Runner-Up

"It is my pleasure to let you know that you are a runner up in the Steel Hawg video contest."

Awesome.

"Next week, the state will be out to inspect the coaster so that we are able to open the ride. We anticipate the ride to open on July 4th."

Not so much.

I finally get rewarded for one of the many contests I have entered and I don't think I can make it. That sucks. I've never been to an official public opening of a ride before. It is one of my goals to go to one. Guess not this time.

Sadly though, I have the feeling that the only reason I am runner up is because only three people entered the contest to begin with.
