Get into 42 theme parks for less than $200 with this new season pass
Just like gas and groceries, theme parks keep getting more expensive. We at TPG are always on the lookout for ways to help you save money when you visit a theme park, but even we couldn't have dreamt up a season pass that allows entry to dozens of theme parks for a full year for less than $200.
When Cedar Fair Entertainment Co. — parent company to parks like Knott's Berry Farm, Carowinds and Cedar Point — completed an $8 billion merger with Six Flags Entertainment Corp. on July 1, the pair created the largest portfolio of theme parks in North America.
The company now operates a combined 42 amusement and water parks from as far south as Mexico to as far north as Canada.
As part of this expansion, theme park fans will soon have unlimited access to all 42 parks for one low price with the All Park Passport. The All Park Passport is an add-on available to new and current passholders with the purchase of a 2025 Gold or Prestige season pass.
Guests who add the All Park Passport to the 2025 season pass for any of the legacy Cedar Fair parks can visit any other Cedar Fair park for the remainder of the 2024 season and the full 2025 season. Or, if you add the passport to a 2025 season pass for any legacy Six Flags park (including Six Flags Great Adventure and Six Flags Over Georgia), you can visit all legacy Six Flags parks for the rest of the 2024 season and all of the 2025 season.

Beginning Jan. 6, 2025, season pass holders with the All Park Passport can visit both legacy Cedar Fair and legacy Six Flags parks for the entirety of the 2025 season. That means you can visit all 42 parks for one low price.
The cost of a Gold- or Prestige-level season pass and the All Park Passport add-on varies by park. However, you can get a Gold pass (the cheaper of the two season passes) and the passport for less than $200 if you purchase now. Book before the price goes up in early September.
For example, a 2025 Gold pass for Knott's Berry Farm costs $125. This includes unlimited visits to Knott's Berry Farm and Knott's Soak City water park, plus select food and merchandise discounts. You can add the All Park Passport for $65 (bringing you to a total of $190) to visit all 42 parks.
If you upgrade to a Prestige pass, the annual pass costs $375, and the All Park Passport costs $99, for a total of $474.
The All Park Passport also enables you to use your Gold or Prestige season pass perks at any other eligible parks. The Prestige pass at Knott's, for instance, includes free parking, two free bring-a-friend tickets annually, one skip-the-line pass per visit, and the same food and merchandise discounts that come with the Gold pass. Exact perks and discounts vary by park but will apply regardless of which park you visit.
