I see a G-G-G-Ghost!
Or it sure looks like a ghost, I don't believe in ghosts, but that's what it looks like. In the original, see where it says coaster? Follow that tree up at the second floor level. See that white spot. That is a human shape, I can see am arm, hand, upper and lower torso, holding a feather. Yet, its small, has probably perspective issues.
My assumption is, its a platform in the long distance and we are seeing a bit through the branches. There is no other explanation. It could be a white bag or a weird animal. In any case, I cloned it out because it looked stupid there.
There was also a large crack in this with a bit of misalignment.
I couldn't make out what Indian village they are showing/exploiting.
At first I thought this was the front of the park, but I think its the middle. People are looking in all different directions. I think the lake is on the left, the coaster is on the right. Refreshments are straight ahead.
There seems to be a set of twins here, they dressed a like. And there is a guy, the one above the lady in the red dress, who has something in his mouth. I have no idea what it is, but its about the size and shape of a saucer.
