As usual, when you buy the 2013 pass, you can use it for park admission for the rest of the 2012 season, too, which covers your admission if you’re going to Fright Fest this weekend. These are the lowest prices that’ll be offered for the 2013 season, so don’t miss out. Here are the details:

And Six Flags Over Georgia now offers a Gold pass, which comes with free parking at every Six Flags theme park, extra Bring-a-Friend tickets, VIP entry, & more. Bonus: It’s priced at $89.99, but if you process your IDs by October 28, 2012, you’ll get a free upgrade to Gold, so you can get Gold passes for as little as $49.99 each. And when you buy online, you can take advantage of a 12-payment payment plan to spread out the cost.

Season passes remain your best bet if you’re planning to visit often. Not only does does a season pass pay for itself in about two visits, but it comes with a coupon book that’ll let you get friends in free or on the cheap + save on food & merchandise. And your admission includes extras like concerts & Fright Fest at Six Flags Over Georgia.
Speaking of Fright Fest, my girls still feel safest trick-or-treating in Bugs Bunny’s Spooky Town & riding in the McBoogles cars. Fright by Night freaks them out, but I enjoy riding the Terror Train (which is twice as long for 2012), and The Last Ride & Dr. Fright’s Dead Man’s Party are on my list to check out this year.
If you’re bringing young’uns, you should leave around the time Baron Von Vile’s Call to His Minions takes place each night (7:00 p.m. on select Fridays & 6:00 p.m. on Saturdays & Sundays). That’s the moment when all manner of zombies & freakish creatures are unleashed in the park, and they relish making people scream & cry (they tend to leave you alone if you’re giggling).
FYI–There’s an additional fee for some Fright Fest activities.
Another reason to consider a combo pass: They’re adding two new rides for 2013:
- At Six Flags Over Georgia, SkyScreamer, an extreme swing ride, will spin guests in a 98-foot circle at speeds of 40 miles per hour atop a 24-story tower.
- At White Water, Typhoon Twister will send riders in four-passenger tubes barreling down an enclosed five-story drop before shooting out into a 67-foot bowl, where they’ll experience several revolutions against the wall of the bowl, then spin down into the corkscrew-drop chute and splash into the pool below.
