CHARLOTTE, NC — Six Flags is offering an unlimited admission pass to all of its parks next year, including Carowinds, just one month after merging with Carowind’s parent company.
The all-park pass add-on means unlimited access and parking to all Six Flags’ 42 theme and water parks, starting Jan. 6, the company said.
For Carowinds park pass holders in the Charlotte area, the inclusive pass can be added to the Gold and Prestige season passes starting at $89 for the added access, according to the park’s website. A gold pass is $99 annually and a prestige pass is $260 annually, the park’s website shows.
Cedar Fair, Carowind’s former parent company, began offering an admission pass to all of its parks in 2024, Six Flags spokesman Gary Rhodes said.
Last month, Cedar Fair and Six Flags completed an $8 billion merger that will bring the theme park’s new corporate headquarters to Charlotte. Cedar Fair had owned and operated Carowinds since 2006 after purchasing it from Paramount for $1.2 billion.
Carowinds is a 400-acre theme park that straddles the North and South Carolina border in Charlotte and Fort Mill, South Carolina.
The All-Parks Pass helps bring together Six Flags and Cedar Fair’s parks, Six Flags President and CEO Richard Zimmerman said in a statement.
This month, Six Flags announced two new Carowinds Camp Snoopy attractions opening next year — a family-friendly roller coaster and an interactive raft ride.
Six Flags also said it plans to upgrade its food and beverage menus and facilities. It has not disclosed how much it will invest in those upgrades, and the new menu items will be announced next year, Rhodes said.
