As foretold, I don't have time to talk about pinball stuff tonight; was too busy doing pinball stuff. Also preparing my report on What's Going On In Mary Worth? Has Karen Moy ever met a vegetarian? October 2023 - January 2024 plot developments, so enjoy that please. And then we can go on to walking through the Ghostwood Estates at KennyKon last year. This took place in July, but you'll allow me some poetic license in my song cue subject lines.
Executioner and a partial-body knight that the first time I looked at it made me think of a fortune teller, your classic Zoltar-style thing. I believe that's fake mice in the knight's head.
Can you spot where the car stops and turns around?
Emergency exits, which we didn't venture into. I don't know if these are meant to be used by passengers stalled out (for whatever reason) or if they're just for staff to use at work. Note the body curled up in the wheelbarrow there.
See? Definitely a body, I've seen that before.
And another mannequin body that's set up to launch at you from near these milk jugs. Also another rusty bicycle.
And now from the haunted castle or something area we see the next room, something with a plumbing or mining theme. Oh, but what's that on the right there? Under the bucket?
Er, not this. This is just another look at that old bicycle, which is terrifying because of that old hard seat and the handlebars without rubber grips.
There! That's the thing I wanted to show. Steel Phantom was the name of the roller coaster that, after extensive rebuilding, is now Phantom's Revenge and that's why there's that 'revenge' element in the name. So part of the set decoration is the t-shirt for a gone-but-not-gone ride.
I don't know whether that's a legitimately working circuit breaker box. Probably not, given the huge prop box stunt inside it.
Back to the mines, or pipes, or pipe mines. Not sure what this is meant to reflect in the estate, really.
Ah but now we're on solid ground, finding someone to put underneath the solid ground!
Look up above, it's bats!
Trivia: Christy Mathewson, the first pro baseball pitcher to gain renown for and bring attention to the screwball pitch, denied having invented it. He claimed to have learned it around 1900 from a man named Dave Williams. Source: A Game of Inches: The Story Behind the Innovations that Shaped Baseball, Peter Morris. Trying to find just who did invent it then fades into the swamp of trying to find anyone who did a thing first.
