Today my seven-year-old son and I checked on the progress of the new Luna park, set to open this Saturday. On our way to the construction, we rode the Tilt-A-Whirl, and got our only good–if tilted and whirly–view. Luna Park’s main attractions are set rather firmly (very firmly I hope) in a six-foot deep pit, of dirt. There were also mounds of dirt.

Then we walked around to the east. I had little hope of getting some good images, because they spent so much money on site protection. Luckily, a door happened to be open.

No one's poured the concrete yet. Will Luna Park be ready?

My son and I walked around to the north side and stumbled upon a man in an orange vest who seemed to have some authority. He assured us the rides would be ready for the crushing crowds this Saturday morning. I wonder if they will have the concrete guys working day and night. How long will it take before someone believes a mobster is set in the concrete in Luna Park?

We had a real sign of hope as we were leaving. At least this looks ready. Whatever it is.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
