Six Flags Parking Information

Parking at Six Flags can be quite expensive, with rates varying by location. For instance, regular parking at Hurricane Harbor in New Jersey is $45, while preferred parking costs $60 [4:2]. In Texas, general parking costs around $40 [1:5]. Some users suggest purchasing a season pass, such as the platinum pass, which includes parking and can save money over multiple visits [1:5].

Alternative Parking Solutions

Finding alternative parking options near Six Flags can be challenging. Suggestions like parking at nearby locations such as Costco are generally not recommended due to the distance involved [3:1][3:2]. Globe Life Field parking was considered but found to be similarly priced when factoring in Uber/Lyft rides [1:3]. Ultimately, many users recommend using the official Six Flags parking for convenience and safety [3:4].

Reservations and Access

For those with memberships or pre-purchased tickets, parking reservations may be necessary. These can typically be made through the Six Flags website's pass holder portal [2:1]. When picking up tickets on the day of your visit, proof of purchase (such as an email confirmation with a barcode) is required for parking access [5:2][5:3]. Tickets can also be added to the Six Flags app for easy scanning at the entrance [5:1].

General Parking Experience

Despite concerns about congestion, several users report that parking at Six Flags is manageable, especially if you arrive early [1:4][3:5]. The distance from the parking lot to the park entrance is relatively short compared to the walking you'll do inside the park [1:2]. On less busy days, such as weekdays, parking tends to be more straightforward [3:3].

ORIGINAL POST

Paying $40 to park in a congested parking lot sounds like a nightmare. Does anyone know of free/low cost parking close by I can get an uber from to six flags? Thanks!

The parking isn't far. Even if you have to park at the far end of the lot, it's maybe 0.25 miles from the gate. It's a fraction of the distance you'll walk inside the park. No big deal.

I was more referring to some of the older posts I was reading about how busy/traffic there is if you want to arrive near opening. I already will have a blown fuse after driving through DFW from ETx.

It is not that busy around opening. Most traffic on 360/30 is around 8-9 am and 5-6 pm. The only thing that sucks is they don’t open the road to get to the park until like 15-30 mins before and it blocks traffic on this one road, but it’s still probably only 10 mins to get in if you show up early.

I tried to figure this out recently but couldn't find a good alternative. Globe Life Field parking costs $15-25 depending on the lot, so adding up the cost of two Uber/Lyft trips puts you right back at $40 or so.

Yeah I ended up buying the platinum season pass thats on sale for $80 that has parking included and then buying my wifes ticket with the discount from the season pass. That way saved $10 and, in the future, we'll just have to pay her ticket.

For those in the future that might have googled this thread: Prices are currently $35/general admission, gen parking is $40, a platinum pass currently is on sale for the same price as gold at $80. Its unlimited access for 2023, free parking, and has 2 discounted friend tickets @ $20.

Where do I reserve parking online?

Posted by IncuriousCat · in r/sixflags · 5 years ago

Hi. I have a diamond membership and last year I had to reserve parking in order to park in the lot at both SFOT and Hurricane Harbor. I made reservations to enter the park for HH for Wednesday, but I am unable to find where to make the parking reservation. I have looked on the desktop website, mobile version, and app. Did I miss it? Thanks!

Six Flags Parking Questions

Posted by PlentyOfChoices · in r/vallejo · 1 year ago

Hello! I know there have been many questions about six flags on this subreddit and you guys are probably sick of them, but I would appreciate it if somebody can answer these:

Are the fairgrounds across the street a good place to park? Is it safe parking and is it usually crowded there? I’m looking to avoid using the Sox Flags parking if possible.
People have said the Costco parking is good but Google maps says it’s an hour walk from the Costco to the six flags front gate?

I plan on going this week on a weekday (Thursday) and will be out of state for the foreseeable future, so a season pass isn’t as appealing. Thanks!

$45 for regular parking, $60 for preferred parking. (Preferred is not really needed in my opinion; Hurricane Harbor NJ's lot isn't a massive walk.)

Can someone please let me know how parking works at six flags? Parking is included with my ticket, however, I won't have my ticket in advance - I am picking it up the day I am going to the park (it's a work trip). In order to get into the parking lot do I need to have my ticket, or is it pay as you leave?

You will need proof of ticket purchase. That could come as an email confirmation and have a bar code for the front booth attendant to scan. Without any bar code scanning image, you will be force to pay the parking fee which is going to be outrageous.

How is the parking lot layout for Six Flags Over Texas?

Posted by beardko · in r/sixflags · 4 years ago

I've been trying to research online and through this subreddit, but wasn't able to find an answer. I was thinking of getting the diamond membership for the preferred parking, but I know that all parks vary when it comes to the parking lot layout. Is general parking a mile away from the theme park and would preferred parking be a huge plus particularly for Six Flags Over Texas?

It’s not terribly far, usually only a few minutes walk. Preferred parking is right by the front gate, and right in front of the parking payment booths so it could save you a little bit of time

This is what I was looking for! I know some Six Flags require a mile walk in some hilly terrain. Does it also look like preferred parking can exit the park faster too?

