    Tomorrow is the big day! Tomorrow we turn 10 years old! A decade on the internet is quite a feat in this day and age! (Does that make us sound old?)

    For our anniversary tomorrow we are having a HUGE contest! There will be one prize for Facebook and one for Twitter.

    Here's how it will work:

    Facebook: Get as many friends/family/co-workers/fellow enthusiasts to "like" our facebook page and you will automatically be put into a random drawing. How will that work? Easy! For people that are "liking" our page tomorrow needs to write on our wall who sent them over. It's that simple! You can send out a mass email message or however you want. Just spread the word! The drawing will happen the morning of May 3rd. You have 24 full hours to get in on this contest!

    Twitter: Just tweet or retweet any of our tweets tomorrow and be entered for a chance to win. The more people that get on our tweet wagon the better! The prize drawing will be held on May 3rd as well. So 24 hours of awesome tweeting can earn you 100 bucks to amazon. You must use our @thrillnetwork so that I can see you tweeted!

    So....TWO Prizes! 100 bucks each to amazon.com.

    Are you ready for getting presents for our anniversary?

    We are ready to give them!

    (Edit: Staffers are not elligible for any of these prizes, but they can send the word to like our page and tweet! Ahem!)

    Texas Giant officially reopened to the public this past Friday, with lines ranging between 1½ and two hours all day. All three trains were running, though it seems that the ride can't dispatch until the train before it clears the safety brake, which means the third train will always end up sitting in the brake run for a while. ...

    Antoine's trip to Phantasialand

    2011 would begin right where 2010 left off and that would be visiting amusement parks in Germany to ride some coasters. Because I never got to go here in 2010, I figured it would be my first trip this year. Last time I had been to Phantasialand was 1998 (Yes, I am showing my age) and I could not wait to go back again. I had a four day weekend here, so I figured the best day to go was during the week on Monday April 11th when there would be very little people there.

    As reported on WPXI, a Pittsburgh local news station, Kennywood is ready for opening day 2011. While the park is not adding a major ride, they are improving their ever-popular Kiddieland by adding a new food stall that has kid friendly (and healthy snacks) and easily accessible restrooms for parents and younger kids that frequent that area.

    The historic Parkside Cafe will also add some more comfort including air conditioning and better restroom facilities. The cafe building was built in 1898 and is one of the oldest buildings in the park to date.

    The park opens on May 7th (Saturday) and will also be open the next weekend (the 14th and 15th) and will start daily operations on Thursday May 19th. The park opens at 10:30am and rides start at 11pm.

    For more information, please check out WPXI.
