Where in the world of theme parks is this? (May 24, 2011 edition)

May 24, 2011, 12:05 PM · It's time to play again. I've cropped a photo from my theme park travels and embedded it below. You tell me the park and specific location in that park, in the comments.

Where is this?

First one correct wins bragging rights. I'll reveal the answer here tomorrow. Good luck!

Update: Someone's gotten it right already. But I won't say whom. Let's add a twist, though. Tell me what the second ride pictured here is. Look very carefully and you'll see it.

Cedar Point

Cedar Point, it is. Thanks for playing!

May 25, 2011 at 9:38 AM · Can I still guess?
May 25, 2011 at 7:33 PM · I WAS RIGHT!!!!!!!
May 26, 2011 at 8:05 AM · I'm too late! I immediately knew it was Mean Streak, one of the toughest coasters around. I'd recognize those wooden struts anywhere.
May 26, 2011 at 8:54 AM · Did I miss something? I didn't see Robert say "Yes, it's Gemini" or "Yes, it's Mean Streak" I think he just said something like "Cedar Point it is!" So I assumed it was Gemini, but Joshua's post above says Mean Streak. I've been to Cedar Point quite a few times, but I can't visualize Mean Streak juxtaposed with Dragster that way. I thought it was Gemini.
