dragsterfan420 Posted July 11, 2009 Author Share Posted July 11, 2009 ^^^Yes, I think you're correct to as why no one responded. By the way, DropZone99, those are all amazing. Such great quality and clarity mixed into the great shots of the coasters, etc. It's like I took some Claritin before viewing those pics. I like the pic of Diamondback from WWC exit. Look at my pics on the first page and you'll se I took the same pic just about a year earlier. Please post more! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Interpreter Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 As a certified (certifiable?) train nut, I love that picture! Thanks for posting it!

The Interpreter Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 In the fast reply box, you hit the sixth button from the right (third from the left). Up they pop. See: It is the fifth button from the left on the bottom row in the regular reply box. For hearts, you have to enter HTML code, I do believe: ♥ U+2665 BLACK HEART SUIT ♥ or ♥ or ♥ ♡ U+2661 WHITE HEART SUIT ♡ or ♡ ❤ U+2764 HEAVY BLACK HEART ❤ (may not appear) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terpy, who still LOVED the picture of a Diamondback train Mr. Helbig famously showed during a gathering last off season... I second that. I love trains. Whenever I'm at KI, CP, or other parks with trains. I take time from day to just ride the train. One, because of nice picture oppurtuinities and because KI's train is a real steam engine. My favorite. On another note, all these pictures are awesome. Keep 'em coming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Interpreter Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 ^What did they do!? Six Flags Over Georgia very unwisely converted their authentic steam trains to diesel. Yes, diesel. Yes, converted. Sigh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Interpreter Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Knowing Six Flags, one or more of the boilers needed repairing, and rather than fix these one of a kind items, they took what they believed to be the easy way out. Train fanatics everywhere were livid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragsterfan420 Posted July 13, 2009 Author Share Posted July 13, 2009 Wow. Thanks for the info. I'm truly saddened. I remember riding many steam trains and other locomotives with my late grandfather and that's the reason for my love of trains. He would sad to see the steam train gone too. At least they didn't get rid of the train! When I go to KI I'll take a full circuit POV of the train ride and post it up here for us train enthusiasts. Back on topic, these pictures that everyone's posting are really good. Keep 'em coming! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks My Facebook pals just don't understand why I take so many pics of the park hehe...I suppose some people will never understand an addict's love for the place, or why we find pieces of wood and steel beautiful.
