violakat03 Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 I'd love to see everyone's on-ride photos from rides that either aren't there any more, don't have on-ride photos anymore, or something has changed. Like FOF with the horse collars, Adventure Express, etc. I've got one from opening year of FOF somewhere. If I ever find it I'll scan it. Here's mine from Face/Off. And SOB's old trains (I'm in the middle on the left): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon Bombay Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Somewhere in my house I have a photograph of my dad and I riding Adventure Express. It's black and white and they used to take it as you went down the drop following the first lift hill. The photo booth used to be where those miniature race cars are now (are those even still there?). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhantomTheater Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 The Beastie has one of the best cameras to pose for. Though i have never purchased an on ride from KI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DropZone99 Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 I don't have a scanner so I can't post them. •3 Firehawk ones (Some one else bought me them.) •Maverick opening year. •Millennium Force a few years ago. •TTD September 08' •SOB October 2007 •Beastie In like 1990 something. •A water slide in Typhoon Lagoon from about 2005. I'll get a Diamondback one of course. When I return back to my third home park SFOG I'll get one on Goliath. If I go to SFGAdv this year I'll get either El Toro or Kingda Ka.

tigellinus Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 ^^If the location has stayed the same, the El Toro one is very uninspired, although, as a result, "posing" is very easy. The GASM is sideways, which is a little funky! And Nitro's used to be at the bottom of the first drop, which isn't a bad spot. Also, Behemoth's was on the helix and sucked!! A lot of the times the "left"/loading side person could easily get cut off from the shot. If D-back's proposed location holds true (bottom of 2nd drop) that could be pretty sweet!!

This may sound dumb, but...... I don't have a scanner, so I waited for a nice sunny day. I took all of my on-ride photos outside and used the digital camera to take pictures of them. They turned out pretty good. Just a thought for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
violakat03 Posted February 11, 2009 Author Share Posted February 11, 2009 I don't have a scanner so I can't post them. Do you have a digital camera? I took a picture of my TTD picture when my scanner was broken. Tomkatt beat me to my idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goofywdw Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 I have an old one somewhere in my house of my first ride on The Beastie which was also my first real coaster. I used it to put in a book I made in elementary school and I have no idea where it is. Other than that I don't have any on ride photos because we never buy them. Interesting photos everyone!

Oldschool75 Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Ok this has to be one of the 1st years for pics. This is from 1985 I believe. The picture is of my Grandma(RIP Grandma, She left this world in Oct.) and I. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Bombay Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 ^Brian, thanks for sharing. What a great way to remember your grandmother and it's a great historical photograph. Note the flag on the log boat to the right of the logo. In the days before automated cameras if you wanted a photograph they would put the flag on the boat and an employee would take the photograph by hand.

I have a pic somewhere from high school on that same ride, but in all honesty, I havent seen it in years, and may not even have it now....

RailRider Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 After seeing some of these on-ride photos I had to share 2 of my favorite. The top is me on Mean Streak in 1990 with my Dad, at this time I would not ride Magnum. The second photo shows me ridding Magnum with my Dad in 1991, Dad finally talked me in to. He had no idea what he was starting with the first ride on Magnum. Truely where I got my love for coasters. I cannot believe these photos are almost 20 years old.
