Today with a clear conscience I bring you a bunch of California's Great America pictures. Enjoy!
Woodstock Express --- every Cedar Fair park has one! (I'm joking) (but probably right) --- was the kiddie-est ride we could get on. (Lucy's Crabby Cabbies is kids-only.)
Not sure what the moment was that caused all adults to scratch their head at once but here you go.
Bench sculpture of Snoopy offering you a cookie, the way Snoopy totally would in the comic strip(?).
And here's a nice bit of lawn and picnic area around Planet Snoopy. We sat down a while to rest a while.
And what's within this entrance? Why, the last of the roller coasters we had yet to ride, that's what.
Yes, it's the wild mouse coaster, or as it's sensitively know here, Psycho Mouse.
The track may seem familiar if you're really good at visualizing these things from my pictures. The ride's a twin of the Mad Mouse at Michigan's Adventure, although this one didn't keep going down all day so far as we know.
Michigan's Adventure's Mad Mouse has the queue on the other side of the coaster so we could at least get views like this of the loading station that were novel.
Or an action shot like the car here finishing the out-of-the-station drop and coming to the lift hill.
Realized later that I didn't get a picture of the ride sign, so here's a smaller version of the ride sign.
The exit queue goes underneath the coaster, as at Michigan's Adventure, but unlike our home park's ride the queue isn't covered, so I could get a couple of pictures looking up at the underside of the switchbacks and train car.
