People playing chess on roller coasters

That's Nate Jellis on the Loch Ness monster at Busch Gardens, Virginia. They had trouble sneaking the board and pieces on the coaster, and had to tape them on as they were going up.

Clockwise from top left: Andrew Burke, Chris Ranker, Ryan DowlingSoka, and Chance Brown. Jared Meadows and Renea Campbell at King's Dominion.
