SixFlagsMasta Posted May 31, 2004 Posted May 31, 2004 Hey, when's the last time anyone say TR:TR's picture booth open? I have only seen it open once the first time i rode back in October of 2002 (or whatever year it opened) Quote
DeLorean Rider Posted May 31, 2004 Posted May 31, 2004 Who knows, I bet not many people bought them. Ive seen many people buy pics on like beast and Vortex and such but Never on TRTR. I never would. Its probably just like a one year thing. Quote
SixFlagsMasta Posted May 31, 2004 Author Posted May 31, 2004 well no one's gonna buy them if it's not open..lol i'd buy one. and maybe if they lowered their prices they'd get more business . i know it doens't cost $8 to print one picture Quote
=Frantic= Posted May 31, 2004 Posted May 31, 2004 I dont recall seeing it opened last year when I went. Quote
dxrunner Posted May 31, 2004 Posted May 31, 2004 It hasnt been open this year and i have rode it twice... so i dont know if its open anymore... I would buy one, but i always buy a picture Quote
PKI_Diana Posted May 31, 2004 Posted May 31, 2004 I dont think Colorvision has opened that booth in over a year. Not since TR's opening season. Quote
StXBomber Posted May 31, 2004 Posted May 31, 2004 The photo booth for TRTR closed after its opening season, most likely due to not making enough money. Didn't photo booth return to FoF the season after TRTR's photo pooth closed? Quote
coasterrz Posted May 31, 2004 Posted May 31, 2004 Yes, i believe that Flight of Fear`s On ride Photo returned last season. However, last season was also the season that they removed the on ride photo from Face Off I believe. Quote
SixFlagsMasta Posted May 31, 2004 Author Posted May 31, 2004 atleast if they don't plan on having the booth open they could remove it. i mean i always get excited when getting off the ride wanting to go see my picture and then i go to find the curtains down Quote
Return_of_Yogi Posted May 31, 2004 Posted May 31, 2004 Well I believe there were many reasons for this closing The Photo, was not very closeup, and you had many people in your shot, also it had to be taken with two camera's in spots and numerous times it cut out the middle man. or woman...... so it wasn't very practical.

PKI_Diana Posted June 1, 2004 Posted June 1, 2004 atleast if they don't plan on having the booth open they could remove it. But that costs money.... and lord knows PKI won't spend it. I mean, look they've left Tiques South sit for years, unused. Quote
beastdude Posted June 1, 2004 Posted June 1, 2004 Hey didn't SOBTom have a pic on his avatar. Tom what did you think of the picture. Quote
coasterbilly Posted June 1, 2004 Posted June 1, 2004 hmm, i remember seeing the booth and i would buy a photo, i think they are loosing money not using it Quote
StXBomber Posted June 1, 2004 Posted June 1, 2004 Remember, you are one person out of many. While there is more than one person that bought pix, there prolly weren't enough people to make a profit. While I too wish they brought it back (I might use my employee discount), I doubt it. Of course, we have been surprised in the past (can anyone say FoF? I knew you could!) Quote
teenageninja Posted June 1, 2004 Posted June 1, 2004 TR:TR picture didn't sell well because most people don't want an onride photo on a flat ride. That and they are very expensive. Quote
coasterrz Posted June 1, 2004 Posted June 1, 2004 Well, there is an on ride photo on the Wild Thornberrys River Adventure and Scooby Doo and the Haunted Castle. Those are both "flats" with on ride photos, although those attractions are more geared to families and not thrill seekers like TR:TR. Remember that Adventure Express used to have an onride photo as well. It used to be located right before the turn into the first tunnel and the photo booth was located where the remote control cars are. They removed AE`s because it old technology (black and white pictures). TR:TR`s photo booth was removed because they weren`t selling enough and making enough money. Rather than tear down the building, it is cheaper to just have it closed until they decide they can make some money off of it. Quote
Airguy06 Posted June 2, 2004 Posted June 2, 2004 Hey, this question was answered, why dont you close this one? Huh?! .... Quote
beastdude Posted June 2, 2004 Posted June 2, 2004 becuase they are being told to chiil out a bit. Seriously, for first timers they aren't really doing a bad job. Quote
SOB_TOM Posted June 2, 2004 Posted June 2, 2004 Actually I found that pic on PKIs website, although I do have a pic of me riding TRTR from back in the day. Right now, I believe that photo booth is being used for storage. Storing what, couldnt tell ya. None of our stuff, I know that much Quote
0-120 Posted June 9, 2004 Posted June 9, 2004 People really don't buy the on-ride picture because the average person doesn't have any idea of what Tomb Raider:The Ride is. However other rides like The Beast you can show off that you went on it. The Beast, however, didn't seem to take a picture of me when I was in the very front. We did it twice and both times we didn't see ourselves up on the moniters. We told the people that they just lost $8. Quote
FamousLastWords Posted June 10, 2004 Posted June 10, 2004 The reasons I think nobody bought pictures here are 1. They looked like class photos-you and 76 other people. 2. Pictures on rides like coasters= you can see what the ride is, Pictures on TRTR= you get a picture of you and the 76 others sitting in rows on the gondola, appearing to be doing nothing. Even if you just got off the ride, you couldn't tell what it was by your picture. There were no hints of what you just rode. Quote
