When Sépaq, Quebec's national park authority, announced a huge 50% off sale on annual passes in May, people got understandably excited about the sale... perhaps a little too excited.

The sale launched today, June 1, at 9:00 a.m., and as of 10:18 a.m., almost 100,000 people are in the virtual line-up to score passes, which offer "unlimited access" to the park system.
