Cedar Point: Sky Ride View of Raptor & Blue Streak

This was shot from a Sky Ride gondola on August 12, 2008 at Cedar Point amusement park, near Sandusky, Ohio. The roller coaster in the background is the venerable, wooden "Blue Streak". The modern coaster in the foreground is my favorite ride in the park, the "Raptor". Lake Erie is the body of water behind everything (Cedar Point is on a peninsula).

This aerial view was taken around 11:40 in the morning, heading from the center of the park to the entrance, a distance of around one quarter mile. The young woman at the end is my daughter Avital.
