Please now enjoy some Cedar Point photos from our May visit, near opening day but not so near that Top Thrill 2 wasn't already down for the season.
Camel asking you to come over and have a talk about this hay-versus-grain diet thing.
``So y'know ... '' they wonder ... ``you do have some grain that you could just ... y'know ... let slip over the fence some?''
Shocked to learn that I don't have any grain or hay or anything, however nicely they ask.
Continuing on the Frontier Trail here's a couple rabbit-shaped candles in the shop that now sells both made-offsite candles and woodwork stuff they don't have time to finish carving.
Some more of the animal figures that all look like they must take some real cleverness to design but that we never felt the urge to buy.
And here's the portion of the shop given over to woodworking that the guy (partly seen on the left edge of the picture) never has time to finish doing, because he has to go ring up candle sales all the time. I don't know why there's a tiny Christmas tree there in May.
Top Thrill 2's second tower here crowding on Iron Dragon's loading station.
From the Iron Dragon queue you get this view looking down the Top Thrill/Top Thrill 2 main drag, though, and the top hat that used to be the lone thing that tall dominating the park's skyline.
Zooming in a little to see the Top Thrill 2 logo at the renovated station.
Little nondescript patch of the park, near the southern end of Corkscrew, that would in a few months hold a ``human crane game'' attraction. For ten bucks they'll put you in a harness and crank you over a pile of plushes or whatnot to grab what you can.
Haven't seen the Kiddy Kingdom Carousel in pictures here in weeks! Someone's on the white rabbit and appears to be taking a picture while the ride's going, which is explicitly allowed on this ride. Not sure any others in the park make a point of saying you may take pictures, although the Giant Wheel, Railroad, and the Sky Ride let you get away with it easily.
Rounding boards for the Kiddy Kingdom Carousel. They're doing well at having all the lights working this year!
