Why do only the Legacy Six Flags parks have memberships?
Our home park has always been Cedar Point, despite living closer to Michigan's Adventure (RIP). I have just noticed when comparing season pass prices between all of Six Flag's different parks that the Legacy Six Flags locations all have membership options, which seem to be monthly payments as an alternate to having a season pass. It's all the same perks and stuff, just a different format, I guess?
The thing is, a prestige pass at Cedar Point costs $350. A prestige membership at Six Flags Great America is only $14/month, which is $168 annually. This still gets you into every Six Flags park.
Is there some catch? For 2027, is there any reason I should get the Cedar Point Prestige Pass instead of the much cheaper Great America Prestige Membership?
Edit: Or even just a regular Great America Prestige Pass?
