ARLINGTON, Texas – November 04, 2026 -- Guests age 65 and older can get free unlimited admission at their home Six Flags park through the end of the 2026 season, as the operator rolls out holiday events at 11 parks across the United States, Canada and Mexico.
Two parks relaunch Holiday in the Park with three new lands each
Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson, New Jersey, and Six Flags Over Georgia in Mableton debut reimagined versions of Holiday in the Park. It is the first phase of a multiyear overhaul.
