Shoot, too bad. Well I just bought a season pass today anyways. SFWoA was looking like a ghost town. There weren't any coasters on the tracks and the ferris wheel was missing cars. Can't wait til opening day though!

I have to announce the winners. Not any of you. :lol: Sorry, but there is like a .0000049% chance either of you will win, especially you Corey, I mean, you go to the same school I do, and all the good writers graduated last year. :lol: Good luck on winning, though.BTW, I'm just giving you guys a hard time.

Did any of you already purchase your passes? Because if you win wouldn't it be a waste then?

Yeah, I'm waiting until opening day to buy my pass anyway, so it won't matter for me...By the way, there are 2 winners in each age group. First winner gets 2 season passes, and second winner gets 2 any day admission tickets. So that does up the chances of winning. Then, on top of that all winners get to be "of the first" to ride Superman.

Does of the first mean that you get some special type deal or does it mean you will be riding it in the 2003 season so that makes you of the first?

I'm pretty sure you ride it on media day, so you are one of possibly hundreds to ride it first.

Yeah, we'd ride it during Media Day, but we'd probably be the one of the 'first' trains that day...

I'd be in the 19+ age group. I thought of entering the contest, but decided not too(found out a week before deadline). Anyways, I guess I would have written about firefighters of 9/11 and what-not, but I read somewhere in the rules that stated the winner gets to bring along his/her "hero" with them to ride Superman. So, I wonder if actually writing about a "hero" you can't take with you might be against you? Six Flags may be looking for mom, dad, grandparent type of heroes I suppose.

thats exactly wut i wrote about!!!! i figured that if i wrote about a "famous" person and won......i wouldn't as much fun riding a ride with someone i didn't noe..... so~ if thats wut SF is looking for.....i hope i have an even better chance! :lol:~~~18 DAYZ!!!!!~~~Mod Note: Please try to use proper grammar and spelling as much as possible. Instead of saying "wut" spell it out "what". :) And that concludes todays spelling lesson. lol :)

Wouldn't that be the ultimate insult? He is your "hero," and you win, so Six Flags contacts him. He thinks they want a new ride because they invite the guy to the park to look at a plot of land they have. In place of one of his crowning acheivements, there is a brand spanking new B&M, the company that basically killed his Arrow loopers, and he has to be one of the first to ride it!

It's called irony. And it's damn funny if it would happen.

I wrote mine on my aunt... She's on her fifth round of cancer :(... And through all the treatments, doctor's appointments, and chemotherapy, she still finds time to go to support groups for other cancer sufferers, go to work, and raise seeing-eye dogs. ;)
