quote="blumax"]Having been to all the main islands (except Lanai) and visited BOTH the bona fide National Parks in Hawaii as well as several NHP/NHS's, I was incensed at the 2nd Category National Parks question: "How many National Parks are in the state of Hawaii?". NTN totally FUBAR'd that question, claiming there are EIGHT National Parks. Several googled sites appear to confirm this, including
http://www.gotohawaii.com and usparks.about.com. Note that these are commercial tourist websites and not U.S. Department of Interior sites. The National Park Service website
http://www.nps,gov adds confusion, stating 7 'national parks', but listing 8 locations. 'National Park' is a very specific term, designated by Congress. National Monuments, National Memorials, National Battlefields, National Historic Sites, et al are NOT National Parks. The two 'real' National Parks are:
Hawaii Volcanoes NP, Hawaii, HI
Haleakela NP, Maui, HI
The other 'parks' listed include:
Pu`uhonua O Honaunau National Historical Park, Hawaii, HI
Puukohola Heiau National Historic Site, Hawaii, HI
Kaloko-Honokohau National Historical Park, Hawaii, HI
Kalaupapa National Historic Site, Molokai, HI (NHPark per NPS)
Ala Kahakai National Historic Trail, Hawaii, HI
World War II Valor in the Pacific National Monument. Oahu. HI (Was USS Arizona National Memorial)
'gotohawaii' adds Waimea Canyon STATE Park to make eight.
The answer is TWO!!!

Let's try posting this here to see if it gets an apology, or at least a response. It was an incredibly bad mistake in the most important game (Showdown), and caused losses and anger all over North America for people who value National Parks.
