She wants to go to The Great Escape but I have to work tomorrow she is 12, and i am unsure what to say yes or no?
By herself - I wouldn't.
With a friend? I wouldn't.
With another family - who will be responsible for her? yes.
Depends. Is there going to be adult supervision that you know and trust. If it's just kids NO. If there will be an adult that you know and trust sure.
With a friend and that friend's parents? Sure. Alone? Crazy talk, no.
Define what you mean. To go with friends and no adult supervision (not a summer camp or recreation program, not with a friend's parent)? Then, no. If she's just going by herself (which is no fun and sounds like she met someone on line) or with a friend who is just being dropped off by an adult, no. But with another responsible adult, with enough sunscreen and money for snacks? Why not? Is there something in particular about this situation that concerns you? Her history or other issues? If so, it would help if you would specify.
No. Not without an adult.
Only if there is an adult in charge that is going also. I noticed with my kids that they were fine at that age with an adult's guidance, but if they were in a pack of other 12 year olds out in public that they easily could get out of control or be oblivious to other people around them (ie unknowingly be rude) or make bad choices.
i don't know your 12 year old, so i don't know.
i'd have let mine go- i DID let mine go- with responsible trusted friends at that age.

No, 12 is too young.
What if she gets sick or hurt?
You have to be 14 or older to be without an adult at Disney.
I imagine 6 Flags might have some similar rules but even if they don't I wouldn't let my kid do it.
If she were going with friends whose parent would be going with them - that would be different.
That would mean they have a responsible adult with them.
Additional:
I'm so tired of people dumping their kids off - at movies, stores, libraries, etc because for some reason they think they are 'done' being parents when their kid turns 12.
Even smart bright kids make bad decisions trying to impress friends, peer pressure, etc.
Just say no.
Take her when you can go with her.
Who is she going with. Do you trust them. More info needed.
No, not without an adult.
Too young, too big of a place, too many people.
Better to err on the side of safety than chance it.
You don't give much info.
Is she going alone? With friends? A group?
Do you know the friends, group, any chaperones? If you don't know the group, friends, parents, chaperones... why not? You should know her friends' parents.
Are they being dropped off? If so check the rules of the park because there's usually a rule pertaining to hold old they have to be in order for a drop off.
Some 12 yr olds are responsible enough to behave themselves and others are not. What is her maturity level?
Only you can decide to say yes or no... we don't know your situation, your daughter, her friends, how you daughter may be influenced by others.
She's getting ton the age to let go and allow independence but only you know what's right for your daughter.
As long as she's going with friends, yes, I assume she's not going totally alone (?)
yes. Make sure she texts you on and off during the day to let you know what's up.
