Yeah, my boat's on Flash, Shazam, or Wonder Woman (Flash would be my call as he has Flashpoint next year).This looks like the Flash to me. All we need are the dark red supports.
Something like this, but in reverse. They probably saved on paint!The Flash Pass thing really isn't an issue as The Flash: Vertical Velocity at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom is a major attraction.

I thought the same thing when Great Adventure announced theirs, but Six Flags is still trying to keep costs down on new attractions and they really aren't worried about the capacity since longer lines sell more Flash Passes.Really strange that these raptor models keep being bought for bigger parks, i wouldve expected to see a trex model go to magic mountain of all places but hey its still exciting
Also, the T-Rex model isn't available...I thought the same thing when Great Adventure announced theirs, but Six Flags is still trying to keep costs down on new attractions and they really aren't worried about the capacity since longer lines sell more Flash Passes.
SoCal theme parks are greatly understaffed and demand is arguably the highest that it has ever been, so they have no reason to give away free tickets at a time like this. I haven't been to Magic Mountain since reopening, but I have been to USH, Knott's, and DLR. USH is the only one that didn't feel like a total mess, but that might have been because I went on a night with very low crowds.1) Question when are AP's getting Free days for Friends again? Literally the best benefit and its been missing for months
2) Went to the parks and even Flash passes are becoming useless on some rides Ninja had a line for Flash passes...NINJA!!! They have really over sold those things and the parks are crazy busy and they still aren't fully staffed...I truly don't get theme parks right now. Also the food lines are a joke and the app at some places doesn't even help...sometimes it works but I lost a snack because you had to get in a line to confirm your phone order....its just a mess right now
Six Flags Great Escape in NY announced that they're closing on Tuesdays and Wednesdays for the rest of the season because of staffing shortages. Kings Dominion closed Mondays and Tuesdays for most of June and delayed the opening of their water park for a month because of staffing. They're trying to meet the crushing demand as best they can with what they've got. It's the same all across the hospitality and travel industries right now.1) Question when are AP's getting Free days for Friends again? Literally the best benefit and its been missing for months

But its one and done?As I understand it, SFMM no longer does bring a friend free days anymore, because a free friend ticket is already embedded in most season passes which can be used anytime.
They aren't trying that hard, its been months. People aren't wanting to work for you then YOUR company is the issue, are you not paying enough? Not enough benefits? Does the job suck and you do nothing to make it better?Six Flags Great Escape in NY announced that they're closing on Tuesdays and Wednesdays for the rest of the season because of staffing shortages.

lolMM does not need to give out any free tickets right now. They are packed everyday. Prior to the closure last year, it was rare that they went into the overflow lots on weekdays. They now go into the overflow lots everyday. But look how many employees have the orange name tags (meaning they are under 18). You got to think most of them are going back to school in a few weeks. The Hart District (high schools) start on August 10. Beginning the 16th, the park starts closing at 6pm on weekdays as does HH. In addition, HH closes on weekdays beginning August 30.
Well, there is a shortage of people willing to work. That’s probably a significant factor of why they have short hours.lol
Insane the parks have never been this crowded and they plan on closing at 6. Who ever runs Six Flags needs to be fired, this is insane.
Hire more people and let that park stay open until January until 8-9 PM if the crowds allow it
I keep hearing this, maybe you pay them more and or make the job suck less?Well, there is a shortage of people willing to work. That’s probably a significant factor of why they have short hours.
I paid for my AP through Covid, because I like the park. But now they are reopen andThey should probably just close the park for another year. Maybe that will make people happy again.
