notion up. CF would rather offer the monthly payments on passes & feel they can do yearly price increases with less push back than in a membership model.

I love Diamond Elite and agree 100% with you on every topic you hit. I think those are definitely the most valuable perks. If you’re alone, Diamond is more worth it, but I’m always at least with one other person. Thanks for posting, these are things I’ve been thinking about and it’s nice to hear someone else’s opinion!

I got a gold plus membership this past year and it was really nice to have, as a (former) college student it was great to not have to pay up front and the $8/mo basically went unnoticed. I only managed to make it to SFNE but I went several times and the free parking and bring a friend deals (I think I went on a $20 friend day) were completely worth it. Even though I didn’t visit any other six flags parks, the membership ended up being much better than a season pass.

I've never thought twice about my DE for SFA. The preferred parking alone is so great. Excellent value.

1 Day Admissions: You're still wondering how you spent $200 when you only paid admission Members: You're a masochist in terms of spending Gold & Gold+: You're just happy to be there Platinum: You're practically diamond elite!

Great job explaining all the benefits! It really will help people to figure out what is best for them & their plans. For me personally, the gold pass is still easily the best option. At Frontier City or SFOT, I can get the gold pass every Labor Day weekend for around $66, $80 after fees. The gold membership would be $100 after fees, plus the refundable deposit, so a bigger difference than SFMM. There aren't any of the gold membership benefits that I would take much advantage of. I did the dining plan last year, and I figured out that I saved another $40 by doing gold pass plus dining vs membership plus dining, so around $60 total saved. Plus, I personally hate monthly fees. I want to pay it all up front, and have an expiration date, no need to cancel.

I love my de membership. It’s nice to have 50 percent off when you have friends or family visiting and when you travel.

i got the diamond elite last year and have been loving it! the preferred parking at MM is a life saver on busy days. I study out of state, so whenever I do get to go home, I got to the park and use all the benefits I can. Definitely worth it in my opinion. Within, I'd say, five visits, you get almost all your moneys worth!

thanks for showing some good clips of my home park in the beginning. i guess now you know why i thought i saw you riding shockwave than any other rollercoaster XD

Awesome work on the video. My wife and I have the diamond memberships. My 2 kids have gold memberships it’s cool the amount of perks you get and how u can collect points for freebies or discounts. The reason I bought them was for the front of the line pass every visit

Just discovered your channel and all I gotta say is that I am impressed. 🤔

Loved this video. I just recently went from Platinum to Diamond Elite. First I wanted to buy two shirts. Then my friend wanted to know if I wanted to go do all the haunted houses. Since that was 20 I knew if I upgraded then it would be free if I upgraded. Combine that with how the meal plan is only 4 dollars with the Diamond Elite and it became worth it.

I love the diamond elite membership.i think it’s really good if your going with multiple people to the park and you find yourself eating in the park more than not. For a family of 3 on average you could normally spend around 60$ for dining one meal at a six flags park now that total gets cut to 30$ . The 2 skip the line passes are nice as I travel a lot. So when I have limited time at the theme parks that’s helps out a bunch. The preferred parking is nice especially for my home park Great Adventure because the walk from the back of the parking lot is a haul when the lots get filled especially around fright fest. And bro like you said for someone like myself who likes to get a ton of merch when I go to theme parks, the Wal-Mart prices are quite nice.

Thanks for this video. I'm getting my son a membership to Magic Mountain for his birthday. Sounds like Diamond Elite is the way to go.

I trying to decide what I should get. This was very helpful on my desion.

I bought a Gold Pass for 2019 during the 2018 Labor Day Sale. Actually I think a bought a season pass and got a free gold upgrade. I haven't had a SF pass since 2001 because I live an hour east of Cedar Point and there just isn't any parks close enough. So when they bought Darien Lake (again) and Cedar Point wasn't building a coaster I figured I could get the Darien Lake credits and SF Great America credits for $65 plus travel expenses. I couldn't pass it up! I could see Diamond Elite being a good value if you're close or doing a road trip. Another great video!

Fellow 💎 elite member here, keep up the great work and hope to meet you at magic mountain one day!

I've always gotten free admission to Six Flags Great Adventure and Six Flags America because I work at Hersheypark, which as a reciprocal agreement with those parks. However, that does not include parking, which will run you $35 at SFGA. I ended up getting the Diamond Elite membership which costs less than parking does, even with the meal plan and I have really appreciated having it. I also have family in Atlanta and have used my membership at SFOG and White Water.

