First of all, Happy 4th of July to all my Woodworking Friends and the Force from the Dark Side? Found a Quiz that fits the 4th and decided to see if we have smart woodworkers when it comes to Amusement Parks. Although I just turned 63 yesterday I enjoy the parks alot and am taking my next door neighbor's Daughter who is less fortunate with us to Dollywood for 3 days so she has a chance to enjoy both parks. But here is the web site for the quiz.

http://encarta.msn.com/encnet/features/quiz/quiz.aspx?QuizID=318

I scored 10 out of 10 on this fun Encarta quiz! Can you do better? Amusement Parks Quiz. Terry

I have not been to an amusement park since I was forced to trudge through six flags when I was 8 years old. They seem like a terrible waste of time and money to me.

I know some people enjoy them, so have fun!

Has nothing to do with being smart though.

Thanks for posting quiz Terry, Despite the fact that I lived 15 minutes away from Six Flags in Jackson, NJ I failed miserably The Kingda Ka coaster they have there has to be seen to be believed along with some other totally awesome rides. My younger daughter graduated from the same college as the creator of the Ferris wheel along with the maker of the Brooklyn Bridge and other notable engineers.
