Will Six Flags close because of rain?

The park contains all types of activities, many of which are not dependent upon good weather, including indoor shows, games and arcades. While some rides and shows may close due to rain or wind, these rides and shows are opened as soon as the weather clears. Refunds and rainchecks are not offered.

Usually when the rain stops, the ride will resume as soon as it is safe to do so. Do know that each ride has different conditions in which it can operate depending on many factors so some of them won't be able to operate even if it's close to raining while some will start up as soon as the rain stops.

As long as it isn't really windy and stormy, it is usually pretty fun. We've done Cedar Point, Kings Island, Carowinds, and Kennywood in the rain. Some days the rain was only intermittent and it didn't effect rides too much, but kept the crowds low.