My husband and I have the Diamond membership and the meal plan. We love it. We are an older couple and do not do most of the rides. What we like is a safe place to walk around and the shows and concerts through out the year along with eating out at the park. We liked the water park during the summer. Free admission for friends and family is also a great perk that is offered off and on through out the year. Christmas is really nice at the park in Texas. Just going once a month we come out way ahead of what we pay in and never worry about going when the budget gets tight at the end of the month if we want to go then.

I bought Platinum this year, but I'm so upgrading to Diamond Elite next year! The waterpark seating reservation along with 50% off of everything helps a lot since I buy a ton of Six Flags merch! 😘

I'm super happy I pulled the trigger on Diamond Elite/Deluxe Meal plan before they removed the option to buy memberships/unlimited meal plans. I also went overkill and bought the season platinum flash pass, because I absolutely hate standing in line. So far, it has been the BEST purchase of my life.

Great video. Was a tough debate for me during the Flash Sale but I ultimately got the Season Pass with Dinning. Was really considering getting a Season Flash Pass due to my work schedule and only having time on the weekends when rides are super packed. That’s a lot of mula though and it only applies to MM and not the other parks I plan to go to in the next year, and information on the charge for additional riders was extremely vague. I wish Flash Pass discounts were applied to all pass holders, they’d honestly might get more money out of me that way than an elite membership. Also, If your at the park this Friday look for me at X2 at midnight. Gonna be my first ride as a 26 year old!

I got the diamond elite membership the best flash and dining pass options. My best advice is get there as soon as the park opens to get your flash pass than leave and do whatever, because in my 2021 experiences the flash pass line has been super long but very worth it !!

Thank you for this priceless info.

its definitely worth it. i saved hundreds within just 2 days with my family. i have the flash pass and dining pass with it. oh and i brought me friend during 2 of the bring a friend free days and he ended up saving over $200 because of free entry and 50% off all food, drink, ect.

I love my diamond elite membership, the 50% off discount is huge. Also you forgot one thing, that 50% also discounts the dining pass so you pay less for the dining pass (I think the dining pass costs just over 4 bucks a month with DE). I found the diamond elite with dining pass comes to just under what the Cedar Fair platinum + dining + drink comes to per month, and I find I get much more from it than the Cedar Fair one, since they only give you a 20% discount. However I am also someone who hits Magic Mountain on a weekly basis.

Love your videos! Keep up the great work :D

I'm glad I have a friend who has it cause the only thing I would use is the 50% off which I can just use his. Plus I'm on the media list at sfdk so I don't need to worry about the early ride stuff. And I also have another thing for the rides so no need for that. I still don't think it's entirely worth it. If you're in the unique position to like withing

I got the platinum membership about 2 years ago, and in October, I upgraded to Diamond Elite and it was definitely worth it! When you do the math for it, you really only need to go to Six Flags a few days per year to make up the money you spent. I went 10 times last year and memberships save so much money. And the preferred parking at Great Adventure is so much better than regular parking

50% off and fright fest wristbands were the winning points for me. I haven’t gone in almost 10 years before this February, so to be able to go with all these perks is way nicer than I remember season passes. And I’m able to take both my kids who respectively have a platinum and gold pass because they don’t go as often or need the benefits I get because I’m the one buying everything anyway. My kids dad pays for the gold pass for my youngest and I pay for my oldests platinum plus dining pass, for about $34 a month when we go multiple times a month it’s so worth it.cheaper than taking the family to a movie

I recently went with the platinum membership which for me is a great value since I’ll only get to my park Great America once or twice a month at best. If I lived closer or could have easier ways to get there (I’m about an hour away and don’t drive) then I would definitely go top tier but the platinum level works for my usage.

I just bought a couple season passes since I’m going to magic mountain for 2 days in early September and don’t have plans to visit my home park, Discovery Kingdom, in the near future. Seemed more cost effective for me to just get passes for the 2 days down south. Taking my brother in law for his first trip there and we are riding everything

Honestly the membership pays for itself in only a few visits so there’s no harm in giving it a go if you can manage going a few times. Plus the benefits are huge with the 50% and skipping the line. Also I’d like to say the preferred parking at great adventure is great since it’s so near the entrance. It’s gonna be great on my visits to six flags parks next summer and magic mountain in 2 weeks! Hopefully I see you there that weekend !

