Best Coaster Picture- Beast has Competition!

Chernabog, your picture would be a whole lot better if the people in the front seemed a little more "thrilled". Look at them, then look at the rest of the train. You'll see what I mean.

That's true. They were there among a group of about 6 people wearing Superman shirts and capes - so, my guess is that they weren't first time, casual riders :)

This is my all time favorite, the one with the orange rocks and MF at night. I have this one as my computers's wallpaper. http://www.virtualmidway.com/rides/millenniumforce_p.asp

I really like this pic of the Coney Island Cyclone - something about the buildings in the photo just does it for me. Then again, I'm a tad biased about this shot ;)

I'm very proud of this picture...I took it myself. VERY hard to time. Nothing really special at first glance but check out Raptor in the backround aswell!

If only it weren't an overcast day......

Well, if we're all going to nominate our own shots, I have to plug this one of Phantom's Revenge & Thunderbolt, and this one of Thorpe Park's Colossus.

This is the most incredible picture that I have ever taken. Please make comments about these pictures. The second one is the best my friend has ever taken.

I also have two extremely cool Flying Coaster pictures, but unfortunately they are nowhere to be found on the internet.

TOGO!

You bet! But, only 2 of those were taken from a FW. #2 was taken from a "Flying Island". #4 was taken from a helicopter. What can I say, I'm a sucker for aerial shots!

These are probably the three best ones I've ever taken: Millennium Force Close-Up, Millennium Force At Dusk, Millennium Force Perspective .

Oh yea, this Wicked Twister shot took 9 rides to get... can you guess why?

Because it took the train nine rides in order for you to get that high on the observation tower?

It wouldn't take nine cycles to get that high, it'd take nine cycles to be on the correct side of the Space Spiral and in a decent position to get that shot.

But if we were supposed to be modest and point out photos other people have taken that I'll just point everone to Joyrides. Still the cream of the crop.

I think this pictures says it all about MF. Go to the Aerial View of MF. It's breathtaking, kind of like hot pockets.

Actually it's not the hot pockets that were breathtaking...

WOOD: It does a body good.

Well, if we're all plugging our own shots, I have to nominate these of mine:

I've got a few fantastic shots from this year, but I haven't uploaded them yet...I have a few absolutely outstanding BGW pics that I don't have access to right now...otherwise I'd nominate them. :)

Actually, Gonchar, a closer look indicates that your picture was taken from a lower altitude. Check out the angle of the top-most horizontal support. Sorry to get technical, but I'm sure someone else would have before long... ;)
