I won the July contest, and it's now the middle of August and the season won't last much longer...will the season pass to the six flags parks be good until next July? if not, could the season pass be for 2005? I'm glad I won, but with so little time left in the 2004 season, planning any trips will be all but impossible...if the pass awarded could be for the 2005 season, I'll be able to plan and make the best use of this excellent price.
thanks,
Art/simbiant

^ Hahaha...nice try simbiant. The "price" is for this year, not next. You should be happy to receive anything. You're what, 53 years old? Are you proud of yourself for winning top "price" against people half your age? lol.

The fact that you may not be able to "plan" a trip is irrelevant. You won the "price". You will collect that "price". Whether or not you use that "price" is not the responsibility of the contest holders.

Most SF parks will be open (at least on weekends) through October. I'm sure you can find time to "plan" a weekend to some SF park and use the pass.

If you don't think you'll be able to use the pass, then give away the pass to someone who can (switch "prices" with the person who won a shirt or something).

Bottom line = don't be greedy. Seriously.



Oh, and by the way...you won a priZe, not "price". I'd expect someone with wisdom as great as yours (achieved solely from age) to know the difference.

Magnum Robert, you need to settle down. The site is hosting a contest and the winner has a right to inquire where his "prize" is. He's calling it "price" because of a similar thread where the winner was from another country and mis pronounced prize. Just because you have a different political viewpoint doesn't mean you should bring your poor attitude into this. His entry and subsequent winning of the contest has absolutely nothing to do with you. Take your poor attitude and belittling remarks elsewhere where they might be appreciated.

At your age, I'd expect you to know better.

thanks for being so considerate and answering all my questions Maggie

I will need to discuss this with the TN Speedzone staff. Very good question however.

We will try and answer your question as soon as possible. Also, if we aren't able to get a 2005 season pass, we could proabobly get you some TN swag at the store.

And Magnum Robert, stay out of it.

This has absolutely nothing to do with politics. I'm sorry you're not smart enough to figure that out.

If there's one thing I hate it's an ingrate. Simbiant should be happy he won a prize, but it sure doesn't seem that way.

And if you don't like my posts, then use the "ignore" feature. That's what it's there for. Same goes for you, Raptordude.

Sure thing! Or banning, that works too.

^ Ban me for what? Suggesting simbiant give the prize away to someone who could use it, since he (for whatever reason) can't plan a trip by the end of October?

Good idea.

Oh, and one more thing, Raptordude. You are not a moderator, nor an admin. So drop the "I'm all high and mighty" act. Okay?

Only as long as you drop the "flame people for no good reason" act, Okay?

I asked a simple question and Magnum Robert turned it into an accusastion of ingratitude. It is nothing of the kind, but I'm sure that someone like Magnum Robert will never believe that. I find his sticking his nose into this to be insulting, degrading and contemptable. This kind of vitriolic attack is not the first he has made against me, and I wish to lodge a formal complaint against him right here and now.

Complaint noted.

Really, in all seriousness. MR, it was a simple question, you didn't need to attack the guy. And just because Kyle isn't an administrator or moderator doesn't mean anything. Again, please treat people with respect instead of attacking them.

Simbiant, please do note that your "price" will be discussed with the right people.


Robert, there was no reason to post in this thread other than to flame. What's your point?

__________________

I thank all of you for your consideration in this matter. MR sort of stole my thunder, but Ill make it clear now. If I can't get a pass for the 2005 season, give the pass to the second place winner. I had planned to offer that if things couldn't work out because I really can't take advantage of the pass this year...I had hoped things would have worked out differently, but the recent hurricane in my area will have me tied up for months, at least until December, and that will include weekends. Thanks for your support and I hope things can work out, but if they can't, I won't sneer at getting a T-shirt.

Simbiant,

The passes are for 2004 only. Unfortunately, they are not good for 2005. Either way, we need your full name, address, and telephone number (you can PM that to me), and if you want the t-shirt, your t-shirt size.

Also, as far as the comments Robert made, they really could have been made a lot better. Plus, you are not in the position to answer questions about the contest prizes, as you do not run it.

Everytime I ride a coaster, it valleys. I've never been on a stalled coaster or had one roll back (except Wicked Twister and what was Superman: Ultimate Escape, which does that by design).

I've given Steven the go-ahead to give the season pass to the second-place winner, as I simply won't be able to find the time to use it this year (and it's a bit ironic that it should go to him, seeing as how he said Hellbound Mouse sucked, at another site). Maybe next year another contest will come along and I'll get lucky again....and I'll have a Thrillnetwork T-shirt to wear!

i dont think 2004 season passes are an appropriate prize at this time of year.

If the contest is sponsored and that's what the sponser is giving, I say don't look a gift horse in the mouth.

I'm #2 and I don't want the pass either (no six flags near me, school in 2 weeks). By the way, how soon can i expect my "price"?

Simbiant-
Sorry about the poor rating but you rated my ride way down (as well as the 3 other rides in front of Hellbound on the best-of-the-week) and I did truthfully think it wasn't that good. However now I realize I was probably real biased and I'm gonna go change that rating now.

I always give honest ratings, if I did rate down rides that were getting higher rates than mine in a given week, it wouldn't be unusual, I usually give lower than average ratings as I'm pretty critical and in all likelihood, I did the same thing to other rides that weren't ahead of mine in the ratings...in the long run, that kind of things never pays off, someone always comes along and posts some magnificent monster of a coaster that clobbers whatever I posted, so I just keep it honest. download the version of Hellbound Mouse that was entered here...the track is the same, but it had a lot of extra work done around it (I only posted it at other sites to sort of test it and see what I was doing wrong, but I ended up not changing the track at all).

Ain't it the truth...

I already got the new version. I liked your flag and the station (darn i hafta learn how to do those).

In any case sorry about the misunderstanding.

What if somebody lived in an area where season ends in oct, and they were to win the oct contest. Would they then get it for the next year?

Did anyone see my I don't want the pass and and when can I expect my "price" comment? Just wondering if it got through...

and meowcoaster1, probably not.
