Choose: Aiden described his weekend at Thrill Zone Park: riding the Sky Drop Tower; and watching the fireworks show;
Why: The semicolon after "Tower" should be a comma to introduce the nonrestrictive clause ("which lifts riders..."), and the semicolon before "that ended the night" should be removed so the restrictive clause directly modifies "fireworks show." Corrected sentence:
