At Euclid Beach on the Flying Turns I'll bet you can't keep her smiling
Had a little bit of business on my mathematics blog, so here's the last couple weeks' worth of business. Not enough comic strips, I know, but I'll work on that.

Let's get back to Indiana Beach and enjoy the scenery, now.
This is ... oh, I believe it's a turnaround for the Cornball Express, beside the log flume. There's a lot at Indiana Beach and it's all on top of each other.
Here's Steel Hawg, with the eighth-steepest drop in the world among operating roller coasters: you go down its first hill at an angle of 111 degrees. It's also way off on the end of the park, in some of the spare land they have to expand.
Extremely faded yellow arrows pointing from Steel Hawg back to the main body of the park. Not sure why they need these since you can see the park from where the coaster is, and vice-versa.
Control station for Steel Hawg. The covered console has some kind of screen there.
Looking down at the log flume splashdown, on the left. There's also a small water fountain next to it that doesn't spray water up high or very far; it's just a little decoration is all.
I guess this is the ride photo booth for the log flume. These QR codes aren't for our ride and I assume they're for a default ride. The Overhead Door company caught our eye because they're a Lansing firm and I guess they're proud of their product.
Trivia: A bill to allow the English monarch to switch the country to the Gregorian calendar (``An Act giving Her Majesty authority to alter and make new a Calendar according to the Calendar used in other countries'') was introduced to parliament the 16th of March, 1584 (old style) and possibly reread the 18th, but then vanished without a trace.
