I was able to have my annual Italian sausage sandwich, Fiske fries and ride the skyway, swings and bumper cars.  Most of the regular rides were there, along with a couple of new, or at least re-painted wacky-house type walk-throughs.  Apparently the rocket is no longer the \"Time-Warner Rocket\" and is just back to \"The Rocket\", though it does have a few new sponsorship plaques at the base.  I still miss the <i>Steel Building<\/i>: That corner just does not feel right without it.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"..\/pix\/16\/10\/p1360054.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\"
