Six Flags Eliminates Guest Surcharge Fee at Participating Legacy Six Flags Parks
July 22 2024 - 8:00AM
Business Wire
Six Flags Entertainment Corporation (NYSE: FUN), the largest and
most diverse amusement park operator in North America, today
announced that it has eliminated a guest surcharge fee on in-park
food, beverage and retail purchases at participating legacy Six
Flags parks.
Most legacy Six Flags parks began applying a surcharge fee to
all in-park food, beverage and retail purchases earlier this year
due to increased labor and supply costs. The surcharge was
automatically added at the beginning of every transaction and
appeared as a separate line item on the guest’s receipt.
Following the completion of the merger of Cedar Fair
Entertainment Company and former Six Flags Entertainment on July 1,
the decision was made to repeal those surcharge fees. (Two legacy
Six Flags parks in California eliminated the surcharge fee just
prior to that in anticipation of a change in state law.)
“We always welcome feedback from our guests on how we can
improve their park experience, and the surcharge fee at the legacy
Six Flags parks was a frequent target for criticism,” said Tim
Fisher, chief operating officer of the new Six Flags. “This
decision shows we are listening to our guests and that we value
their input. It also reinforces our focus on enhancing guest
satisfaction, improving the value proposition and ensuring that
families can enjoy a memorable day filled with fun and
entertainment.”
