After you make your way around the Little Dipper's figure eight course the ride operator yanks back on the lever lightly releasing the brakes so you can glide into the station, get off and run around for yet another ride.



The next stop for Bond and Allison was Kiddieland's Flying Saucer ride.



The two of them had a blast on it and I really like how each car is named after a different planet.  Yeah it really does not affect the ride experience but little touches like that all add up to make your visit tot he park that more memorable.



Man, Bond is getting big because he has to squeeze to get into the Skyfighter.  I remember when he was about two riding around and around on Holiday World's ride of the same type, the Comet's Rockets and he barely fit in it.  He is getting so big and it just seems like it was yesterday when he was small enough to hold in my arms.  I guess time flies when you're having fun.
