Eight winners will be chosen by online voters and receive four 2009 FunDay passes and an "Adventureland" T-shirt and poster. Eight runners-up, who must be present at 3 p.m. May 2 on the Kennyville Stage to receive their prizes, get the T-shirt and poster. Eight first-place winners, who also must be present at the park, win two FunDay passes, the T-shirt and poster.

One grand-prize winner, chosen from among the eight finalists at the park, gets a 2009 Kennywood VIP Pass for two and a Kennywood Arrow signed by members of the "Adventureland" cast and crew.

Hollywood bosses have given the green light to another new "Star Trek" movie -- a month before the latest sci-fi instalment hits cinemas.

The prequel is the first new venture in the franchise since 2002's "Star Trek: Nemesis" and is due for a global release on May 8. But officials at Paramount already have commissioned a follow-up from Roberto Orci, Alex Kurtzman and Damon Lindelof.

J.J. Abrams (TV's "Lost," "Alias") directed the upcoming film and has signed to produce No. 2. Lindelof tells Variety, "There's obviously a lot of hubris involved in signing on to write a sequel of a movie that hasn't even come out yet. But we're so excited about the first one that we wanted to proceed."

Trailers for the May release, featuring Chris Pine as the new Capt. Kirk and Dormont's Zachary Quinto as Mr. Spock, have been viewed by millions on the Internet.
