Six Flags Entertainment Corporation (NYSE: FUN), the largest
amusement park operator in North America, today announced an
exciting lineup of park investments for 2025 that will immerse
guests in one-of-a-kind thrills and fun. The investments include
seven new roller coasters that promise to redefine the park
experience, along with an expanded roster of popular seasonal
events and a wide array of new food and beverage offerings.
Six Flags will also introduce an expanded All Park Passport
Add-On that gives Gold and Prestige Passholders and Members
unlimited admission and parking to all 42 of the company’s
amusement and water parks. The All Park Passport Add-On is now on
sale across all Six Flags parks at prices ranging from $65 to $125
depending on the Passholders’ Pass or Membership level and purchase
location. The All Park Passport Add-On is valid for the remainder
of the 2024 season at the legacy group of parks based on purchase
location. Beginning January 6, 2025, the All Park Passport Add-On
can be used at all combined Six Flags parks and water parks.
“Our capital plans for the year ahead reaffirm our commitment to
providing unparalleled thrills, immersive entertainment and
unforgettable memories to guests of all ages,” said Six Flags
President & CEO Richard A. Zimmerman. “Whether you’re a diehard
fan of record-breaking coasters and water slides, a food lover on
the prowl for unique and tasty treats, or a lifelong devotee of
over-the-top festivals and live entertainment, you’ll find
something to enjoy at our parks in 2025.”
Among the highlighted plans and developments for the 2025
operating season:
Six Flags Great America – Wrath of Rakshasa, from
roller coaster design experts at Bolliger & Mabillard, will be
unleashed in 2025, shattering multiple world records. Riders will
test their limits on the ride’s beyond-vertical, 171-foot drop, the
steepest of any dive coaster in the world. But the initial
96-degree drop is just the beginning as Wrath of Rakshasa reaches
speeds up to 67 mph, shattering a second world record with five
total inversions, the most of any dive coaster in the world.
Carowinds' Camp Snoopy will unveil two new
family-friendly attractions in 2025 as part of the largest
investment in family attractions in the park's history: a new
launch roller coaster and an interactive raft ride. These
additions, alongside splash play zones and a meet-and-greet
experience with Peanuts™ costume characters, offer more spots for
families to cool off and interact with Snoopy, Charlie Brown and
the entire Peanuts™ gang. The new attractions promise endless
adventures and fun for guests of all ages, making Camp Snoopy a
must-visit destination for families in 2025.
Canada’s Wonderland introduces another first of its kind
coaster experience with AlpenFury, the tallest, fastest and
longest launch coaster in Canada. When fire and ice collide inside
the iconic and mysterious Wonder Mountain, a force so fierce will
blast riders 164 feet vertical through the summit and into the sky.
Riders will experience one of the wildest coaster rides ever
created through nine mind-blowing inversions – the most for any
launch coaster in North America, at 71 mph, spanning 3,281 feet
across the park.
Six Flags New England – Quantum Accelerator, an
LSM propulsion, multi-launch roller coaster, is set to be New
England’s first straddle coaster. Guests will experience 11 moments
of “airtime” while riding side-by-side on comfortable coaster cars
designed as futuristic motor bikes. With a top speed of 45 mph,
this new ride will appeal to both novice and advanced coaster
fans.
Kings Dominion, central Virginia’s beloved amusement
park, is thrilled to announce the arrival of Rapterra as
part of the park’s 50th anniversary season in 2025. Standing at 145
feet tall and stretching 3,086 feet long, this incredible new
attraction is the world's tallest and longest launched wing
coaster, and promises an unforgettable experience filled with
heights, speed and exhilarating maneuvers for all park-goers.
Kings Island’s Soak City Water Park will debut new
ways to chill and first-of-its-kind thrills with the addition of
RiverRacers, the first and only dual-racing water coaster in
Ohio, sending thrill seekers down a three-story first drop, then
propelling them uphill through a mirrored race course of enclosed
and open tubes and 180-degree high-bank turns before hitting a
gravity-defying final straightaway drop to the finish line pool
below. For those who like to chill, seven new kids water slides and
kids splash lagoon swimmin’ hole will be featured in the
riverside-themed kids’ play area and parent oasis, Splash River
Junction.
Hurricane Harbor Los Angeles will undergo a major
transformation for its 30th anniversary season, marking a
substantial investment to the water park experience. This
comprehensive upgrade includes expanded shaded areas, seating,
cabanas, and a wider range of amenities to boost comfort and
convenience. The park’s ambiance will be revitalized with colorful
slide and structure refurbishments, added landscaping and upgraded
food and beverage options and locations for a more satisfying
dining experience. Every aspect of the water park will be touched,
ensuring an inviting environment to soak up the California sun.
Hurricane Harbor in Arlington, Texas, will unveil the
largest expansion in water park history, with the addition of a
vibrant coastal-themed area anchored by a massive
58,000-square-foot, multi-level interactive kids play structure
with 110 water features, seven water slides and a 1,000-gallon
Texas-sized tipping water bucket. An additional seven-water-slide
complex will include a mini-tornado water slide and mini wave
slide, allowing brave first-time riders to slide down and around to
a safe, soft mat landing area. A new self-play Splash Pad –
featuring two dozen water features, plus new family cabanas,
oversized umbrellas, junior-sized lounge furniture, refurbished
restrooms and signature restaurant renovation – will complete this
transformative new kids sprayground and parent oasis.
In addition to new rides and attractions, Six Flags will be
upgrading and expanding its food and beverage facilities across the
portfolio in 2025 highlighted by a wide variety of new signature
menu and beverage items. Capital investments will be focused on
improving the capabilities, technologies and efficiencies of the
parks’ food preparation and delivery systems, while creating more
comfortable and inviting locations where guests can dine.
Also in store for this year and next is the return of the
popular fall seasonal events including Fright Fest, Halloween
Haunt, and Tricks and Treats, building on Six Flags’ renowned
reputation as the ultimate Halloween destination across North
America. And as temperatures cool, WinterFest and Holiday in the
Park will return to participating parks, where millions of lights,
enchanting themed areas, live holiday entertainment, sweet and
savory treats, and a variety of additional activities bring out the
holiday spirit for the entire family. Plus, the best gift is the
one that keeps on giving. Season passes for 2025 are now on sale at
the lowest price of the season, making it the best time ever to get
in on the savings and unlimited fun this year and next.
“Making people happy and delighting our guests is what Six Flags
parks do best, and with 2025 season passes now on sale, we’re
tremendously excited about the year ahead,” said Zimmerman. “And
with the new All Park Passport, we've taken a significant step
toward bringing together our iconic collection of brands, ensuring
there's never been a better time to explore everything our parks
have to offer."
