Have your Mom call the Mom who will be supervising.
Don't tell your Mom it's a date. Tell her you are going with some friends and a parent.

Put yourself in your mums shoes. Now write all the fors and against. Make sure you have an answer for all the against points. Then pitch your argument to her in a responsible and mature manner. If she refuses don't throw a fit. Firstly because if you act a little sad that you couldn't go (Don't go too over the top and don't blame her etc remember your dignity!) Your mum might reconsider OR secondly, when another opportunity happens like this she might think about how mature you were this time.
Another good thing is if your mother meets this adult superviser or one of your friends.
Don't worry if you can't go, its not the end of the world. You should think about how much your mother cares for you as not to let you go on a trip with people she doesn't know but then again if you can go then hooray you got what you want.

Realize that reasons such as "I really want to" and "everyone else is doing it" never ever ever work on parents.
What you need to do is provide reasons that show your maturity and responsibility. That is what parents want to hear, and that is what will impress and influence them the most.
So tell your mom that (the name of adult who will be supervising you) has invited you to go the Six Flags with a couple other kids. Let her know the names of the other kids. Emphasize that the mom will be with you the whole day, and promise to call your mom immediately if you get separated from the group or anything else happens to you. Promise to finish all your homework and chores before you leave for the park, and make sure you make good on your promise.

I got out of this problem when I was 14 in two ways--the boy called my mother and explained what the situation was going to be and then said that his mother was right there and would love to answer any questions or concerns, and have his mom be friendly and comfort your mom! It works!

My mom was the same way. she would always say NO! so one day I told her "Mom why don't you trust me, No you don't. and it hurts me. he's just a friend. I'm not going to have sex." she kept saying no so I finally said "MOM! If you dont trust me with a boy then dont trust me with my friends that are girls because I could be a lesbian" LOL it was really funny so she let me hang with the boy. Parents are really over protetive when it comes to their young teen daughters. If it makes her feel comfortable let her talk the boy mom and tell her its a day to have fun in with your friends

Just ask her nicely and say you'll do some chores or something. Then, hand her a peice of paper with the mothers name and number for her to call.
Better yet, have the Mom call your Mom and ask her if it's ok.
Good luck,

Ask your mom to go with you guys. She can hang out with the other mom while you and your friends ride the rides.

I'm sorry. I'm a mom. Don't hate me, but "Mom knows Best".
I understand missing out on a good thing....but there will be MANY, MANY more good things. Ya gotta trust your mom's judgement.

Tell her about it, have her speak with the other mother, or if all else fails, invite her... it will give the other mom someone to hang with too.
