What does the Gold Flash Pass let you do, and will it be worth it this Labor...

Yeh, the Regular Flash Pass just reserves your spot on line, so you have to wait as long as everyone else, but not in line so you can walk around or go on other rides while you wait for your spot (it will also notify you when a ride reopens if it closes). The Gold Flash Pass cuts your wait time by 75% - so say the line is an hour wait, you just have to wait 15 minutes...so it cuts your wait time by a lot. I've been to Six Flags many times this year and never felt like I needed a Flash Pass (but I also always avoid Saturdays and Holidays), but since you are going on Saturday of Labor Day weekend w/ a good weather forecast, then I guess it's worth buying it if you are willing to spend that much money for it. Sometimes they will let you just cut to the front w/out even doing your "25%" wait, but since it'll be a busy weekend they may not be so lenient. So at any rate, you won't "walk-on" to the rides, but it does cut the wait substantially on a busy day.
It also only works on certain rides - pretty much the big attractions like rollercoasters and thrill flat rides.
Good luck.
 
...Day weekend on Saturday? Me and 5 of my friends are planning to purchase the 6-person Gold Flash Pass. What does it do exactly? I am confused because I know the Regular Flash Pass lets you reserve your spot in line. But somewhere I read that the Gold one lets you just skip the line as soon as you get there. Can someone lemme know how it works, thanks.
