Six Flags Entertainment Corporation, the largest amusement park operator in North America, announced a lineup of park investments for 2025. The investments include seven new roller coasters, along with an expanded roster of seasonal events and a wide array of new food and beverage offerings.
Six Flags will also introduce an expanded All Park Passport Add-On that gives Gold and Prestige Passholders and Members unlimited admission and parking to all 42 of the company’s amusement and water parks. The All Park Passport Add-On is now on sale across all Six Flags parks at prices ranging from $65 to $125 depending on the Passholders’ Pass or Membership level and purchase location. The All Park Passport Add-On is valid for the remainder of the 2024 season at the legacy group of parks based on purchase location. Beginning January 6, 2025, the All Park Passport Add-On can be used at all combined Six Flags parks and waterparks.
“Our capital plans for the year ahead reaffirm our commitment to providing unparalleled thrills, immersive entertainment and unforgettable memories to guests of all ages,” said Six Flags President & CEO Richard A. Zimmerman. “Whether you’re a diehard fan of record-breaking coasters and water slides, a food lover on the prowl for unique and tasty treats, or a lifelong devotee of over-the-top festivals and live entertainment, you’ll find something to enjoy at our parks in 2025.”
Among the highlighted plans and developments for the 2025 operating season:
- Six Flags Great America – Wrath of Rakshasa from roller coaster design experts at Bolliger & Mabillard will be unleashed in 2025. Riders will test their limits on the ride’s beyond-vertical, 171-foot drop. But the initial 96-degree drop is just the beginning as Wrath of Rakshasa reaches speeds up to 67 mph with five total inversions.
- Carowinds’ Camp Snoopy will unveil two new family-friendly attractions in 2025 as part of the largest investment in family attractions in the park’s history: a new launch roller coaster and an interactive raft ride. These additions, alongside splash play zones and a meet-and-greet experience with Peanuts™ costume characters, offer more spots for families to cool off and interact with Snoopy, Charlie Brown and the entire Peanuts™ gang. The new attractions promise endless adventures and fun for guests of all ages, making Camp Snoopy a must-visit destination for families in 2025.
- Canada’s Wonderland introduces a new launch coaster experience with AlpenFury. When fire and ice collide inside the mysterious Wonder Mountain, a force so fierce will blast riders 164 feet vertical through the summit and into the sky. Riders will experience nine inversions at 71 mph, spanning 3,281 feet across the park.
- Six Flags New England – Quantum Accelerator is an LSM propulsion, multi-launch roller coaster. Guests will experience 11 moments of “airtime” while riding side-by-side on comfortable coaster cars designed as futuristic motor bikes. With a top speed of 45 mph, this new ride will appeal to both novice and advanced coaster fans.
- Kings Dominion announced the arrival of Rapterra as part of the park’s 50th anniversary season in 2025. Standing at 145 feet tall and stretching 3,086 feet long, this incredible new attraction is one of the world’s tallest and longest launched wing coasters.
- Kings Island’s Soak City Water Park will debut new chills and thrills with the addition of RiverRacers, sending thrill seekers down a three-story first drop, then propelling them uphill through a mirrored race course of enclosed and open tubes and 180-degree high-bank turns before hitting a gravity-defying final straightaway drop to the finish line pool below. For those who like to chill, seven new kids water slides and kids splash lagoon swimmin’ hole will be featured in the riverside-themed kids’ play area and parent oasis, Splash River Junction .
- Hurricane Harbor Los Angeles will undergo a major transformation for its 30th anniversary season, marking a substantial investment to the waterpark experience. This comprehensive upgrade includes expanded shaded areas, seating, cabanas, and a wider range of amenities to boost comfort and convenience. The park’s ambiance will be revitalized with colorful slide and structure refurbishments, added landscaping and upgraded food and beverage options and locations for a more satisfying dining experience. Every aspect of the waterpark will be touched, ensuring an inviting environment to soak up the California sun.
- Hurricane Harbor in Arlington, Texas, will unveil the largest expansion in waterpark history, with the addition of a vibrant coastal-themed area anchored by a massive 58,000-square-foot, multi-level interactive kids play structure with 110 water features, seven water slides and a 1,000-gallon Texas-sized tipping water bucket. An additional seven-water-slide complex will include a mini-tornado water slide and mini wave slide, allowing brave first-time riders to slide down and around to a safe, soft mat landing area. A new self-play Splash Pad – featuring two dozen water features, plus new family cabanas, oversized umbrellas, junior-sized lounge furniture, refurbished restrooms and signature restaurant renovation – will complete this transformative new kids sprayground and parent oasis.
In addition to new rides and attractions, Six Flags will be upgrading and expanding its food and beverage facilities across the portfolio in 2025 highlighted by a wide variety of new signature menu and beverage items. Capital investments will be focused on improving the capabilities, technologies and efficiencies of the parks’ food preparation and delivery systems, while creating more comfortable and inviting locations where guests can dine.
“Making people happy and delighting our guests is what Six Flags parks do best, and with 2025 season passes now on sale, we’re tremendously excited about the year ahead,” said Zimmerman. “And with the new All Park Passport, we’ve taken a significant step toward bringing together our iconic collection of brands, ensuring there’s never been a better time to explore everything our parks have to offer.”
