It'll be better with the person next to me in on it.
Be sure you're not looking in a mirror before you start pointing fingers.

So, I guess there's a ride that has 3 riders per row now....
Oh, were you expecting something here?

That is so awesome. The Jenga is particularly inspired. It needs better exposure!

I'm obviously going to have to up the anti. Monopoly maybe... or a Mouse Trap game.

Board games are over done. I think jenga's a good one, but try something more.......vertical.

I'm trying to picture the scenario in which you'd just happen to have chess pieces on you while riding a roller coaster, and then decide to throw them at people. Or perhaps you decide you want to throw things at people from a roller coaster, and settle on chess pieces as being the perfect ammo? Admittedly it would be amusing to see the puzzled expression on someones face when they realize they just got nailed by a rook, but surely there's better ammo to be had. Spawn action figures or Pokemon plushies full of lead shot, for example.

More vertical? Ker Plunk? Maybe something less spiky.

How about a small flat screen and an XBox?

If you could sneak that on a rollercoaster without getting caught. Congrats!

Yeah I've been thinking about that, but it doesn't have to be an XBox and a flat screen, it just has to look like them.

I'm thinking take some digital photos of an XBox, print them out life size then make a collapsible pasteboard mock-up. Same with the monitor. Hide them under your shirt, have controllers in your pockets. Have two people in front holding the "monitor" and "XBox", have the two people in back playing the game.

It's a million to one shot, but it just might work!
