More of not having time to write anything so please enjoy Cedar Point as on the day we dropped in last July.
Resting in the Kiddie Kingdom as it might have rained. We had always thought this building had to have been the station for a train ride or something like that, before its long use as a lost-persons center. Turns out no, it never was. When the Kiddie Kingdom used to be enclosed this was the way you entered and exited, though, which is why it's a substantial building without any particular entertainment value.
The Kiddie Kingdom motorcycle ride where you go around in a small vehicle and hit a buzzer lots.
And the control panel for the station, including the note about what ride an operator here should go to next (Space Age).
Enough of the Kiddie Kingdom; we're back at Blue Streak and ready for a front-seat ride! Soon.
I got to see the sign with the text to read in case of service interruptions, but I couldn't get my camera to take a clear photo of it.
The lift hill and the queue area that normally seems over-ample for Blue Streak. It fills up a bit come Halloweekends.
And here's Cedar Point's Windseeker! Will this be the time I finally ride it?
Yes. Despite the recent rain the ride was going and I chose to take this moment for a ride that proved pretty normal, compared to getting stopped up top like at Kings Island.
Here's what the ride looks like at full height from under the queue's covering.
And I liked this picture of a guy almost trapped between the fence railings up front. Tighten this up and you have a good album cover.
Yeah, like that! Now you have the whole image of the guy not knowing he's confined to a narrow column, and that in-between fences behind and in front of him.
Windseeker exits on this nice view of the back of the Wild Mouse's lift hill, and so you can see the back of the cat who's reaching for a mouse car.
Trivia: On Gemini 4's third day of flight Pat White, wife of astronaut Ed White, besides talking with her husband also passed along some capcom notes to adjust some dials, and the flight surgeon's instruction to drink more water and get more rest. Pat McDivitt, Jim McDivitt's wife, repeated the drink-more-water instruction. Source: Gemini 4: An Astronaut Steps Into The Void, David J Shayler.
