For one extraordinary night, Dream Nite winners and their guests will have the park all to themselves! They'll live out their theme park fantasies, from the world's best thrill and family rides to dining with the Looney Tunes and Justice League characters, riding in the Six Flags parade, watching their very own customized fireworks show and -- best of all -- no lines and completely free of charge! All 2007 Six Flags season pass holders are automatically entered to win. "We know that everyone -- kids, teenagers and parents -- have dreamed about all they would do if they had a whole Six Flags park to themselves for a night," said Mark Shapiro, Six Flags President and CEO. "Dream Nite will make this fantasy a reality for a lucky six guests in each of our parks. Our guests know that a Six Flags season pass is already a tremendous value and Dream Nite will be our special thank you to our most loyal guests." When Six Flags guests purchase and activate a 2007 season pass, they will be automatically entered to win their Dream Nite. The promotion begins online at midnight tonight and runs through Memorial Day, Monday May 28, 2007. The lucky winners will be chosen in a drawing in July 2007, and the Dream Nite parties will take place in September 2007 at the 16 Six Flags parks listed below. To buy 2007 season passes, just log onto www.sixflags.com or visit any participating Six Flags theme park, and visit www.sixflags.com for official entry rules. Participating Six Flags parks include LaRonde, The Great Escape, Six Flags New England, Six Flags Magic Mountain, Six Flags Darien Lake, Six Flags Great Adventure & Wild Safari, Six Flags America, Six Flags Over Georgia, Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom, Six Flags Great America, Six Flags St. Louis, Six Flags Over Texas, Six Flags Fiesta Texas, Six Flags Elitch Gardens, Six Flags Marine World and Six Flags Mexico. No Purchase Necessary.

Sweepstakes begins 12:01 AM ET 9/28/06 and ends 11:59 PM ET 7/4/07. See Official Rules at www.sixflags.com for restrictions, prize descriptions, how to play without purchase and complete details.

Six Flags, Inc. is a publicly-traded corporation (NYSE: SIX - News) headquartered in New York City. Sounds interesting. Again, some parks listed on there that were supposed to be closed by next year. Not that Press Releases mean much these days. Makes me want to get a SP from a park other than SFMM though.
robbalvey Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 Sounds interesting. Again, some parks listed on there that were supposed to be closed by next year. Not that Press Releases mean much these days. Makes me want to get a SP from a park other than SFMM though. I don't ever remember SF announcing they would be closing any parks on that list. I read they had parks they were interested in selling, but I don't recall taking away from that anything like "if the park isn't sold by a specified date, the park would be closed." Maybe I read the press release wrong. --Robb
Sir Clinksalot Posted September 27, 2006 Author Posted September 27, 2006 ^ I was kind of being sarcastic. Because when they came out that they were "Exploring Strategic Options" there were rumors flying around that SFEG, SFMM, etc were going to be closing as soon as next month. Which is why I put the little guy next to that sentance.
disneyfan1313 Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 Is it just me or is it kinda a rip off of the year of a million dreams contest that WDW and DL are having.. right down to the "Dream Night" title.. hmmm...
socalMAN123 Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 Sounds pretty cool! All I would do though is keep riding Tatsu and X over and over and over! I should be getting a season pass next year with my dad, but we are kind of tight on money right now and are trying to plan a 2008 trip. ---Brent
SharkTums Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 ^^OMG! YES! That was the first thing I thought when I read the title of the thread, then you read the prize...wow. I wonder if Disney could do something about this! Come on Disney, you have more lawyers then Six Flags has staff!

mcjaco Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 Is it just me or is it kinda a rip off of the year of a million dreams contest that WDW and DL are having.. right down to the "Dream Night" title.. hmmm... I was thinking the same thing....
Hercules Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 Is this kind of promotion really needed? Do they really think that they will be getting enough of an increase in season pass sales to compensate something like this? Same old Six Flags.
easytoremember Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 ^ My guess is, to the general Public, yes. I really do think that this is a good Idea, and they might sell a few more season passes this year.
pvcoasterguy Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 Is it copying off Disney? Probably. But is the event as a whole a cooler idea? Probably. I don't know... it seems like a fun idea. Marketing points for SF season passes, and good PR. What could be better? (Umm... probably improving the chain as a whole like Shapiro promised would happen... and we know how that promise turned out. )
SharkTums Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 How the hell is Six Flags giving away 15 prizes for buying Season Passes a cooler idea than Disney giving away a million different prizes ranging from little things to stuff much better than a Six Flags party?!?!? From reports I've heard the Disney Dream Squad is already out practicing and people have gotten Golden Fastpasses this week!
coasterdude5 Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 Disney's deal is the first thing that came to mind when I saw this. Ahh, I guess it's competition...
coasterfreak101 Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 * Six Flags takes Disney Press Release- Searches for all the "Disney"s in the release. - Replaces them with "Six Flags". _six No, because the way that they check things there would still be a few Disney's in there (see Information on El Toro on this page) --Tyler "Disn...Sis Fla...Six Flags Offers Dream Night" H.
downunder Posted September 27, 2006 Posted September 27, 2006 I'm sure the winners and their parties will be greeted with a sign at the front with a long list of rides not operating that day. It seems everyone I spoke to in the GP (including tour operators) seems convinced that SFMM is closing this year, the marketing is working.
gmoney422 Posted September 28, 2006 Posted September 28, 2006 Now, I bought my season pass before this promotion started. Does that mean I'm not eligible? If so, that's garbage!
Hercules Posted September 28, 2006 Posted September 28, 2006 First you were complaining about the 5 dollars now this!? It says that 2007 season pass holders will be elibile. I would think that you will be.

It will be interesting to see what all is open and how many ops there are.
photoginit Posted September 28, 2006 Posted September 28, 2006 My Dream Night at SFEG would be taking me and my 100 friends over to Lakeside so we could ride something that doesn't suck.

I would think that you will be. Yeah, but it also says the promo STARTS tonight at midnight. Why wouldn't it say it started when passes went on sale? Figure that one out, Merlin! G "I know who'll be off my 100 ppl list" Money
Hercules Posted September 28, 2006 Posted September 28, 2006 Like I would have been on it in the first place. G - I just got in email from Coaster Zombies. The sweepstakes started today, but there actually no purchase necessary. All you have to do is go to sixflags.com and register for it.