I have a platinum membership, and I actually only pay 10$ a month since I got it while it was on sale. It was gold plus with a free upgrade to platinum

Our home park is sfne and the preferred parking thing is awsome but like you said if its a last minute thing you can't go in however i have gotten away with it before also not all places in sfne check member passes for drinks

My sister and I have regular Diamond passes. We're really happy with the perks that it has. I think if I were doing better financially and planned to travel to visit a bunch of parks throughout the year, I'd probably end up going with the Elite too. But seeing as we're only hitting Magic Mountain about once per month, we're really happy with what Diamond offers us. It certainly costs way less than the ~$50/month I pay for the So Cal Annual Pass to Disneyland Resort. ;)

So I live less than 15 minutes from SF MM in So Cal. I'm visiting the park once or twice a week for a couple of hours at a time - grab a snack and meal, use my skip-the-line passes and jump on a couple rides, then head home - without spending a dime out of pocket at the park. I stopped getting my hopes up for priority preferred parking though, it's a pain to score a reservation in the small lot next to the entrance. But man the membership is totally worth it for someone like me.

Yeah the whole 50% off thing is really worth it before I moved to texas last year I was working six flags magic mountain and it was around the time theses new passes came out and were becoming more and more widespread, thus one couple with tons of kids came in and order a 146$ meal which at Kattys Kettle was a lot and then they used the 50% off and some other coupons they had for certain items they ordered and it came out to only 56$, it was pretty neat, so in my experience the diamond elite is very useful and you should get it if you can.

I live in San Antonio and I have the diamond Elite. When purchasing membership, you have an option to add the dining pass for an extra 4.70. So in total, I pay 25 a month. The meals themselves can go up to $15. And I get 2 of those meals FREE every visit? Plus a snack? Thats saving like $40 per visit just on food alone. All the perks that come with it are neat as hell too. It is completely worth it.

I have a Gold Plus, and that's enough for me, as someone who pretty much never gets food, maybe gets one t-shirt from each park I go to, and plans out my trips to go on the least busy days. And also doesn't go to Fright Fest in favor of cheaper (and much better) professional haunted attractions.

i got 2 diamond elite memberships with the dinning pass included totaling 600 dollars this year, i visit magic mountain 5 times including one on fright fest, one on holiday at the park and one on discovery kingdom ,those six times i took 2 friends paying 20 for each on promotion days saving me 180 also at least 200 on food on for them on the 50% discount and 300 on the flash pass upgrade from gold to platinum flash pass for me it's an amazing deal just on that ,plus the extra perks you get for me it's worth it

I just have the Gold Plus. It's pretty good even if it's basic, if only because it's much cheaper than any other amusement park chain's season pass. Different Six Flags parks charge different prices for their memberships though.

For my birthday, my parents got me diamond passes for a year at Great Adventure, but they upgraded us to diamond elite because of the delay park opening. :)

From my experience, St Louis doesn't actually check whether or not you reserved preferred parking and often just gives it to diamond or diamond elite regardless

Magic Mountain seems to be much more official with its policies than other SF parks ive been to

I’ve had my diamond elite with dining pass since they first introduced it! So I’m grandfathered in on the pricing which is less then the Diamond pass currently :D and they gave me the free upgrade to the Diamond Elite VIP which arguably wasn’t that big of an upgrade but it was free so can’t complain :D

What would you recommend for someone from Germany who is thinking about doing a US trip within the next couple of years? I would probably go to New England, Great Escape, La Ronde, Darien Lake, and Great America. Is the regular Gold Pass enough or should I consider a membership?

I stick with just a gold pass. The nearest park for me is my old home park Darien Lake. I occasionally visit great America. But I haven’t been in a few years. I visited New England for the first time this year. And I usually visit Great Adventure in the fall. I probably average maybe 4 visits a year to a six flags since I’ve bought a gold pass since they took over Darien again. Being that I live 5 minutes from Cedar Point that’s the pass I go all out for. Platinum, Dining and drink plan and don’t mind spending that much money for because I visit the park often. But if I lived closer to a six flags I would probably consider diamond or diamond elite.

I’m definitely considering getting a diamond or diamond elite membership because of the perks that I don’t have as a gold plus member (yeah, I was a peasant until I got a job this past winter). I’d love the Flash Pass benefits as I get it every time I visit a Six Flags park I’d also get the earliest access to new attractions, as I remember when Wonder Woman opened the diamond and diamond elite members got to ride a little while earlier than platinum and gold plus members, as well as regular season pass holders. I’d kill to be one of the first riders on Jersey Devil next year!

Im kind of surprised they had Diamond/Diamond Elite previews. I have only seen members only previews (all tiers)

Airtime Thrills Yeah, it’s a bit odd in my opinion

I was a season pass holder for years, then they took away the way entry, and made it only for membership. I have 4 in my household, so even as a local, more than the gold membership is cost prohibited...we go for a couple hours, then home for lunch.

