Some more pictures from the last day of our Halloweekends visit to Cedar Point. A couple of these pictures have been moved around chronologically so that I don't split a little theme across days. Don't worry. Everything more or less happened.

Anyway here's the Calypso. Not sure if the kid in the center is having a great or an awful time.

The exit ramp down from Magnum; it's nicely styled and I don't pay much attention to it.

Here's the station itself, which has these little fingers over it like a Star Trek spacedock.

Here's Troika seen in the way of the sun.

And now finally the Peanuts show is going on! Snoopy's performer is all better again.

Everyone's happy as ... we didn't really get the hang of the show. I think they went trick-or-treating around a Willy Wonka-coded chocolatier's.

Bunch of pigeons all hanging out on one peak of the Coliseum.


P1140641.jpeg

The other peak, however, the pigeons want nothing to do with. I wonder what made one so appealing and the other not.


P1140643.jpeg

We finally got to The Shrieks! Contamination show at the Jack Aldrich theater. It looked about like this.


P1140645.jpeg

Nice thing about the theater is the lights were just right for my camera to understand.


P1140646.jpeg

Costumes were fun too.

Here we go, Shrieks gang, big finale!


Trivia: In January 1678 Le Mercure galant --- the first newspaper to provide detailed fashion journalism --- announced that King Louis XIV had named Mademoiselle Camillat to be the official coiffeuse for all the ballets held at court; the Sun King was a passionate ballet enthusiast.
