Yeah so I got stuff going on. Explaining What's Going On In Flash Gordon? Did Ming and Bok get atom-grenade-blasted? December 2025 - February 2026 for example. But also real-life stuff you'll hear about starting next week, so here, please enjoy a dozen pictures closing out our first, short day at Six Flags America. When last seen we were on the Minuteman Motors Antique Car ride.
Another Minuteman Motors sign, for the Great Race Garage. Great Race was the former name for this attraction, but the ``since 1999'' doesn't make sense as Wikipedia tells me it had opened in 1993.
Running through the forest again, getting back to the station.
It was a grove of bamboo here.
The normal swings ride was called The Flying Carousel, which got ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
bunnyhugger very curious what was so special about it. The ride operators having a lot of fun with their passengers was part of it; they had lively, interactive operators every time we were nearby.
The clock tower was off by several hours and several minutes every time we went past. This picture was from a little past the closing hour of seven pm. Also --- wait a minute. Computer, enhance.
Ye Olde Digital Clock? Really?
Park was closed so we got some views up the main midway again. Fine Furniture seems an unlikely thing to sell at an amusement park but I guess if it works for them, hey.
Funny thing about home style funnel cakes is I have never made a funnel cake at home and have never known anyone who said they did.
Here we're a little more on point, for one of the gift shops.
And here's their Liberty Bell replica, crack side forward. It doesn't look like they copied the text around the top of the Bell.
Curious. You claim to be Six Flags America but I see eight flags, three of them American.
The exit would be funny any normal year but is a little heartbreaking for the park's last year.
