It's another mathematics-blog review day, so here's the things run on my less-busy blog this past four weeks:
- How July 2022 Treated My Mathematics Blog: Romania liked me
- Here's the 157th Playful Math Blog Carnival
- Reading the Comics, August 5, 2022: Catching Up Edition
- Reading the Comics, August 14, 2022: Not Being Wrong Edition
Also! Since I've roughly run out of those 1960s cartoons I reflect upon What I Learned From Watching All the 60s Popeye Cartoons. And I still don't know what my next watch-and-review experience is going to be so if you want to nominate something, drop me a comment.
Let's dig back into Canada's Wonderland and enjoy the scenery.
Psyclone and Sledge Hammer, two great swinging rides that we did not even consider going on.
We dubbed this the 'Action Bathrooms' because of the figures with explosion cutouts behind them, and the hazard-tape-like pattern behind 'Washrooms'. We don't know why it's themed like this. Note the working pay phone, too.
Shield horse on the carousel; likely this was where PTC assumed ride operators would start collecting ride tickets from.
Rounding board above the carousel.
The carousel's chariots are 'pulled' by two horses harnessed to it, a move for authenticity that also cuts two horses out of service as riders; note the wrought-iron figures on the poles that makes them impossible to sit on.
The other chariot and its similarly harnessed horses.
Trivia: In 1850 the territory which would become Germany produced about six million tons of coal. Great Britain produced about 57 million tons. Source: The Struggle for Mastery in Europe, 1848 - 1918, A J P Taylor.
