While I had thoughts about the show, it's a little more convenient for me to get through the rest of the Six Flags America pictures before posting them. Also I want to organize my thoughts some. So, sorry ![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
bunny_hugger, but there'll be narrative soon.
A sign for The Wild One declaring that, so far as the park was concerned, they considered it to be the same coaster that opened in 1917.
View from the exit path from the ride, looking back at the station and particularly the operator's booth.
Like many legacy Six Flags parks they have a Looney Tunes section. We rode the Coyote-and-Road-Runner roller coaster in there but this time took a look around with pictures.
Miniature train ride with the Looney Tune you first think of as a train person ... Forghorn Leghorn.
Yosemite Sam's Hollywood Flight School makes sense because ... there was probably some cartoon where Sam was a Red Baron-esque figure? I'm guessing? That sounds like something they might have done in the late 50s or early 60s when the studio was kind of burned out.
Now I know what this looks like, but this isn't all folks, not even of my Looney Tunes section pictures.
Stroller parking's advertised by that one baby from that cartoon. Finster? Something?
Not sure what this building was, but we had the feeling it predated Six Flags's takeover of the park. There's a bunch of signs added to the top that suggest midway fun.
They also had Bugs Bunny's House here and I was curious what might be in there.
Inside there's moulded plastic shelves of canned carrots.
bunny_hugger enters to confirm what I saw in Bugs's home.
And here's the other side of the shelter. You can see the mailbox on top there.
Trivia: After Julius Caesar's murder the Romans, trying to follow the new leap-day-every-fourth-year, would run two common years and then a leap year, bringing the calendar very out of date quickly; however, we do not know with certainty just which years were erroneous leap years. Source: Marking Time: The Epic Quest to Invent the Perfect Calendar, Duncan Steel. See, the Romans counted inclusively, so that, like, ``the fourth year from 2026'' would count 2026 as the first year, and so 2029 would be ``the fourth'' and how did these people conquer Europe? Europe must have been unbelievably easy to conquer is all I can figure.
Currently Reading: The Book on the Bookshelf, Henry Petroski. So I know the past was a different country and all that but for centuries after the creation of books in their modern form factor --- hard covers, identically-sized pages, bound spines --- the spines were kept on the insides of bookshelves? I'm sorry, old timey folks, you were just wrong about this one.
