If you guessed that after going to the Merry-Go-Round Museum we'd return to Cedar Point for the rest of Halloweekends Saturday why yes, you'e definitely picked up on a very well-established pattern here! Thanks!
Steampunkified swan boat, formerly a decoration along the Frontier Trail when they were doing the steampunk-themed walkthrough. Now it's part of the Kiddie Kingdom decor.
Nice light coming in from near the building where Helen Keller gave the speech that inspired the Lions Club to support blind people.
Just a park building? Yes, but one we noticed on a walkway that we really never paid much attention to before. It's out of the way and doesn't lead you anywhere that bigger paths don't, which is why nobody uses it.
But they decorated it for the Halloweekends, such as with this faux-mausoleum.
This is the pathway and yeah, it's just a surprisingly quiet part of the park.
The path even takes time to commemorate a couple of trees.
Here's what ValRavn looks like from that little trail.
And here I emerge from the shade and point the camera that much farther up.
Next, I went and got on the Sky Ride. Here's the queue beneath me.
Almost ready to go Von Rolling!
I started from the far end of the ride, near Corkscrew's turnaround.

Trivia: In the late 17th century China allocated fifteen acres in Canton for the trading outposts of all outside powers, who had to share the small space. The traders also were allowed to stay only six months of the year, departing to Macao for the other half of the year, to avoid suggesting that the foreign powers had any rights to the land they used. Source: Tea: Addiction, Exploitation, and Empire, Roy Moxham. Also among the trading nations there was Denmark which, right? You never hear of Denmark sending merchants anywhere.
