And now, with the last of my days being too full of doing stuff to write about doing stuff, here's the last of our Halloweekends pictures. We're not out of October yet in my photo roll but we are closer than we've been before ...

Now this is something you never see at Cedar Point: The Derby Dogs stand was open! But since they don't have veggie dogs we couldn't take advantage of that fact.

Are we getting on evening already? There's Siren's Curse in the distance, with Corkscrew in the upper right corner.

Siren's Curse tilting over while the sun sets behind it.

And the vertical position for Siren's Curse. This may look scary but let me reassure you: it is.

Some lovely color on the trees near Cedar Downs.

[personal profile] bunnyhugger takes me for a drive on the Cadillac Cars, lone survivor of the antique-autos rides.

Raptor washed in some golden light.

Tall performer near the Boardwalk area. They would pose for pictures with anyone and I just wanted to admire the tallness.

The Ska-letons performing at the Boardwalk area.

And now, coming to the end of the night finally, a streak of light as Siren's Curse drops down its lift hill.

The Siren's Curse train whips around; the lights change over the course of the ride. Hope that lasts.


Trivia: In 1979 customer-research corporation ViewPoint asked a focus group of Black persons what celebrities they saw aligned with the Filet-O-Fish (a poor seller in Black communities). Respondents offered that the sandwich was like Paul Lynde, Mary Tyler Moore, and Secretary of State Henry Kissinger. Source: Franchise: The Golden Arches in Black America, Marcia Chatelain. The heck is with that question even? (If you can't place Paul Lynde, try and remember the voice of The Hooded Claw on Penelope Pitstop. That guy.)
