Of course food is a major component of Carnivale, and many of the favourites are back for 2018.
Now that's a good sign...
Jet Rescue attracts a lengthy queue with only one train running.
Carnivale attracts a lot of families, so the kids' area is naturally packed.
Nickelodeon Land always looks great at night.
The CAR NIV ALE sign lights up the front of the plaza once again. Complete with last year's odd letter spacing.
With Carnivale it's best that you don't question what you're seeing, and just enjoy it for all its bizarre mayhem.
New Orleans / Mardi Gras iconography factors very heavily in Carnivale.
Roaming entertainers fill the park.
King Neptune towers over guest.
The plaza is consistently crowded throughout the night, but it's an area worth hanging around in to catch as much of the entertainment as you can because it changes constantly.
There's really no describing the mix of performances you'll encounter at Carnivale. It's overwhelming in all the right ways.
The plaza area is the epicentre of Carnivale, and it's filled with no shortage of performances that are everything from sublime to kitsch.
Carnivale kicks off at 6pm, so the first hour or so is in daylight before fire and light effects take over.
Another ride that's been in and out of maintenance all year, Tower of Terror II is up and running.
Looking down Main Street to the hive of activity at Ocean Parade.
The foyer's bare minimum, Madagascar-inspired theming also won't be missed.
The cinema was given a modest overhaul when it was converted from IMAX in 2011, but gutting this worn down facility for the flying theatre will be no great loss.
Even the allure of air conditioning on a hot summer's day doesn't draw many in for the regular screenings of rather forgettable DreamWorks short films.