The parking lot is pretty flat for the most part, so I wouldn’t worry about that, but there is basically no shade along the path.

As far as exiting, it might actually take a bit longer to leave from the preferred parking. Preferred is right by the entrance to the parking lot, exits are around the middle and end of the lot

Six Flags New England preferred parking for Diamond Elite?

Posted by sweetsformysweets · in r/sixflags · 3 years ago

Hello all! I just spent the last hour trying to figure out how to reserve a parking spot. The reservation page only has a link to "Plan Your Visit" under Preferred Parking which leads me to the generic park information page. On the "How to Make Preferred Parking Reservations" video, it shows a page where there are benefits tabs on the left of the screen but I can't even get to that page. Am I missing something here? I'm so frustrated with this website...

The last time I went (May 20, 2024), the parking lot was under construction, but the solar panels were already installed.

An old post https://www.reddit.com/r/SixFlagsMagicMountain/comments/1d1wou7/new_ev_parking_spaces_at_sfmm/ by u/sdmichael lists this permit: https://epicla.lacounty.gov/energov_prod/SelfService/#/permit/144a3c67-dd85-41b6-ba2d-31373a646f8b

From that site, it seems the spaces are STILL not ready, and a year has now passed. I am wondering if the permit just has not been updated on the website.

Can anyone confirm? Are there now about 35 electric vehicle parking stalls? Or not?

4 upvotes on reddit

runnyyolkpigeon · 4 months ago

It looks like the installation is stalled.

Volta is listed as the original contracted CPO, but since have gone out of business. So that likely stuck a wrench in the process.

The initial permit plans were also rejected during review, so the park has to revise and resubmit.

Looks like the hold up is finding a new CPO for the dispensers and other charging site equipment.

There are 4 stations by the grassy area in the middle of the parking lot, of which 3 are usually functional. You have to show up EARLY (like before the park opens) to get one of these spots... or very lucky if you find a spot open when one of the early birds leaves.

Six Flags Preferred Parking

Does Great Adventure and New England not have preferred parking reservations?? Magic mountain and Discovery Kingdom makes diamond members reserve prior. For Great adventure and many others it's grayed out on the app and says "first come first serve". Anyone have any tips?

I was there on Sunday and every single coaster was open. Granted, some went down and came back up sporadically. But at some point during the day, every coaster in the park was operating for an extended amount of time. Ka is back to full operations for the most part (still goes up and down throughout the day but that’s just the nature of that ride), El Toro is running normally, etc.

PROTIP (you may already know this): in the six flags app, select great adventure then scroll down to where you can add flash pass. Click on the flash pass button and it will open a live-updating list of rides and their status/current wait times even if you don’t have a flash pass. Extremely helpful.

Thursday expect more ride closers than Friday. Thursdays hours I believe are from 11AM to 8PM and Fridays I think are 10:30AM to 10PM. Fridays are more like weekends compared to Mon-Thurs. If anything I recommend going to Hurricane Harbor and SFGA on Thursay. Hurricane Harbor in the earlier part of the day. Then GA later because more rides open later in the day but the on Friday just GA day and maybe Wild Safari.

Great Adventure initially said you had to when I purchased my pass last year but now you just scan your phone which says what level your pass is and they give you (or you ask for) the piece of paper that gets you into the preferred parking lot. We were just at SF Great America and it had to be reserved the day before so we didn’t have it one day and reserved for the next.

Could be parking attendants are already being sent to Epic for training and working previews. Mobile ordering has been down for days at the Three Broomsticks and only one register open for the entire restaurant. TM there said it was due to short staffing. Seuss bakery is only receiving baked items every few days and now half the plates have fudge or marshmallows to hide what is missing. Trash cans are overflowing and I never see first aid walking around like I used to.

Seems TMs are being pulled over to Epic without being replaced at the main parks first.

Six Flags parking information

Key Considerations for Six Flags Parking:

Parking Options:
- General Parking: Usually the most affordable option, but it can fill up quickly during peak times.
- Preferred Parking: Closer to the park entrance, typically at a higher cost.
- VIP Parking: Offers the closest access to the entrance, often the most expensive.
Cost:
- General parking fees typically range from $25 to $40, depending on the park and the day of the week. Preferred and VIP parking can be significantly more.
Payment Methods:
- Most parks accept credit/debit cards and cash. Some parks may offer online pre-purchase options for parking, which can save time.
Parking Passes:
- Consider purchasing a season parking pass if you plan to visit multiple times. This can save you money in the long run.
Arrival Time:
- Arriving early can help secure a good parking spot, especially during busy seasons or special events.
Accessibility:
- Most Six Flags parks offer accessible parking spaces for guests with disabilities. It's advisable to arrive early to ensure availability.

Recommendation: Check the specific Six Flags park website for the latest parking information, including prices and any special promotions. This will help you plan your visit effectively and avoid any surprises on the day of your trip.
