Six Flags season passes

The answer is "probably yes" - I renewed mine online just before Christmas and the new pass was Fed-Ex'd to me a week later, with last year's photo as you said. I'm assuming that if you renew online they will do the same.

Activate? You mean there's something else I gotta do before I can use it at the park? I didn't get that memo.

Hmmm...are we talking about the same thing? I literally got all four of our passes in the mail (pics and all) with a letter explaining all things Six Flags *and* a strip across all Season Pass ID's instructing me to go to

SixFlags.com/Activate

to renew/activate them instantly.

This makes the second year (or is it the third?) that the passes have been sent to me -automatically- via mail and all I have to do is pay for them/activate them online.

Is that the same dealio you got/you're talking about?

Most of you don't know what this user is talking about.

If you did not renew your 2007 season pass by a certain date Six Flags automatically sent you a new 2008 season pass along with letter asking you to renew. If you were interested then you'd go online to activate the 2008 season pass card and thus purchase the pass they mailed you. If not then you'd just toss it in the trash.

I received this offer in the mail last year and simply didn't activate it.

In my opinion this is not a privacy concern since it only contains your name and photo. There are far easier ways to steal ones identity. You're also making the assumption that the person who lives at your new address is a theif, which is kind of far reaching. If you move then it is your responsibility to contact the park and update your mailing address. If you do that then there is no issue. Failure to take the time to do so is just asking for problems.

If your friends are so concerned then why haven't they done that.

Thanks MB... but no, different scenario (Whew!)
I first paid for mine online, then they sent the laminated pass.
And thank you Eric for the explanation... that cleared it all up.

Thanks all.

It is not so much a privacy concern in dealing with identity theft, but just knowing that someone has your picture and name can be a somewhat disturbing thought.
