Google Earth Scavenger Hunt
Heres a fun little game I came up with when playing around with google earth. In order to play, you must have google earth. Now, the object is just to find whatever someone tells you to. The first person to find it, gets to pick his/her own place for people to find. Now, I'll go first to get this game started, I hope some people have Google Earth so we can play this.

1st Object/Place:
Titan @ Six Flags Over Texas

Whoever finds this first and posts a screen shall pic his/her own for people to find, good luck!

MachChunk you are playing the game all wrong. lol. You have to find it using google and all its high tech stuff. Not plain on RCDB. That would be pointless.

It's attached.

Well, since it's pretty easy to find parks on these things we're gonna switch it up a bit. Instead of just finding amusement parks, let's try to find just landmarks, stadiums, monuments, etc. So, to start it off:

Find the home of my favorite basketball team, Arco Arena.

This game got out of hand, but I want to say that I found a few European parks. One of them, Mirabilandia, was so hard, it took me over half an hour.
