As you can see, it was pretty empty.
I'm not sure which rides we did that night.

I remember a ride we took on the Big Red Planes and the Big Red Cars with Ken. Too bad I erased the onride video.

Ken, I had a video on my phone that I used to laugh at from the Big Red Planes. I remember Rob and Melissa disappearing from sight when they would lower to the ground and Melissa was declaring that she was the plane driver and the Red Car pilot. Our first time on The Big Red Cars was a nice antique-age car ride.
