Six Flags now says it will refund Mikyeila Cordero for her season passes.

Six Flags said the passes would be valid for the 2021 season. But then, the amusement parks reopened as the delta variant hit – and Cordero said Six Flags would not offer a refund or pass extension for those who do not feel safe going now.

But that has now changed.
