Tickets and Season Passes

Here you’ll find all the details about Six Flags over Texas tickets, season passes, the new Six Flags Plus program, and how the Flash Pass can nearly eliminate queue lines.

Admission and add-ons now use variable-pricing models depending on anticipated demand throughout the season, so we recommend visiting the official site to get the latest pricing and pre-purchase your tickets, passes, and more. Any pricing featured on this page may not be current or accurate!

Tickets

If you’re visiting the park for 1 day and know you won’t return or visit any other Six Flags park that year, a regular one-day ticket is your best admission option.

Six Flags tickets now have variable pricing, costing more during busy seasons and peak days of the week. Visit the official tickets page to view date-specific pricing and order tickets. Six Flags over Texas tickets for 2024 generally start at $39.99 and vary up to $59.99.

Whatever you do, don’t wait to buy tickets at the gate, where tickets can cost more than twice the online purchase price!

Season Passes

Season passes are one-time purchases that allow unlimited visits to Six Flags over Texas for that season*. Higher pass tiers offer better discounts, skip-the-line passes, admission to other Six Flags parks, and other perks.

*For 2024 the lowest-tier Gold Pass has blackout dates (mostly Saturdays during busy weeks).

Six Flags Plus

As a monthly membership option, Six Flags Plus provides unlimited access to all Six Flags parks, parking, and other perks for a monthly rate (around $5.99-8.99/month) that can be cancelled anytime after a minimum 12 month commitment.

2024 Season Pass Comparison

Six Flags over Texas currently offers 3 tiers of season passes. Sales frequently push the Platinum Pass to the cost of the Gold Pass, making it often obsolete (the park stopped offering Gold Passes altogether towards the end of 2023 before bringing them back for 2024).

Season pass availability and pricing varies depending on sales and the time of year, so the costs below are general and may not be accurate! As always, check the park’s official site for current pricing and specials.

Admission FAQs

What happened to Six Flags Memberships?

Memberships were a spin-off of Season Passes, which provided unlimited park access in exchange for an ongoing monthly fee. They were essentially subscriptions to the park that could be cancelled at any time after a minimum 12-month term.

Starting in early 2022, Six Flags stopped selling new memberships at certain parks (Six Flags over Texas being one of them) as the chain began implementing new admission pricing strategies. Guests with existing memberships entered the “legacy membership” program.

In mid 2023, Six Flags introduced the Six Flags Plus option — essentially a rebranded offering of the Six Flags Membership, with similar perks and pricing. It’s unclear at this time if legacy memberberships will be forced to transition to Six Flags Plus in the future.

What is Priority Entry?

At Six Flags over Texas, priority entry (included with the Diamond Pass) means there is a separate, dedicated pass-scanning line. The park has also been experimenting with 15-minute early entry into the park.

Can I visit other Six Flags parks with my pass?

Lower-tier season passes no longer include admission to other Six Flags parks. Only the Diamond Pass provides chain-wide park admission.

How much is admission for children?

Six Flags over Texas offers one level of general admission for all park guests ages 3 and up. Children 2 and under are admitted free.

What if I can't go the day I purchased a ticket for?

Tickets are actually good any day of the season they’re purchased in. If the day you decide to go has a higher admission cost than you purchased, you will have to pay the difference. If it’s cheaper, sorry, no refund.

Where can I find Six Flags over Texas discounts?

Discounts for Six Flags over Texas are hard to come by these days, with the park switching to its variable pricing model and eliminating most third party coupons and deals.

The park frequently runs season pass sales (such as a free upgrade from Gold to Platinum pass) which can be found on the park’s official site.

Speedy Parking

Six Flags over Texas introduced the Speedy Parking add-on in the Fall of 2023, featuring dedicated, automated lanes to enter the parking lot. After pre-registering the vehicle’s license plate, cars can theoretically enter the parking lot quicker by using the special lanes which automatically scan license plates and admit vehicles.

By the beginning of 2024, Six Flags over Texas had reconfigured the initial 2 ‘Speedy’ lanes and 4 general lanes to 4 Speedy lanes and 2 general lanes, causing significant confusion, backups, and complaints from park guests online. Emails sent out March 8, 2024 announced that Speedy Parking is now a free service with passes that include parking, Platinum or Diamond passes, Six Flags Plus members, and legacy members.

The Flash Pass

The Flash Pass is an electronic device from the British company accesso (formerly Lo-Q plc) that lets you virtually wait in ride lines while enjoying other park attractions. Purchased either at the Flash Pass reservation window in the entry plaza at the park or online, the Flash Pass allows “virtual queuing,” meaning users can ride other rides, enjoy a snack, or see a show instead of physically waiting in a line. In addition to virtual queueing, higher tiers of the Flash Pass also significantly reduce wait time.

There are a limited number of Flash Passes available each day so be sure to purchase it early if you plan on using one.

How the Flash Pass Works

Flash Pass users determine which ride they want to virtually queue for and select it from the Flash Pass. The Flash Pass will then display a timeframe, based on the length of the line, that the users can return to the ride and skip the line. Users can only wait in one virtual line at a time, but multiple rides can be scheduled back-to-back and each wait time begins when the previous one ends.

When riders return for their ride time, they can skip the bulk of the line and board the ride. Flash Pass users often join the main queue line near the station, meaning there is often still a short wait to ride. Riders can ride anytime after their appointment but cannot ride early. Users can also manually cancel rides on the Flash Pass device themselves.

The Flash Pass will automatically compensate wait times to account for ride closures due to inclement weather or mechanical issues and will display a message stating the updated ride time.

This is a general list of Flash Pass-enabled rides. Actual availability may vary depending on ride closures and eligibility changes. The current list of Flash Pass rides will show during purchase.

Flash Pass Types

Six Flags over Texas offers three tiers of Flash Passes, the choice of which can have a significant impact on how long you have to wait in the virtual queue.

*Prices are general base costs and can significantly vary throughout the year based on expected crowd levels and Flash Pass demand. Check official website for actual pricing on specific dates.

Is the Flash Pass Worth It?

So should you buy a Flash Pass on your next visit to Six Flags? Well, it depends. Obviously if the park is empty and wait times are non-existent, a Flash Pass is not going to provide any benefits. Even though they can be pre-purchased online, we recommend waiting until arriving at the park and getting a feel of the crowds before buying a Flash Pass. The exception is if you’re confident the park will be busy during your visit; for example, during a special event, concert, or holiday.

In terms of their value, Flash Passes are surely worth more for one-time visitors or out-of-towners who want to do as much as possible in their short trip, especially a trip that may have been constrained into being on a busy day.

Our take: only get the Flash Pass if you’ve seen the long lines or are fairly confident that the park will be crowded. And if you’re going to spend the money on a Flash Pass, why not spend a little more and get a Premium or Ultimate version so that your wait time is drastically reduced?
