Hats there can be $20+. Also wear comfortable shoes because you might be standing in line for a while. Bring sunscreen and a little first aid kit. The refillable waters are $21.99 for the whole day and some rides won't let you bring them on so you might need to get a locker.

According to the "hive mind" of Reddit's theme park communities, the ultimate Six Flags packing list focuses on efficiency and comfort. First, a small, high-quality fanny pack is highly recommended over a backpack, as many rides allow fanny packs but require lockers for larger bags, saving you time and money. Second, bring a refillable water bottle (check the specific park's current rules on "empty" vs. "sealed") to stay hydrated without paying $6 for a soda. Third, sunscreen and a hat with a chin strap are essentials for long days in uncovered queues. Redditors also swear by bringing a "portable power bank" to keep your phone charged for mobile ordering and checking wait times. For footwear, the consensus is comfortable sneakers with socks, as flip-flops can fly off on many coasters and provide poor support for the 10-15 miles you might walk. Lastly, many suggest a Ziploc bag to keep your phone and wallet dry on water rides like Roaring Rapids. If you're looking for a "pro tip," bring a change of socks in a locker or your car; there is nothing worse than walking through the park in wet socks after a splash-down.
