Six Flags Announces Dream Nite!
Six Winners at Each Park Will Win the Party of a Lifetime for 100 Friends and Family Guests Are Automatically Entered to Win When They Buy Their 2007 Season Passes


NEW YORK, Sept. 27 -- Six Flags today announced "Dream Nite," an industry first that will give six lucky winners at each park the party of a lifetime as they host an exclusive night at their park, and invite up to 100 of their friends and family to celebrate with them.

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.

Unless 6 Flags includes cash this could be a terrible prize in terms of income taxes.

Six Flags does have a cash amount to help defer taxes....

http://www.sixflags.com/season_pass.asp#



Each winner that is a United States resident will also receive a cash stipend to defer a portion of the cost of any taxes associated with winning the prize in the amount of one thousand two hundred eighty dollars (U.S. $1,280) per winner. The cash stipend will be distributed after the Dream Nite event.



The actual event is worth $3,200, and includes food and drink. Total prize is worth $4,480.

Interesting. Tickets alone for 100 people are almost $6k, so they're seriously undervaluing the prize to keep from having to give people even MORE cash for their taxes.

$1280 on a $4480 prize is 29% -- I suppose you could afford to cover the added taxes if you were in a higher tax bracket than that.

The average price someone pays to go to a Six Flags park is around $32, with the 2 fer offers, etc.... so the price is set about right.

Also, interesting comparison...

Six Flags prizes, $3,200 plus $1,280 in cash for taxes

Disney Dreams Giveaway trips to Disneyland and WDW, $4,000 plus $1,200 in cash for taxes, that is a 23% tax rate.
