  1. thank you. That is a wonderful game. I will want to set up one of my own maybe during the soccer days. And this is playing talking but what would it be like to set one up for Kennywood park?

    • Kennywood is a good suggestion, but I’ll probably let someone else lead that game…I don’t enjoy rollercoasters and similar rides and so don’t feel qualified to pick which rides would compete.
