Meteornotes Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 OK, it's been awhile since we've had a photoshop contest here, and I have wisely (I hope!) volunteered to run one. But first, we need a theme for the contest. That's where the rest of you come in. Post your ideas to this thread, and we'll pick one and then get the contest going. For those that have never witnessed one of these, you can review one of the past contests here. These are always great fun, provide us with entertainment, and the winner gets a Bag Of Crap! But no crap can be handed out until we have a theme, so let's see if we can come up with a good one! Thanks! dt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robbalvey Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 How about this for a theme - "X2's special effects that didn't make the cut." Basically this would be YOUR version of X2! --Robb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

socalMAN123 Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Flight Deck. It's the gift that keeps on giving the whole year round. This gets my vote. It sounds like it would provide some entertaining entries. ---Brent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 So far I like: - X2 Special Effects that didn't make the cut - The next stop on Big Mike's Road Show - More Cedar Fair Ride Names Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hercules Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 What kind of new park wardrobe will "Hot Fuzz" try to pull off next? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 ^^ It needs to be a theme that you can adapt to a picture or graphic image and add stuff to in Photoshop. For example this was one of the first ones we did - "Other Uses for the Disneyland Castle" http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=17652 I'm not sure how to visualize the Elissa Bingo or the "how you entertain yourself" theme as a photoshop contest. Any examples? --Robb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downunder Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 ^For Elissa Bingo, I imagine you would take a picture of Elissa and throw in some funny stuff like getting Elissa on a spinning ride and throw in some projectile vomit or putting Elissa in something like the Diving show at holiday world. One Random one I'd like to see is Dolly Parton doing the famouse Elissa north/south pose, unfortunately there isn't a state line cutting through Dollywood. I don't have photoshop so I won't be entering, and would never participate in Elissa Bingo on grounds of conscience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DenDen Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Oh goodie! There hasn't been one of these in a long time, these are always fun! I like the "X2 effects that didn't make it" idea! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillMontu Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Some ideas: Rides on the Moon! Home versions of popular rides (after seeing Erik's video, though this may make a better video contest) Ride ideas that didn't make the cut Cedar Fair (in general, like we did with Six Flags) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raptorcrew2002 Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 How about ride advertisements that failed, or examples of ride/park brochures that should have been rethought? The park maps and brochures have been asking for it… *Light bulb.. rejected new items for it’s a small world’s rehab… Be pretty easy to add some colorful scenes and endless imagination.

Big Mike Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Even though I have no photoshopping skills, I guess I would have to lean my vote towards..... Um... The Big Mike Road Show 2008! That was a good choice Peace, Big Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbadboy Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 ooooOOOOoooo! Small World rehab! That one screams Photoshop! (X2 effects is a very close second.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edboxer Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 A couple thoughts: How about "Loose items floating by" - items that floated/were expelled from someone shirt/jacket/pocket, etc. "Historical scientists get their first ride" Newton on a free fall; Einstein on xcellerator...... "Optional ride vehicles" - gurneys, wheel chairs, hot dog carts.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
