Six Flags Theme Park Discounts 2008

Recently I found that trying to find a last minute deal for admission to an amusement park is not easy. I needed three tickets to Six Flags Great Adventure and Wild Safari in New Jersey. I looked for Six Flags coupons online and found the following:

Coupon codes “COLDSTONE” and “PJKID” give the kid’s admission price to adults. This is a $10 savings of the original online adult ticket price of $39.99, meaning adults pay $29.99. Unfortunately I also needed tickets to Great Adventure’s Wild Safari park and these coupons only work for the amusement park. In fact the coupons don’t work at all you get on the other parks without the coupons. What this means is if you need admission to only the amusement park you’ll get the kids price. If you need tickets to more than one of the parks the coupons will not work, but you will get an automatic discount on the other park.

I also learned that if you order tickets to any Six Flags Park via the website adults get $10 off the $49.99 general admission price. Buy them before you go!

So after all this last minute research I managed to not save much. If I had planned ahead I could have taken advantage of a partnership that Six Flags has with Coke. You can get tickets by accumulating Coke Rewards Points. You get points by purchasing Coke products from Coke and its partners. So if you drink a lot of coke remember to create a Coke Rewards account and record your points.
