You spin me right round, baby, right round like a record, baby

Back in Camden Park, I'm not yet finished with that second ride on the sky ride. Here's what I was seeing there and then.

Looking down at one of the ponds by the miniature golf course, one with a fountain going and I get to show it at a weird angle, which makes this picture art.

Then I thought to look up, and get a picture of the mechanism holding the chair on the wire.

---

Coming up on the end of the track here.

---

And here my chair comes to the wheel that turns it around.

---

You don't actually see the mechanism that keeps the chair securely on the cable here, but you get some sense of what it has to be.

---

Being swung around the ride here.

---

Goofiest flip-book animation here, as I get turned around to head back west again.

---

And now we're starting the long journey back, from the wheel to the long boring straight segment.

---

And moving on out from the turnaround tower.

---

And out to one of the other towers and those wheels that make sure the cable is pointed at the next tower.

---

Back to looking at the ground. You can see the train tracks in the upper right corner, and rides in the upper center. The area in the lower right of the picture looks like it might be an abandoned parking lot, but there's no telling from this.

---

Back to tracking the miniature golf course here. The covered bridge hole over the water is a neat gimmick; I'd like to do that in Roller Coaster Tycoon sometime.
