But by the time a new viral marketing campaign from Six Flags wraps up, executives hope "Steel" riders will have spent several hours hyperventilating over the property -- even before they strap in and drop 221 feet.

It sounds like the culmination might be a live search of the park?


That would be sweet considering I am only 17 miles from Six Flags New England. Very Happy

 		I would be happy if the stock certificate ended up giving us a discount to the park. My son would love a trip to Six Flags New England - he's been there a couple of times already. It looks like we're down another percentage to 22% available.

*Sigh*, it's cool that a live event may be planned at the park, I only wish that I could participate (darn you Six Flags for completely abandoning the Six Flags New Orleans park after Katrina!).

On a completely unrelated note, I used to occasionally visit the Six Flags New England area and used to go to that park. The last time I went I remember getting off the rapids raft ride, going back into line and then waiting in (a very short) line without it moving at all, eventually leaving the line for that reason. The next day I found out that a raft had turned over and nearly drowned a number of people. So obviously, I have mixed emotions about the park.

 		Site is updated.


11-6-08

While the majority of Metropolis Stock Exchange commodities continued to flounder yesterday, Clawshun Industries earned a sudden influx of new investors, driving its price above $1,000.00 for the first time ever… and their CEO, for one, could not be happier. "It just goes to show you," commented Alexander Joseph, "capitalism is alive and well."

Joseph is owner of LexCorps, the parent company of Clawshun Industries. On the topic of his recent good fortune in the market, the upbeat billionaire explained, "More revenue means more freedom - freedom to create, to rebuild, and to change the world. Our new shareholders may not have known who was behind Clawshun until now, but that doesn't mean they won't share in my latest vision. I have plans to overhaul the Ride of Steel in Six Flags over Springfield, Massachusetts. But, eradicating this shrine to Superman won't be cheap - it'll take all the money I just made on the Clawshun stock inflation deal. And I made a killing!"

 		Update on Metropolis Stockexchange:

Quote:
Thank you all sincerely for inflating the price of Clawshun Industries' stock portfolio. Unbeknownst to you, CI is a shadow corporation for my baby, LexCorps, and we have some very ambitious plans in store for the Superman: Ride of Steel at Six Flags New England. So, in order to move forward on our construction initiatives, I've cashed out your quarterly returns and pocketed the revenue (I can do that - after all, I own the company).

But, don't let that stop you from collecting your free share of stock below - it's the best way to stay informed of my exceedingly clever plans as they unfurl.

Ta-ta and be sure to visit us at ClawshunIndustries.com

Warmest Regards,
Lex Luthor

 		He really must be an evil genius if he can make a stock's value increase by giving away shares. Luthor for Treasury Secretary!

I dunno, maybe we're in the Bizarro World.

Seriously...... and then he is nasty to the people who played along and signed up for shares of stock. Good job Lex, I'll be sure to keep my eyes on Clawshun after getting ripped off..twice. Rolling Eyes

Yeah it makes no sense to me either. By giving away shares, he is increasing supply simultaneously with demand.

 		I also got the email. I responded to Lex, told him he's my hero, and asked him if there was anything i could do to help.

If you go to the message from the President and put your cursor over his hair, you can erase the hair - he is bald.
