America's first roller coaster. This place is also in Jim Thorpe.

Piper headquarters were in Lock Haven, PA. Small plants were located in Renovo, PA (intersection of PA 120 and 144) and at Quehanna (Wychoff nature Area) on the old Curtiss Wright R&D center grounds. The place in FLA will not be spoken of.
My sister and nephew enjoyed their visit last summer.

Bob Logue Honda in Williamsport (home of Little League Baseball and Lycoming Airplane and Car engines) has a great motorcycle museum. I think he would enjoy any Rally visitors........http://www.hondamuseum.com/

Last summer I was in Omaha visiting friends and they took me to the Union Railroad head quarters. I got to spend 2 hours in a train simulater. There was 10 differant situations you could try as you run the train. There was even video looking out the front and side for reality. The whole experiance was way to cool,I love this kind of stuff.

The PRR shops were located in Altoona and the local community built this museum
