Went for 3 days in March. Lines were 1.5-2+ hours on anything worth riding and even some kid rides. Made it to the front of lines after waiting and they would close for technical difficulties without giving a fast pass or anything for the time we d waited. Every worker we asked a question did not have an answer or would give incorrect info. The park would open at 9:50 for certain members (we are platinum), but nothing would be open. Then when the park actually opened at 10, there still wasn t anything open. No where to fill members cups, get a snack, no stores, no rides. One park employee told us I didn t even know people were in the park after opening hours. The kid rides in boom town would open first and then the thrill rides didn t open until 11:30 or after. When we would ask about thrill rides opening, every day for 3 days we were told they were closed due to technical difficulties , but frequent goers said they say that every day and it s simply because they don t start inspections early enough in the morning, so you just don t get your money s worth. The app ride times and open and closures is not at all accurate and we got stuck in several lines because it said wait times were 30 mins all for it to be hours. We got to the parking gate at 8:45 each morning for 10am opening and there was already a line. If you didn t get there at that time though parking was unbearable. Then we would be directed to another line to wait in and then another... and that was arriving over an hour early, all to get in and nothing be open for hours. There were at least 2 thrill rides closed for the majority of the day every day we went. In 3 days we didn t ride everything and never road anything more than once. Fast pass users pile in in front of the regular line and they continually get to go in front of you leaving the regular line at a stand still for a very long time. Workers were very rude. 2 bathrooms had soap dispensers and toilet paper holders that were empty all 3 days we were there. All the bathrooms were filthy and going in first thing when the gates opened they were already filthy and it was obviously they were not cleaned after the previous day. There were no shows like there use to be with western duals, country dancers, or anything. The first day we arrived we had to go to member services to receive our membership cards and get our member cups and we stood in line for 2.5 hours. We got a one time skip the line with our membership purchase, but never got to use it because the line at fast pass to claim it was longer than the ride lines. Serveral rides couldn t fill all the way because buckles didn t work in certain seats. 2 rides in the kid section were not open the entire 3 days. We purchased a dining pass and researched if there were specific times for lunch, snack and dinner and didn t find any times listed but when we arrived the restaurants had times posted. Lunch 11:30-3:30, snack 11:30-7:30 and dinner 4:30-7:30. So if you missed out on lunch you just didn t get it, or if you arrived too late for supper, you didn t get it, or if you wanted to snack while you waited 1.5 hours for any rides to open, you couldn t get one. Johnny rockets was supposed to open at 12:30 but didn t and then no one could tell us what time it would be open because of... you guessed it, technical difficulties . When leaving on the last day we were going to let the kids but Minecraft swords that saw at a booth and when we went to purchase them, couldn t because her computer was down due to technical difficulties. We did not feel like the time spent was at all worth our time and the kids wanted to just go swim at the hotel and lost all excitement for six flags because we spent so much time walking across the park trying to find something we could ride and not even getting to enjoy most of it. I grew up going to six flags every year. Definitely disappointed.
