CONTEST CLOSED. Congratulations to cwgator, FamousAmos, and adam3482p.

Have you ever wondered what the American Coaster Enthusiasts are all about? Thanks to the kindness and generosity of a Carowinds Connection member who wishes to remain anonymous, we have three associate ACE memberships to give away. There are three requirements to be eligible to win:

1) You must have registered for Carowinds Connection before this thread was posted.
2) You must be at least 16 years old.
3) You must have never been an ACE member in the past.

To enter the contest, email contest@carowindsconnection.com with your first and last name, age, Carowinds Connection screen name, and answers to the following five trivia questions:

1) Carowinds was designed by an architectural firm based out of California. Name the firm and three other amusement parks that they designed.
2) Name one of the two steam locomotives that ran at Carowinds when it opened in 1973.
3) Name three of the animal mascots that roamed around Carowinds when it opened in 1973.
4) Name all of the roller coasters that have operated in the past at Carowinds but were removed.
5) The "Sweet Frog Frozen Yogurt" shop in Carolina Boardwalk has had at least seven different uses since it was constructed to open with the park in 1973. Name four of them.

All correct submissions will be put into a random drawing to decide the three winners. No discussing of answers on the forum! Submissions must be received by 11:59 PM EST on August 20, 2014. This will give the winners plenty of time to register for the Scarolina Coaster Classic if they wish to attend. Good luck! Huge thanks again to the generous donor.

As far as I know, this is the first time that an ACE Membership has been given away by a website. Thanks again to the anonymous donor for providing this gift to those who win it.

Very cool contest. So cool to have someone donate that too! ACE is a great organization, and I am a proud member. If you do not end up winning this contest, I'd encourage you to look at ACE and/or any coaster club. Plus, the associates level membership seems to be an awesome value at a reasonable price! Good luck to everybody who enters!

Someone will be in contact with you soon to let you know how to sign up for your membership.

Thanks to everyone who entered. Turnout was a lot lower than I would have expected, so I'm sorry if I made the questions too hard. All of the answers could be found on http://carowindsearlyyears.com/