I've had a diamond elite pass for more than a year now, and I'm still amazed at how much money I'm saving with it. So far I've visited Over Texas twice, St Louis once, and Fiesta Texas every week. I've noticed some weird things with Fiesta Texas however. There is no membership-only entrance, there are multiple lounges throughout the park, and the Joker skip the line passes are only available for gold and platinum members. I guess this makes sense because Diamond and Diamond Elite members get ERT about once a month. But by far the strangest quirk of this membership is that you only have access to rsvp park perks at the home park specified when the membership was purchased. So I bought my Diamond Elite membership at Over Texas, and I wanted to rsvp for the Fiesta Texas 2020 preview event. I was unable to do so because Fiesta Texas was not specified as my home park (Over Texas was). The event did not show up in my membership portal. The only way around this was to cancel the membership and pay for a new one with Fiesta Texas as my home park. It all worked out, but beware of special events not at your home park.

Thats a good point, but the pass and membership prices do vary per park so it makes sense that they would limit you to the benfits at the park in which you bought your pass

My husband and I had it, but we recently cancelled it. We didn't go enough to justify spending money every month, especially since our local SF park isn't open year-round. If you'll use it, it's a good deal.

I had a membership for a year to Diamond and we used it to visit the two six flags parks in Texas on multiple occasions including the water parks. The perks were nice and we enjoyed the parks. Since we live in Arkansas we decided to drop the membership this year. It sucks that you have to give Six Flags three months' notice before you end the membership. I know its in the fine print but that was money that could have been better spent elsewhere. I personally think they should abandon season passes and go strictly with the different memberships but offer a method to prepurchase the membership for a annual rate for a nice discount. They need to simplify the model and make the whole operation less confusing. We will consider going with a new membership in a few years but right now we want to save up for a different kind of vacation.

Thanks , that’s a lot of info !

Seeing this video after memberships have been removed is interesting and reinforces the reasons for me keeping my Diamond Elite, until they force us to get rid of them.

I have never been to a Six Flags park as of yet. I am going to try to get to a couple next year and I have thought about buying a membership. Thanks for this video! It really helped a lot with understanding the different tiers better as I feel like the website is kind of confusing. I surely won't get the diamond elite, but I'm thinking the Platinum would be good for me. I just want something that includes unlimited admission to all parks, unlimited free parking and some discounts. The Platinum would include free parking correct? Also I did not realize that haunt attractions at Six Flags were an upcharge. I thought they were included with admission! Good thing for me I'm not too big on Halloween attractions!

All memberships plus the gold season pass have free parking and decent discounts. Seems like you might be best off getting the gold season pass.

@@AirtimeThrills ok great!

This was my first season on the membership program. I got it during a sale so I pay for gold plus but get platinum perks. Its pretty worth it. The one skip the line per year seems pretty pointless though

Did you keep your membership during 2020 and upgrade to diamond elite vip? If so, is the upgrade worth it?

Cool video idea! Can’t wait to watch the whole thing! Also, quick question, you know when your on el toro it feels like your head is going to come off? Do you feel that same feeling on Nitro or Kingda Ka?

@saigar9909

I live in Jersey and Great Adventure is my home park. Nitro you don't feel at all except during the final helix. And Kingda Ka you do not feel, it's more of a force pushing you against your seat.

@noahberlin3953

El toro is certainly a lot more violent the ka and nitro. Kingda ka is short and intense but you just feel like your gliding really fast, not getting your head ripped. Also nitro is only a little intense during the helix the rest is focused on airtime

@Jacob-fx6gr

Not even close, El Toro is easily in the top 5 of most intense coasters on earth. Nitro and Ka aren't even close to as violent as El Toro. In fact, Nitro's airtime can be considered pretty weak, and Kindga Ka really only has the force of the launch and the wind in your face as the intense parts

@AirtimeThrills

Nitro has good floater airtime and a pretty intense helix. Ka has a crazy launch. But Toro has ejector hairtime that will try to rip your head off

Airtime Thrills alright thanks! Makes me feel a lot better about going on ka and nitro next time!

We don't have membership only detector lines or diamond elite seating at shows at DK. 🥺

Are the one-time benefits one-time for the life of the membership, or renewed again next year? If they’re for the life of the membership, is it better to cancel and make a new membership each year to get the one-time perks again?

i feel like it’s worth it for my husband and I the discount is good the free drinks is perfect the parking is even better and we constantly get friends deal so we take family members

Hey guys I think they should add a new membership let's call it Ultra Diamond Elite you can skip 3 Lines and also you get 75% of everything do you guys think is this a good idea

Sounds good but I just bought my Diamond Elite 😭😭😭

I have a Diamond membership and I always forget to reserve parking the day before… Oh and, btw, I do get flash pass upgrade and I also use my skip the line everytime I go.

My friend has the diamond pass and was wondering if you go with a friend and you get a skip the line ticket does it include your party too?
