The Latest Trend in Theme Parks — Yours Alone for a Night

On Sept. 27, Six Flags announced “Dream Nite,” a program that will give six lucky winners at each Six Flags the chance to host an exclusive night at their park, and invite up to 100 of their friends and family to celebrate with them.

Six Flags was probably following suit, for yesterday, Oct. 4, the Spangler family from Randolph, Ohio, exercised their prize of having the Magic Kingdom all to themselves, as winners of Disney’s online sweepstakes used to help kick off its “The Year of a Million Dreams” celebration. Disney Parks actually rolled out a red carpet for the Spanglers on Main Street, U.S.A. at Walt Disney World Resort.

During “The Year of a Million Dreams” celebration, “literally millions of dreams will come true at Florida’s Walt Disney World Resort and California’s Disneyland Resort,” states a story from eTN.

“Our guests the world over have told us they believe a Disney Park is the place ‘where dreams come true’,” said Jay Rasulo, chairman of Walt Disney Parks and Resorts, “and that something magical happens when they walk through our gates. And that’s never been truer than during ‘The Year of a Million Dreams’ as we bring more magic to life than ever before.”

Dreams will be awarded every day at Disney parks and Downtown Disney in Florida and California through a random process as part of the unique Disney Dreams Giveaway.

“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.”

The promotion runs through Memorial Day, 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 these 16 Six Flags parks.
