Roller Coasting in Iraqi Kurdistan

When someone says 'lets go roller coasting' Iraq is probably the last place you'd think of.  Well, the one thing I learned about Iraqi Kurdistan is that people LOVE amusement parks there.  Be it Mickey, or Chavy Land or some other cute name every town seems to have at least one....and some of them leave keys inside machines overnight ;)
