CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Six Flags is offering an unlimited access pass to all of its parks next year, including Carowinds, just a month after merging with Carowinds’ parent company.
The all-park passport add-on means unlimited access and parking to all of Six Flags’ 42 amusement and water parks, starting Jan. 6, the company said.

For Carowinds park pass holders in the Charlotte area, the inclusive pass can be added to the gold and prestige season passes starting at $89 for the additional access, according to the park’s website. A gold pass is $99 annually and a prestige pass is $260 annually, the park’s website shows.
Cedar Fair, Carowinds’ former parent company, started offering an access pass to all of its parks in 2024, said Six Flags spokesman Gary Rhodes.
Last month, Cedar Fair and Six Flags finalized an $8 billion merger that brings the amusement park’s new company’s headquarters to Charlotte. Cedar Fair had owned and operated Carowinds since 2006 after purchasing it from Paramount for $1.2 billion.
