I did not intend the whole week on my humor blog to be ``In Which --- '' posts and yet here we are. That here is, to be specific, there:

And now my there is Cedar Point and my now is then, which is the last Sunday of October, and the pictures are these:

Some of the center columns of that swing ride. I always loved these as a kid and still enjoy them.


SAM_2926.jpeg

The swing ride by night, and its reflection in the Blurry Universe.


SAM_2929.jpeg

Walking along the Frontier Trail by night. Since it's Sunday they weren't haunting it but there's still spooky settings like the outhouse.


SAM_2932.jpeg

Wouldn't be Cedar Point if we didn't stop in at Blue Streak for an evening ride.


SAM_2933.jpeg

Blue Streak's lift hill by night. It was starting to rain. I like the spotlight effects of the raindrops on my lens. [personal profile] bunnyhugger hates them and wants me to clean my lens off, like, right now.

Rock monster animatronic, once more caught between performances.

And now to the Kiddy Kingdom Carousel. The replica haunted horse is on the right.

Bear and bear-cosplaying-as-a-panda on the Kiddy Kingdom carousel.

One of the umbrella rides in the Kiddy Kingdom, plus the lights of the Coliseum arcade.


SAM_2950.jpeg

Oh hey, it's Stitch as a gargoyle, that's fun!


SAM_2951.jpeg

The Giant Wheel and the lights of Dodgem, which sure looks like it's closed for the night, doesn't it?

Calypso, formerly Tiki Twirl, formerly formerly Calypso, as the rain makes the ground look all cinematographic.
