Six Flags Over Texas Has a Ridiculous Deal Running

Six Flags Over Texas was recently featured (kind of) in our Top Ten Amusement Parks list for good reason: Six Flags dominates rollercoasters.

Of course, that domination usually comes at a price to your wallet. But not in Texas, baby -- starting tomorrow, Six Flags Over Texas customers can purchase SIX admissions for the low, low price of $49.99. No joke.

"While it’s tough and everyone has to watch their discretionary spending, value’s going to win out. Tried and true is going to win out. Those that are investing in the product are going to win out," said [Mark] Shapiro [Six Flags CEO], who walked the grounds with Steven Martindale, Six Flags Over Texas president. They stopped to inspect the Texas Giant wooden roller coaster, slated for $10 million in new track, trains and controls in the fall.

Hey, what can I say? That's a freaking steal. It's a bit of a nightmare that they're not pushing it to all their parks -- I have zero chance of going to Six Flags Over Texas six times this summer, and, again, I don't care for rollercoasters, but the fact of the matter is that the park is fun enough on its own and if this was an option at Carowinds (just an hour from my house) you can bank on me being there six times over the course of the summer, just out of sheer principle.
