Something to do while in line at Six Flags

Six Flags has just announced a deal with Nintendo, in which park patrons in 10 of the chain's locations will face random encounters with Nintendo products between April 5th and November 2nd. 4-person DS "street teams" (though the streets are confined entirely within the parks) will offer DS demos to people waiting in line for rides, and in other locations around the park. Good timing -- we'd rather mess with electronics before the log ride. The "Wii Experience" will return this year as well, with Wii demos inside Six Flags parks.

Six Flags didn't announce which 10 of its 21 parks will have the DS street teams onsite, so, uh, don't go to Six Flags just to play DS games.

How is this going to work? You won't be able to see your screens; out in the sun, even on max brightness, it's still a horrible strain on your eyes, not to mention glare off of those high gloss screens. I'm assuming most Six Flags are mostly outdoor events, I've only been to Six Flags Astroworld though (R.I.P. Texas Cyclone), so maybe I'm misinformed.
