First, everyone please give a hearty congratulations to [personal profile] bunnyhugger, Michigan's newly-crowned Women's Pinball Champion! More on this story to come.


Second, it's Sunday so you know what that means: I publish 800 words about Popeye and Son for some reason. You can see me Reviewing _Popeye and Son_, Episode 11: Orchid You Not at your leisure. I'll bring it up again Thursday evening.

And now ... a double dose of KennyKon pictures, continuing the walk through Ghostwood Estates. Warning! Secrets get revealed! Also some prop gore so maybe I'll fit this behind a cut just in case you're not up for that.

I wonder what stunt happens if you hit the target for this table. (The target sensor's in the lower right corner, going off-screen.)

Here's a skeleton ready to leap out from the grill between your refrigerator door and the floor!

That piano sure looks like it's ready to have a target on it, right? But there's none that I remember.

Another moving skeleton with doll head here. Also one of the 'portraits' that are actually screens which can do anything and so aren't interesting.


SAM_9453.jpeg

One of a couple of well-dressed figures that look lifelike enough along the trail. I believe he offers just a warning about what's to come, rather than interact with any of the sensors.

I finally thought to look up and discovered there isn't a true ceiling; you just see up into the superstructure's top.

Hey, a wedding feast! This looks like a wholesome display of well-preserved wooden food.

See, this is why I insist on a strong sneeze guard policy at salad bars.

The happily deadded couple dance in front of the broken window here.

[personal profile] bunnyhugger pausing in front of the wedding feast to reload her camera. (I kid. This is a digital; she was re-winding it.)


SAM_9459.jpeg

Moving on! There's another screen showing anything-but-what's-interesting on the right there, beyond the curtains that your car barrels right for.

Another picture looking up to see the studio lights that are, during a normal ride, switched off.
