When we started up a few years ago, we never thought that we’d see all the things that we have. We’ve been very lucky to have all of our readers, and with Twitter, all of our Followers. To show our appreciation we’re going to give you free stuff. It’s stuff that we’ve been very lucky to receive from the parks over the years, plus some other fun stuff.
But as we’re not quite at 1,000 followers just yet we are going to use our stuff as a bribe. Help us get there. In return we will randomly draw Twitter usernames for one of our fabulous prizes.
UPDATE: As of February 19th, we’ve reached a major milestone of 1,000 followers. With 1,000 followers, we introduce the use of a new network to our fans: Tumblr. The contest will close Thursday, February 24, 2011 at 12:00pm EST. Entires submitted at 12:01pm EST or later will not be entered into the contest. For a complete look at entires, click here.
Rules:
- Must be following @BehindThrills on Twitter.
- Must copy and paste the message exactly as it is posted below. Only correct entries will count.
- One entry per day for the entire length of the contest. Any more than one will count as just one. Any extra tweets just shows us you love us!
- One prize per Twitter follower, even if your Twitter name is drawn more than once, to make it fair we’re only going to give you one prize.
- One Twitter account per person. Entering under multiple accounts is strictly prohibited. Those found using multiple accounts will have their usernames with the least amount of entries taken out of the drawing.
- Only entries within the continental U.S. will be considered.
- All prizes are shipped as is, and cannot be return for an exchange, substitution or refund
- Have fun!

The goal for us is to get to 1,000 followers on Twitter, so once we get to it we’ll do the drawing! If we get to 1,000 before a week we’ll just let the week run out. Good luck!
The Drawing:
Once the contest has closed, we’ll jot everyone’s usernames down on bits of paper and toss them into a bowl after careful review to ensure the users are following each rule posted above. We’ll do a video of the drawing and post it to the site where everyone can see who won! Once the video has been posted, we will contact all users via a Direct Message on Twitter to collect more information. We’ll need your mailing address to send your prize to (and if we’re unable to make contact or collect your shipping information within one week, we’ll re-draw for your prize and give it to someone else). Once your prize has been shipped out, you’ll be notified that it’s on the way.
Once you get it, enjoy it, and maybe twit-pic it?
