This MVP access permits admission to attractions across the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, including various theme parks like Knott's Berry Farm in Buena Park and Six Flags Magic Mountain in Valencia, along with California's Great America in Santa Clara and Six Flags Discovery Kingdom in Vallejo.

Purchasers of a 2026 Gold Pass will receive one bonus 2025 bring-a-friend-for-free ticket, while 2026 Prestige Pass purchases come with two bonus 2025 bring-a-friend-for-free tickets. 

These bring-a-friend tickets are valid through the end of the 2025 season at the park where the pass is purchased.

The backstory:

The pass offer, presented by the Six Flags Entertainment Corporation, spotlights the first anniversary of the merger between Six Flags Entertainment Corporation and Cedar Fair Entertainment Company. Knott's Berry Farm is part of the Cedar Fair family of parks.

The combined company, worth more than $3.5 billion, will boast 27 amusement parks, 15 water parks and nine resort properties in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. It will also have entertainment partnerships and a portfolio of intellectual property including Looney Tunes, DC Comics and Peanuts.

Amusement parks have seen an uptick in revenue but have struggled to raise attendance since the pandemic, even as other entertainment sectors have bounced back. A tie-up between two huge players is expected to at least lower costs.

Cedar Fair reported an attendance of 12.4 million guests in its third quarter, a 1% increase from a year earlier. Six Flags announced a 16% rise in its third-quarter attendance, which totaled 9.3 million guests.

But amusement parks, including Six Flags, have struggled to get people through the gates, said James Hardiman at Citi Investment Research.

Six Flags and Cedar Fair, which have little geographical overlap, anticipate $120 million in cost savings within two years of closing the deal.

Once the deal closes, the combined company will operate under the name Six Flags and trade under the ticker symbol "FUN" on the New York Stock Exchange.
