6 Flags Great Adventure - Flash Pass
Does anyone here know anything about the Flash Pass at 6 Flags? Are there ways of getting a discount, by buying in advance, or buying somewhere else? Could out-of-towners, from other countries, get a discount?
Finally, I will be going there with a group of teens - 2 of them have Down Syndrome and 1 has diabetes. Can they get free passes to not wait in line? (I know that used to be the case for both DS and diabetes, but I don't know whether things have changed, especially since they started selling passes.)
Thanks!

I know there's lots of ways to discounts in advance, and as far as a pass, if there is one person in the party with a disability ID, then you can get a pass to skip the lines, though you have to wait the equivalent of what you would have waited for had you not been handicapped. I just did that two weeks ago. Go to member services right as you enter, on the left. Ironically you have to wait in line for that though.

I live about 15 miles from there. I know there are discounts available, particularly for those of us who live in the area.
I will look into it and get back to you.

But for all I know, it could be a good will gesture, similar to the free ones for people with Down Syndrome.
Thank you so much!

I checked, and the only discounts available to local residents are for seasonal passes, and nothing at all for the flash pass.
If you have 15 people you can get group pricing on the admission tickets, I don't know about the flash pass. However, if you mention you have disabled young adults in your party, they may have something available. As well, coming from out of the country may get you something.
Sorry, but that's the best I can find. Definitely give them a call.

The OP is looking for a discount on the flash pass, which allows you to bypass some or most of the lines.

Correct - the entry tickets aren't an issue. They're all paid for, and even if they weren't, getting a discount on entry is quite easy to find! I even so coke cans in on LY ex-TLV that were clearly imported from NJ. How'd I know? Because of the "buy 1 get 1 free" offer for Great Adventure tickets!

OP, it seems like you are asking about two different things, the opportunity to pay for a short wait in line (which Six Flags calls a Flash Pass) and accommodations for people with disabilities.

1. I want a discount on a Flash Pass for me
2. I want to know if I can still get a free Flash Pass (or special access pass) for my campers with disabilities
