the cheaper it is. 2018 Gold passes (amusement park/water park/parking/usable at any 6 flags in the US) have a face value of $120. They were on sale in October for $54. The Black Friday price going on now is $58. The Christmas price will be in the $65 range. Once the spring season hits next year, you might find a coupon to get them for $100. If Lagoon is like most other amusement parks, they'll price them to give an incentive to buy early, and prices will go up as you get closer to the 2018 summer season.
