    Great Timing! I’ll have to check the app out tonight with my eight grader who is going to Six Flags for the Bigelow class trip tomorrow.

      Hi Andrew,
      It’s geared for middle school-ish aged kids but my 7-year-old likes to play on it. The app is great in that it has a wide range of bells and whistles for almost any age. My little boy would play with it probably much differently than your child, but both would have fun.
