GURNEE, Ill., May 28 (UPI) -- Six Flags Great America in Illinois said a man pinpointed as the park's 100 millionth guest was treated to a free pizza and line-skipping privileges.

The Gurnee theme park said Communications Director Katy Enrique stood at the gates Monday to count to the 100 millionth guest, and she landed on James Briggs, who was visiting with his girlfriend, Sarah Brock, the Chicago Tribune reported Tuesday.

Enrique said she tapped Briggs on the shoulder to tell the couple they had won a day of free admission, food, games and line-skipping privileges for rides and games.

"It was actually kind of funny," Enrique said. "He said, 'No thanks.' I think he thought I was one of the Kodak picture people."

The couple were already season pass holders, but they were treated to a free pizza, a giant-sized Batman prize, a caricature labeled "100,000,000th guest" and use of the rides without waiting in lines.
