I have been using Easy Thumbnails from Fookes Software for a while now. It's freeware and does everything I need. You can select JPEG compression level, folder where to save it, add text before or after the image name, brighten, sharpen, contrast, and rotate the photos. http://www.fookes.com --Luko

I'm eagerly awaiting to see my photo with Bryan, Tex and one more person (sorry, forgot who it was) - when four of us crammed into one car on the Tilt-A-Whirl at Coney Island. I still don't understand how we all fit in there. I know Robb took a picture and video, not sure if anyone else did. --Luko

1995 Eagle Vision, 3.5L V6 Engine, 136000 miles. Made 3 trips from New York to Cedar Point. --Luko Not actual license plate.

Today's park was Kennywood. Our group had morning ERT on Racer and Thunderbolt, followed by coastering on our own until dinner at 5. Last night I broke my camera when I dropped it at TGI-Fridays during the overnight takeover, so my photos were limited by what I could grab with my cell phone. They still came out OK, but I don't have ability to zoom in or out. --Luko Spiderman - new member of the Arrow bus. ERT on the Racer included double rides, so everybody could ride the complete circuit. Last photo I was able to shoot with my regular camera before dropping it on the floor and breaking something. Shot during the Friday's takeover the night before leaving Cedar Point.

Our two day Cedar Point excursion is winding to the end. We had a fun time, even with getting to the hotel at 2 in the morning and finding there's no power to the entire county of Sandusky, followed by the thunderstorm for most of the first day. I slept in, and got my first ride around 5:30 pm. We did manage to make it up the second day. Millennium Force was great as usual, as well as Top Thrill, and Maverick was amazing. Looking forward to Kennywood tomorrow, but not looking forward to 5:45 am departure. --Luko Ron, you know better than to ride Top Thrill at night in the first row. One can't pass a great photo opportunity. Even the general public is enjoying the Millennium Force with their hands up. Second day was nice, with hotel ERT on Maverick. Robb sure seems happy to be there. Most of the first day was rained out. The look of disappointment can be seen! Walking through Hotel Breakers with flashlights during the power outage was very interesting. Robb's daily updates on the bus very always entertaining.

Another fine day at Mt. Olympus, plus Riverview and Timber Falls. Avalanche was running very good even though they had to switch to manual operation due to thunderstorms the day before. --Luko Can't believe they went to play mini-golf with Avalanche right next to them. Behind the scenes look of trip updates from the hotel lobby. This looks like our hotel for tonight! It's all about Brian day!

Our bonus park for today - Little Amerricka! We were treated to a sneak preview of their new woodie - Meteor. Plus a Toboggan coaster, mouse, and a kiddie. Later in the day we had a fun evening at Mt Olympus. Unfortunatelly, our evening ERT was cancelled due to a big thunderstorm in the area. --Luko The toboggan coaster. The new woodie at Little Amerricka opening this Wednesday. Our first rained out evening - Mt. Olympus.

Indiana beach was very fun. They had some wacky signs around the park. I enjoyed the evening ERT on the bumper cars and Den of lost thieves, after they closed Lost Coaster due to rain. --Luko Cool aerial shot from the ferris wheel. Wacky signs. Couldn't make up their mind on the spelling? Is it Tiger, Tig'rr, or Tig'r'rs?

^ Oh, good! Looks like I wasn't the only one amused with the Starburst signs. --Luko

Another great day is behind us. A lot more fun coming up. The Deluge water coaster at Kentucky Kingdom is a very unique and fun ride. How often can one claim to have experienced airtime on a water ride? Definitely a welcome addition to the waterpark. Hopefully more parks start putting these rides in. --Luko I don't really understand the meaning of these signs that are all over Kentucky Kingdom. Is it considered bad luck to stand under the 1 ton weight?

The photo tour of the Voyage was awesome. That ninety degree banked turn looks freaky up close. --Luko 90-degree banked turn on Voyage Camera crew
