Six Flags Over Texas is cashless!
A message from Six Flags: We only accept credit card payments at the park. We still have the cash to card kiosk; you will be able to put your cash in the kiosk and it will dispense a visa card that you can use anywhere inside or outside the park. You cannot reload this card so once you run out of money on the card, you will have to get a new one. Please keep in mind that we do have tax in the park when buying a beverage, game, retail item etc.
