Are you thinking you'll see more of our Cedar Point drop-in? Yes, but not only that: you're going to see the end of it! Yeah, we actually left before the park closed for a change and so we could get back home and to bed around midnight. So here's stuff where we weren't asleep.
View of Troika, between rides, and looking down past the Boardwalk toward GateKeeper. You can see some Midway Games on the right there and in the background are refreshment stands that are never, ever open.
Now there's Troika in flight, and some good silhouettes there. Dodgem, the bumper cars, are in the background. Also in the sky: small bits of burnt Canada.
Now what's this great big white blocky thing in the way? Could it be ...
Yes! It's one of the rabbits on the Kiddie Kingdom carousel!
There's the tan rabbit riding inside of the white rabbit.

bunnyhugger rode the tan rabbit and seems to have identified something she disapproves of. Possibly that we're allowed to take photos while on this ride, which seems at odds with every other ride at every other Cedar Fair park.
bunnyhugger checks the inside of her rabbit's ear for signs of waxy buildup.
And here's the two rabbits, side by side. Can you tell the difference between the white rabbit and the carousel rabbit bunnyhugger didn't know she would be buying when we visited this park?
Last view from Cedar Point. Here's a flower bed made up with the logo for Wild Mouse, which took me altogether too long to figure out when I was there in person staring at it. In my defence, they didn't make the W and S clear enough as I think they were trying too hard to be faithful to the hues of the original ride sign.
Trivia: In 1793, before Eli Whitney's cotton gin went into operation, the United States south exported 974 bales -- 487,000 pounds --- of cotton to England. One year later it exported 1.6 million pounds. Source: Big Cotton: How a Humble Fiber Created Fortunes, Wrecked Civilizations, and Put America on the Map, Stephen Yafa.
