Yeah, I love roller coasters and amusement parks. And apparently so do lots of
other people given the popularity of I believe 4 versions of the Roller Coaster
Tycoon game. And well, the lines at the amusement parks. I sure would love to

Hi Dark,
Yes, thank you, I am glad that you appreciate the added skill level that I
added to the golf game by adding the pressing a key for the amount of power.

I can't imagine writing in the power needed for golf, wouldn't that make the
