I know what everyone's here to ask about, and that's What's Going On In Gil Thorp? Who was that guy Luke Martinez hallucinated? October 2024 - January 2025 I offer my best guesses in that link, and you're welcome to them. And now to photographs, in which I was returning again to the ground at the end of the sky ride at Camden Park back in June.
Just past that covered bridge golf hole; here's a nice obscured view of that building on the next hole over that's ... I don't know, maybe trying to look like a schoolhouse or something?
Looking down at a light fixture and some of the small objects that people successfully pitched onto it.
Looking to the north, now, at the petting zoo, the swan boats, and the log flume. Also a kiddie swinging-ship ride.
One of the buildings on the miniature golf course and, beyond that, the Li'l Dipper.
Looking straight ahead again. The miniature golf course has what looks like a water wheel over what's ordinarily a pond.
Didn't realize quite how many pictures of Li'l Dipper I took while on the ride but in my defense it's hard to see Big Dipper from the ride.
Another light fixture with stuff tossed onto it. And you can see the stilled water wheel over in the distance.
Here we go, a view south of the sky chair ride. You can see a bit of the Big Dipper in the upper left corner. The Whip is straight ahead on the ride.
Here you can see the parking lot --- the clown sign is just off-screen --- and the main entrance, the carousel building, and the Big Dipper in the distance.
It sure looks like there used to be a ride between the Li'l Dipper and the train tracks in the foreground here, but I don't remember any evidence what it might have been.
Coming up on a women's bathroom (the men's room is a separate building, past it in the upper center of this picture). It seems like a choice to have a skylight in the bathroom under the sky chair ride but it's probably over some reasonably common area like the sinks.
Past the women's bathroom is a covered kiddie ride with a miniature cars ride, I think it is.
Trivia: The clock in Tom Tower, over the main gate to Christchurch College, Oxford, had two minute hands, one showing Oxford time and the other, two minutes ahead, showing Greenwich Time. Source: Marking Time: The Epic Quest to Invent the Perfect Calendar, Duncan Steel.
