Six Flags changes filming policy for roller coaster POVs
Six Flags changed its park policy relating to guests filming while riding roller coasters, allowing recording with specific parameters.

The new procedure states guests are allowed to film on rides, including coasters, only if the recording device is a “glasses-based micro camera,” such as Meta Glasses, and if the glasses adhere to the given park’s glasses rules. See the full policy below.
This policy applies to all guests at all Six Flags-owned parks, AttractionsMagazine.com confirmed. Six Flags parks’ individual websites will eventually be updated to reflect the policy change.
The full, new filming policy at Six Flags parks is as follows:
On-ride photography is strictly prohibited on the majority of our attractions without park permission unless the recording device is a glasses-based micro camera (ex: Meta Glasses) that is secured to the head with an approved strap while riding. Small action cameras, including GoPro, DJI Osmo, DJI Pocket, etc. are not permitted on rides and attractions. Please review each ride’s safety guidelines for any additional restrictions.
Safety guidelines for every ride are clearly posted in detail via signage at the entrance to each attraction’s line.

For comparison, the rule previously stated: “Filming, regardless of device, secured or unsecure, is prohibited on most rides and attractions.”
Earlier this week, Six Flags restructured its season passes. Now, gold-tier season passes for all Six Flags parks in North America are grouped regionally. If you buy a pass to one park, you receive admission to all the other parks in your region for free. See the full list of regions and which parks belong to which group in our separate coverage.
Both the filming policy and the restructured season passes are some of the first major changes made under John Reilly, who was installed as Six Flags’ new president and CEO in December 2025. Reilly replaced Richard A. Zimmerman, who led Cedar Fair prior to its 2024 merge with Six Flags. Reilly was previous CEO of other theme park companies such as Palace Entertainment and SeaWorld.

In-development projects as Six Flags parks include a new dark ride opening this year at Kings Island, the reimagining of MonteZOOMa also opening in 2026 at Knott’s Berry Farm, and a mystery project for Carowinds in 2027, among others.
