Rent SFGAm

[CoasterKing]

I thought you could rent Six Flags Great America. Cant You? If you can how much is it and have any of you done that.

[Papas]

Only BIG organizations rent out the park and thats either before opening or in September.
And it's a lot more than you could afford.

He could be rich, in which case if you do rent it out, I expect you to invite everyone from SFGamworld.com

[Timmy179]

even if he was rich, it would still be a big chunk of cash.

That gives me an idea, Dave let's have an sfgamworld event.

While I have no idea what the price would be, at Silverwood people have set up their own events outside of any official club affilliation, and their rates are something like $1,200 per hour though I forget if that was for just one coaster or both. I think it was for both.

we should have an event here, an ERT or something

[Timmy179]

i believe you need above 100 people to do that (coasterbuzzcon) and we dont have 100 members that would show up (i doint think we do anyway)

[mschulz5]

I believe we have around 500 members, but as far as the people that actually post on a regular basis, probably right around 150.

[rct2wizard360]

I think we should do Top 50 posters go or something like that.

[planea380]

That would be dumb cause who ever held this wouldnt make profit with only 50 people.

[Timmy179]

Yeah, i wouldnt quite say 150 members post on a regular basis?

[planea380]

Maybe like 100. I would say about 150 check the boards everyohne once is awhile but dont post.

[RedOne3781]

I am in the process of planning an event for an group I am a part of, that is the only reason why I know the information below.



To TOTALLY rent out Great America (they refer to it as a buy out), it must be during a non-operating day. (ie a Friday before Memorial Day, or after Labor day, but before Fright Fest) The cost comes out to be around $95 a ticket, for 500 tickets or so. That does not include food or parking.

Any other packages that I could tell you guys about would be a waste of my time and yours, since they do not involve buying out the park, or any perks for season pass holders.
(like the whole $25.99 admission group rates, or the picnic in the park rates, etc).

Not sure if any of that helped, but I thought I'd throw the info out there.

they should have a poll to see how many members would sign up, as the monthly poll

[coasterdude12]

I once went to a buyout in 1999.
The park was more full than I had ever seen.


I know this has little to do with the topic
