Six Flags Sets New Policy for Regional Park Access, Gold Passes

Feb. 2, 2026

— Jeff Ward, Lehigh Valley News Briefs

Six Flags, the owner of Dorney Park, has set new policies for regional passes and a limited-time sale on Gold Passes.

From a company statement today:

2026 Gold Passes and Memberships Will Include New Regional Park Access

“Typically providing access for the cardholder’s local park only, Six Flags Gold season passes and memberships will include a significant enhancement in 2026. All Gold passes and memberships will include access to a designated group of parks within its geographic region, allowing guests to enjoy multiple destinations with one pass. The four pass regions include West, Texas, Midwest and East,” according to Six Flags.

I’m not a Dorney expert, but I am not sure that the website has been updated to reflect this yet.

The East region includes

— Six Flags New England & Hurricane Harbor, Springfield, Massachusetts, with a new ride: Quantum Accelerator, New England’s first launched straddle coaster

— Six Flags Great Escape & Hurricane Harbor, Lake George, New York

— Six Flags Great Adventure, Jackson, New Jersey

— Six Flags Wild Safari, Jackson, New Jersey

— Six Flags Hurricane Harbor New Jersey, Jackson

— Dorney Park & Wildwater Kingdom, South Whitehall

— Kings Dominion & Soak City, Doswell, Virginia

— Carowinds & Carolina Harbor, Charlotte, North Carolina.

— Six Flags Over Georgia & Hurricane Harbor, Atlanta

— Six Flags White Water — Marietta, Georgia

Details will be out soon about a free upgrade to a Gold season pass “when guests purchase at the price of a Silver pass during a limited-time spring promotion. This offer will roll out in February, with specific details available on each park’s website.”

“Six Flags will provide additional benefits for guests who have already purchased a 2026 Gold season pass or membership:

• Automatic regional park access when their region launches.
• Those who purchased an All-Park Passport will receive a free upgrade to the Prestige level on Feb. 27.”

Six Flags (NYSE:FUN) has been struggling with debt and has cited bad weather for weak financial results, since the 2024 combination of Six Flags and Cedar Fair, Dorney’s previous owner.

The closing share price Friday was $18.01, down from a 52-week high of $48.80.
