Six Flags America

Does anyone know if there is any discounts,or if there is a reduced rate if you enter the park after a certain time?

Any good hotels in the area?

Will be there this Wed.

Thanks...

I can't think of any SF park that offers an evening discount rate. If they did offer such a ticket it would be on the park's website. Have you checked there?
Check the Wendies out down the road from the park. They had discount coupons last year. Have a good trip!

Thanks,

I went to Great America last week and was able to get a discount ticket at Osco in Waukegen which is only about 5 or 10 mins away. I'm not sure if I spelled the name of that town right it's right outside Gurnee thow.
Mamoosh that's very true. My buddy got burned like that at SFOG. He dropped us off at the park, visited some nearby relatives then got slightly lost on his way back to the park. He paid full price for an hour and a half, so for that price he got one ride on Acrophobia and one ride on S:UF where we got stuck for 45 minutes on the brakerun. Why SF doesn't offer a "twilight" price is beyond me.

Really? Gadv offers a discounted admission after 4 or 5pm. I thought it would be standard at most parks.

I don't doubt what you say is true, however the twilight discount is not mentioned on SFGAdv's website.

Yeah, but remember, this is SF website! Everything is wrong or not listed! lol

I'm 100% positive on Gadv. It's a little more than half price after 4-5pm. $29.99 maybe? Can't say for other parks.

If you buy a one day ticket, you can twicket your ticket for a second day. If your looking for discount coupons, the park's main number is (301)249-1500 I'm not sure where their offering them at this year. Moosh could be right, I saw discount coupons at Wendy's in Williams Grove, PA for Great Adventure. Coke products may have a coupon on the back of them as well. I'm not completely sure but I believe I saw one day tickets on sale at Safeway grocery stores. There usually in the checkout lanes.

Hotel accomodations, I like Hampton Inn and there is one in Bowie, MD as well as a Comfort Suites. There is a Marriott hotel in Greenbelt and a Holiday Inn in College Park. Most of these hotels are a 20 minute drive from the park. Annapolis has all sorts of options and no further than 30 minutes from the park. Your best bet is to stay north and east of the park. The other hotels are close to the beltway and once you go inside the beltway you might experience a differnet kind of thrill ride, if you follow me.

A day at the park is what you make it!

I called SFGAdv...they do not mention a twilight ticket on their recording either. Not on the website. Not on the recording. Why bother offering such a ticket if you're not promoting it?

Mr. X...care to show proof?

According to the coupon on the tray liner at Burger King yesterday you can get 50% off after 4pm. The same coupon was also good for $6 off on weekdays and $4 off on weekends I believe. There was a line to enter how many people were in the party, in case you have more than one person in your crew. I've already managed to misplace the coupon, so the discounts might be off. The closest BK I know of to the park is located off of rt. 301 at Waugh Chapel heading towards Baltimore. It's located in a big town/strip center and is really obvious.

As to some of your other questions, there is a hotel down the street on Central Ave. and 495 that looks nice, and there is another nice looking hotel on rt. 301 and rt. 50, which is right near the park in Bowie. I can't vouch for either since I've never stayed in them, but both look to be corporate level hotels. *** Edited 8/1/2005 11:16:01 PM UTC by Intamin Fan***

Mamoosh, maybe I was wrong. They definitely used to do that 1/2 price offer after 5pm even without a coupon. (and they never advertised it then either) But maybe now it's only with the coupon. (which you can find at every single store and on every single product within 100 miles of the park :P )

It's been a long time since I've paid admission price or was with somebody that did, so perhaps my info was outdated.

No, it makes sense that its a coupon-only deal. That would explain why the park is not promoting it. You're not crazy ;)
Marine World use to have discounted admission after 4pm, but that changed within the last few years.
Thanks all for the info!

Never been to this park,going to be in the area,figured I'd stop there and see how it is.

i thought moosh was being sarcastic... I know SFDL has discounts after 5 PM.

That may be so but SFDL does not advertise it on their website. I'd be willing to bet if I called the park they don't mention it on their info phone line either.

Is this after 5pm discount available at the ticket windows for all to take advantage of or do you need a coupon?

The half off discount ticket at Burger King is your best bet if you're looking for an evening discount. I live about an hour and 15 minutes from SFA and even the BK up here has the discount coupons, so I'd say that pretty much any BK in the Balto/Wash area should have the coupons (either on the tray liner or a seperate coupon somewhere at the front counter. Safeway grocery stores also have a discounted price, and the advantage of Safeway is that you buy the actual ticket so you don't have to wait in line at the ticket booth (not that there would even be a line at the ticket booths on a Wednesday evening).

Best of Luck either way!


If you can't stand the heights, get out of the line.

Both the Burger King discounts and the Safeway tickets are mentioned in the email I just recieved, although the Burger King discount is only mentioned in name and logo. I'm presuming that they want you to go to your local BK first and eat the fattening food. Here's another resource for hotels taken directly from the SFA website www.mdlodging.org/sixflags/ gives you a nice choice of hotels and motels to pick from. *** Edited 8/2/2005 5:51:05 PM UTC by Intamin Fan***
I've also been getting coke cans that have a discount listed. I don't remember how much. Sounds like Burger King may be a better deal.
