Season Pass Question

Hey everyone, I will be purchasing a season pass for Six Flags St. Louis as soon as shnucks starts to sell them, and I was wondering what kind of coupons you get with the coupon book? Thanks for the help!

Old arrows might be rough, but they are the most gorgous rides to date.

Six Flags Season Passes have been on sale online for quite some time now. The coupon books have food, game and merchandise discounts as well as coupons to bring a friend for free and for 1/2 price on specific dates.

My coupon book for SFKK last year consisted of, among other things:

3 for the price of 2 skycoaster flight, 15% discount on food, other various food coupons, merchandise and midway game discounts, 2 for the price of 1 Turbo Bungy....that's the bulk of it. I wish they included a Slingshot coupon, as it's pretty hefty to ride without one.

Edit: Oh yes, quite a few coupons to bring a friend free on a specified date, or half price with about a week-long window.

do you know how many coupons for bring a friend for freee there are?

I think only about 3-4 for the free entry, but there were another 3-4 for half-priced entry. Keep in mind that each free entry coupon has only one date it can be used on.

WOW, only one date, i thought it would give you a range of dates, that kinda stinks, is it the same for the other coupons?

The half price coupons have a week that they are good for, i.e "Bring a Friend for Half Price, good May 4-10"

The food/merchandise coupons and ride coupons are good any day that the park is open.

I'm trying to decide whether to buy a Six Flags season's pass now as I'm not sure I'll make it to to anywhere but SFOG. I will be driving by SFKK (but unsure if I'll ride) and could at least buy the pass there, but I may be before going to SFOG first anyway, so I'd need to order it for there, correct? You must visit the park you order it for, before any other parks, right?
Anyway, the SFKK season's passes are $46.99 until 4/12/03, and SFOG's are $49.99 (only $8 more than 1 day ticket) until 4/13/03. My question is how much are they after that if I decide to wait and buy it at the park later, instead of ordering it now?

For Marine World they gave us a nifty calendar with coupons: 4 for bring a friend for free, and about 10 for bring a friend for half off. There were also coupons for Magic mountain, free elephant rides and Mother's/Father's Day.

Raptor Pilot, I'm not sure if you're talking about the SFoG or SFKK season passes, but I know that passes at SFKK go up $10 to $56.99 after tomorrow (4/12).

Thanks, Legend_n_Raven. Actually I was wondering about both.
Anyone know about SFOG?

I also have a season pass question. I recently bought my pass, but have not yet proccessed it. My friend told me that it was only valid for one of 3 "sessions", but I thought the pass was valid all year. Could someone please clear this up for me? Thanks in advance.

Go Dawgs! Sic 'em! WOOF WOOF WOOF WOOF WOOF!

I tried several times last night (4/12) to order a pass online through sixflags.com, but their site was too slow and it wouldn't go through. Wonder if they'd still honor the lower price since their servers obviously couldn't handle the load?
However it said shipping was gonna be $8. Even if you don't get the lower price they had, if it's now $10 more, but you buy it at the park, won't it only be $2 more since you don't pay shipping, or do they tack on tax?

If it has already gone up, it's not going up any more. My suggestion would be to wait and just get one at the park gate.

--Ryan

Actually SFKK passes only went up $3 to $49.99 online. Is that what they are at the gate?
Do they add any fees at the gate?

Also are they cheaper at grocery stores?

Still wondering:
Are SFKK passes $49.99 at the gate, like they are when purchased online? The website says $59.99 at the gate but I've heard $49.99.
Are they $49.99 at Kroger?

According to the local commercials, they are $49.99 at Kroger. At the gate I would expect them to be $59.99 at the highest.

--Ryan

It's my understanding that gate pricing is usually higher than online and or local grocery store pricing. SFKK web site states that current pricing is at $49.99 (no tax) online. This isn't neccessarily the most attractive offer because it requires some wait and then additional shipping costs.

Gate price is $59.99(no tax).

In my opinion, Kroger stores are the best all around at $49.99(no tax).

I have a q? about SFMM book. Does anyone know if the bring a friend for free are only good on certain dates there? I really really need to know this asap!!

SFDL Guy - I just purchased my season pass last week from Schnucks in central Illinois (for SFStL) for $50.67. The price might be a little more in your area, but check with your store.

When you get your pass processed, you will get a calendar with their operating days and coupons on the bottom. They are various coupons, friends free days, friends 1/2 off, some game and food stuff. Unfornately, it was calendar sized and I misplaced it somewhere in the park (it can't fit in a pocket).

Season pass processing for SFStL is next to Xcalibur (the new ride). I had a little trouble and some staff members did not quite know. Not being at the park in over 5-6 years did not help.

Have a good time at SFStL.
