Joseph and I took his friend Owen out for a canoe ride. We paddled across the lake to the construction site of the new SIP amusement park. The ferris wheel is fully constructed and other rides and buildings are in various states of completion.
About halfway across the lake, Joseph noted with excitement that the roller coaster was running, and there were people riding ! As we got closer and Owen checked through the binoculars, we realized that the riders were not people, but crash test dummies. The coaster is apparently operational but still being tested.
We also watched with interest one of our familiar Suzhou work boats doing some dredging work just next to the amusement park. The boat had a Hyundai excavator on the deck which was reaching overboard to pull muck off the lake bottom and load it onto an adjacent boat. Very interesting.
