And with today's pictures I close out Six Flags America; tomorrow, pictures start ... oh, let's see if anyone can remember that far back. Got your guesses in for what was next on our tour?
Back on the carousel. Here's some of the exotically-colored fiberglass tigers.
My last ride was on a fairly normal-colored tiger.

bunnyhugger enjoying a camel ride. Notice she's got our souvenir cup.
Horse that's brown and horse of a different color.
And your pink-purple elephant.
Got to The Flying Carousel, which was well-run. Also you can see in the background Ye Olde Clock Tower with two different, incorrect, times on two faces.
Late afternoon picture of ... well, the lockers are off-screen to the left. The big coaster in the background on the left is Roar, and on the right you can see The Wild One and Firebird.
And then hey wait a minute! We didn't know we could see a mascot here! Also that Six Flags America had a mascot besides the Looney Tunes characters! So, we got to see Freedom The Eagle.
Look at that, friendly as c_eagle here!
I would have sworn I got a picture of Freedom hugging bunnyhugger but maybe we were too shy for that.
And, alas, we had to get going. Here's the light streaming out over the reentry gate.
As you exit the park you get one more reminder that they have the Looney Tunes license. And with this, we left Six Flags America, and would not see it again.
Trivia: Gemini VIII's Agena satellite, the goal of the rendezvous and docking mission, was qualified for flight the 4th of March, 1966, after four days of a final test series including 22 firings at simulated altitudes of between 83,800 and 114,300 meters. The same day, the Augmented Target Docking Adaptor satellite --- designed as a backup in case Agena could not get to actually working --- was qualified; it would fly when Gemini IX's Agena blew up on launch.
