2011 season passes are now on sale at the great esacpe. a single season pass is $79.99. they also have a promotion that if you buy a season pass four pack at $69.99 each, you get season parking for free (offer expires on halloween & passes must be processed). i am going to the park tomorrow to see if you can upgrade your one day admission to next years pass. i find 79.99 for a pass to tge is a ripoff...unless we get a new unique ride/coaster. you can click here to learn more about next years pass: http://www.sixflags.com/greatescape/tickets/seasonpass.aspx

do what I do, purchase it when you visit another SF park (if they offer a cheaper pass), and like sixflagsman said, just renew it.

Great Escape will always be a good option for me even if its 79.99$...

The one at La Ronde is around 85$ and the parking sticker is 75$.

Got mine and my GF's for $30 each last year during Holiday in the Park. Went twice and used our Bring a Friend for $9.95 and then upgraded with the $19.95 special they had going on. Got two passes and the parking pass for $95

:P

Hope to do it during Fright Fest this year, if they have the discount again. I think it was $29.95 to upgrade last Fright Fest.

the great escape is such a joke. my idea would be (and this is just a thought) that they should close the entire park and sell the land and move the park to a bigger and better place and retheme everything, make the pathways wider everywhere, make the path design more tolerable, REBRAND the park, use all the same rides, and get a few more bigger and better rides. thats just my idea of what they should do........psh yeah right...at the rate their going at, well be lucky to see a new tree plated in the park.

actually they did pant little fruit trees that are in that little space by the comet. anyways, i have now found out that a 2011 season parking pass is only vaild at the park you buy it from unlike the past few years when it would work at every park.

about the tree wasnt meant to be taken literally...but anyway i think thats dumb about the parking pass. i visit sfne every year once or twice and now i may not do that anymore because i am not going to spend extra money to park. even if it is only 10 or 20 dollars, thats 10 or 20 dollars that i dont have in my pocket for inside the park.

la ronde, and magic mountain now have released their season pass prices.

SFMM: 54.00-125.00

now la ronde does somthing a little interresting. they have different season passes depending on your height or age and prices would increase $10 as the year goes on.

season pass (54"+) 54.99
season pass (-54") 32.50
season pass (60+) 32.50

I have been hearing this a lot. One reason why when I had a season pass I visited TGE so much was that it at the time had free parking. made the 3 hours of traveling more worth the costs associated with it.

I do think this is going to hurt them more then it helps.
