The winner of the Ride Warriors Coaster Weekend photo contest will be announced today at 5:30p on Kings Island's official blog the Kings Island Insider.

I won't get my hopes up, but I'll watch and see.

Too bad I won't be on here at 5:30 to see it.

There is a big red storm with black in the middle of the red, and purple in the middle of the black, and it's heading my way..

in fact I hear thunder now.. seeya! Good luck to everyone who entered!

I wasn't there so count me out. Good luck to all those on here who submitted pictures!

I submitted a photo but have almost no chance to win, but i'll keep an eye out for the winner anyway

Hmm... About time! I doubt I won.

Congratulations Ty!

Sorry, that says nothing to me about being a ride warrior.

Umm... wow? Really?

wow... really??? they picked that? wow! Im sorry....

That pic is ok, not fantastic, I've seen better from some people on here, but it's, ehh, ok.

I agree with Kitten and CedarPointer. If you're going to hold a photo contest, I would suggest that the winning photo is a decent one.

Just my $0.02 worth.

Congrats Ty I'm glad you won.

Heres my entry if anyone wanted to take a look.

I think it's a nice photo.

There's mine.

^I would have voted for that over mine!

I wonder if there was a panel or what to decide this, cause there HAD to be better.

Where were you when you took that photo?

From the Kings Island Insider website:

Mullins photo was selected as the winner by a panel of judges from the more than 200 entries received.

And no, there didn't HAVE to be a better photo. Although, I wish a beter one would've been chosen. Jackson has some pretty sweet pics.

Here's the one I entered.

Well since everyone else is doing it... This is the picture I entered. Not a great picture, and i'm sure the contest was flooded with multiple entries just like it, but I think it looked interesting and it makes a great desktop wallpaper

I know it's huge. If I had any idea how to resize it I would.

Here's the one I entered:

That one would've had my vote, Jackson. The glare from the sun makes the picture look really cool. Heavenly almost.

The photo clearly could have been taken on any date besides the dates of Ride Warriors Weekend.

Why do you guys gotta be hating Ty? He entered the contest and won fair and square. We should be congratulating him.

Good work, Ty!

I'm not saying it's not a good picture. I actually think that it is a very good picture. The only problem is, this isn't exactly a "Ride Warriors" picture. I figured that something would only win if it was clearly a picture that only an exclusive Ride Warriors participant could have taken. (For example, Justin's.) I guess that wasn't part of the stipulations, so I guess I figured wrong.

It was never stated in the rules that the photo had to be of the Ride Warriors activities. Simply that it must have been an original photo taken at Kings Island during Ride Warriors Coaster Weekend.

I think this was a little uncalled for.
