*God* luck?!? :-)
I'm not sure if God had anything to do with it, but I know *way* too much about Kennywood and Coney Island.
How come you didn't mention this quiz? I'm guessing that you missed it somehow:

I got all the answers right to this one, too. Surprised myself!
Thanks for the FunTrivia link, Steve.

Note that question 3 of the Coney Island quiz contains an error. Can anybody besides me guess what it is?

Um... How 'bout 'World's ColUmbian Exposition' rather than 'World's ColOmbian Exposition"? (Part of the "hint" in the question.)
I believe the Expo was to celebrate the 400th anniversary of ol' Christopher sailing across the big pond to "discover" the western continents, islands, etc. Didn't have anything to do with throwing a big party for our South American neighbor, Colombia. And Juan Valdez wasn't the honorary spokesperson.
The Expo was in 1893, which was actually 401 years after the date when Columbus sailed the ocean blue to find a land for me and you. But who's counting? Probably not the native peoples who already lived here.

It was 401 years after Columbus sailed, but 400 years had elapsed. Anybody want to rehash THAT argument again? 8-)

I *knew* somebody would sling that old hash right up here on the plate immediately after I hit send yesterday morning. And, dammit Dave, you did it! :-)
>"Millennium is still spelled with two 'l's, dammit!"
It's also got one 'e' and one 'u'. Eeeuuuuuu.

The other error in question 3 is that the Shoot-the-Chutes was NOT introduced to the US at Coney Island either. There was at least three others constructed in the US prior to Coney Island's.

Cool, I aced it (no pun intended).
I laughed at the one choice for question 14. Kennywood After Dark. Cue the music in Lost Kennywood.
