A fun place if you willing to be very patient. Wait times for rides can be anywhere from 5-10 minutes all the way to literal hours depending on the time of year you visit.

If you visit during the typical times (spring break, summer, October Fright Fest, or Holiday fest in December) expect hour long wait times. Not just rides. Even for food.

I can't blame the staff at six flags. They're doing what they can. It's mostly 20-somethings or teenagers working a temp job just for some cash in their pocket. Be nice to them. They can't make the wait any shorter. Even if you buy the flash pass, you can still expect hour long wait times during high traffic times.

If you go at lower traffic times like February or November, you'll have a much nicer time. I just went in November and before 3pm, my average wait time was maybe 15-20 minutes.

It's a shame a lot of rides and games are empty or not working. But hopefully those come back soon.

My biggest complaint is the entry process. Why is six flags forcing use of PERSONAL PHONES to scan tickets? It makes for a mind-numbingly slow process, given that every employee has a different phone with a different OS and varying capabilities. Putting the burden on the employees rather than fixing the ticket scanners at the turnstiles is ridiculous. Give them dedicated scanning devices or fix the damn scanners. If you come at the wrong time, you could possibly wait just as long to get IN the park as you will to wait for your first ride.

Aside from that. I'm definitely will come here again because I love roller coasters but the price hikes won't make that any easier lol.

For their sake, I hope six flags corporate pays these kids more. They should be making $16/hr at the minimum.

I went a while ago but I remember there was no line in any games. It was so quick to go from one ride to another that I got sick and had to leave. The park is great, but I compare it to Magic mountain since I've been there so many times and that one is so much better.

I had so much fun. Was only able to get on 3 rides though. Lines were too long. But other than that. Amazing time.

Had a very very bad experience with them. I’d say just be mindful if you are going to sign up with anything with them! Thank you for NOT communicating with me six flags.

Warning the area around the park. Restaurant and hotels are not in a great location. Our car was broken into at Alppelbes. Enjoy the park but leave town. Lots of vehicles broken glass all over.

Six Flags is great but make sure you check the weather conditions for the day you plan on going.

Employees like to argue. Staff ENJOYS saying “NO” to customers. Very disappointing experience. Worst Six Flags Park. Also, the time I went half of the rides were out of service. Frustrating. 0/10

All the rides were fun. 2 of our list broke down and we had to wait but all together it was a great day.

I drove out of state to six flags after purchasing 5 seasonal membership passes for my family. The website had the haunted house/ fright fest attached to the seasonal pass purchase as a unit. I bought a total of 5. When I arrived after driving for several hours I was denied entry into the theme park and was informed that I did not purchase the correct tickets. I showed my printed tickets to the associate and she informed me that my tickets were not valid for entry into the park. She also said that my purchase was non transferable and non refundable. My family and I walked away disappointed. I am out of money for unredeemed tickets that I purchased but was denied entry for. My time and money was wasted. Horrible company who decieve buyers online deliberately to gain as much profit as possible. Never again!

So much potential, poor delivery. Too many of the rides were not operational and others broke down while we waited. (Batman, Wonder Woman, Joker, Kong, Flash, Big Swings all down at same time. Yikes.) A number of rides for younger kids, but spread out all over the park, as well as weird rules where older kids could only ride some if they were with someone smaller.

I was there for Fright Fest. In five hours I was able to go on two rides (Batman and Medusa), and go into two haunted houses (CarnEvil, being one). Both rides were really exciting. The haunted houses were very cool. But at the end of the night, I was upset with the time spent waiting in lines and the unpreparedness of the CarnEvil haunted house line. I expected more scary attractions throughout the park for the price of admission, and the haunted houses were extra.

Super long lines. I do not recommend going on a holiday weekend. The entry time was short but the lines for the rides and food were a min of 2 hours. Ridiculous.

Where do I start. First of all we bought tickets at one price 2 weeks ago and now there cheaper. In the park half the rides and attractions are not operating. Half the restaurant for the dining pass are closed and I’ve been in line over 30 minutes. 3 of the 8 windows are open. If they’re gonna provide subpar service I should pay less. Next time I’ll go to great America

Waste of time and money. I read reviews of some rides being closed in the past, but not 90 percent of the park. Batman, Medusa and Joker were only rides open. Six Flags Discovery Kingdom is false advertising and the only way to get a hold of someone is to leave a comment and we will see if they get back to me.

3/4 of the park is closed as it is understaffed. Still charging the same rate. And even animal exhibits are closed. We kept asking ourselves what the point of coming here was. Rides are awesome. When they actually run. 40 minute wait to get a few drinks. Save yourself the effort and come when they are fully staffed again. You can download the app to see which rides are running before you make the effort to come out.

Half of the rides were not working, their shows are about 10 minutes long, and several shops and locations are no longer open.
