England swings like a pendulum do
Once again, no time. Here's a bunch of Kentucky Kingdom.
A look up at the Ferris wheel; I liked having that obtuse angle for the outermost main supports like that.
Here's the ride-closed sign. I think it was down for the day but couldn't swear to that. You can see Lightning Run in the background.
Clouds rolling in. At this point they just looked good, giving you those pyramids of light and shade.
Here some threatening-looking clouds sneak up on the water park.
The park has a couple of signs like this to explain what kinds of plants you're looking at. Let's see how long that QR code lasts before it points to a dead site!
Back to the Kentucky Flyer for more rides. Here's a peek at the elevator and the underside of the launch station.
More peeking up at the station. The track doesn't go up as you enter the station; that's just the walking path for getting at the train when you're on the brake run.
Peeking at the train from the level of the track. You can see the propeller and the front of the World War II-themed train cars.
And there's the lift hill. The ride's at the edge of the park so you have greenery on one side and water park on the other.
There's the elevated swings that I would keep thinking I might get a ride on. (I did.)
Ride operator at the control panel for the elevated swings. It doesn't take so many buttons, turns out.
Looking up at the elevated swings. I think putting the picture at this angle makes a more interesting picture.
Trivia: After the counties surrounding Fredericksburg, Texas, voted 25 to 1 against secession in February 1861, Unionists got one of their own chosen as the enrolling officer for conscription, who refused to attend gatherings of men who gathered to enlist and refused to give out an office address, preventing Southern recruits from finding him.
