Cedar Fair and Six Flags ARE merging
The new company, which will be called Six Flags, will feature a combined 27 amusement parks, 15 water parks and nine resorts across 17 states, Canada and Mexico. A press statement called the transaction a “merger of equals.”
Richard Zimmerman becomes CEO and the majority of the company will be half and half. The new company will use FUN but will retain the Six Flags name.

I’m wondering if the legacy Six Flags memberships will gain Cedar Fair access or if they’ll be trying to get rid of those in favor of a new pricing structure. I’m still maintaining a $7/month all park membership from a few years ago and it seems too good to be true to get all Cedar Fair parks as well. I already bought a 2024 Cedar Fair pass, so I’m interested to see how this plays out moving forward.
I wouldn't be surprised if those legacy plans go away completely. It's almost like their perfect excuse to dump them.
I haven't renewed my Cedar Fair pass but I did get a Siz Flags pass already for 2024..... I think I may hold off on renewing my CF one for a bit haha.
I’m not expecting any changes for the 2024 season since pass sales are well underway and the merger isn’t finalized until sometime next year. Then again, Six Flags has no shame completely redoing pass structure multiple times a year. Maybe Cedar Fair will bring some sanity there lol
I needed to buy a 2024 pass anyways to cover visits to Knott’s Berry Farm and Carowinds this month. Remainder of 2023 and all of 2024 was definitely worth buying at the introductory price. I definitely didn’t predict a Six Flags - Cedar Fair merger during my pass-purchasing process.
I have a current 2023 pass for CF so that's the main reason I'm in no hurry.... Since KD killed year round operations that gives me clear until spring until I'd have a need for a CF 2024 pass.
