Just line up, audition, audition again, perform, win, perform again, win ... After a full day you can win an invitation to try out to be on the actual TV show. (Subject to lots of fine print.)

If you don't want to be a contestant, go watch the show. See your friends of family make a spectacle of themselves.

The Attraction

The attraction works just like the show you see on TV. There are 2 preliminary rounds (not seen) where contestants are chosen for the days shows. There are several preliminary shows and in the evening one final show where the winners from the preliminary shows face off to be the days big winner.

In each show contestants perform, are judged by judges (that's what judges do), and are voted on by the audience. The contestant that receives the most votes wins. (Simple.)

The Big Prize

Every day there is one big winner. The big winner get ... drum roll please ...

A Dream Ticket to a regional American Idol Tryout. The Dream Ticket allows winners to go to the front of the line at the next seasons regional tryouts. (You must meet the qualification rules. The ticket can be transferred if you don't meet the requirements.)

Yes, you could be the next American Idol.
