larrygator Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 ^Thanks, since the park has only been closed for a couple of years, Erieview will be added to the Park Index. I know Conneaut bought the Fright Zone and hopefully Conneaut can turn it around and the Fright Zone can be restored. You don't have a picture of The Brat do you? Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember photos must be .jpg should not exceed 800x600 (Unfortunately, many people have submitted photos that are too large for TPR to use or in pdf form.) High quality photos (not blurry, distorted or out of focus). Lastly, we are not adding kiddie rides or major upcharges at this time, but we are at the point where family rides such: transportation rides, carousels, ferris wheels and bumper cars are being added. And if you have to ability to scan your park maps, feel free to submit those for the years that all not already in the Park Index. Of course any PTRs containing superior photos or entertaining captions and a variety of pictures including multiple rides and areas. (Not just one or two rides/attractions) are always valued. Attention has been given to every previously submitted Photo TR. Don't feel discouraged if we can't include every one. PTRs must be downloaded onto the Theme Park Review server (not Imageshack, photobucket) that way we know a Red X will never appear to be added to the Park Index. Lastly, if you have photos of a different ride that is not in TPR's Park Index, please submit that also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koolkid Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 I have pictures of a few of the UK ones needed, but whats the best way to make them the required smaller size? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larrygator Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 ^Personally, I use Picasa but there are a couple of options. If you do not have a photo editing program such as Photoshop or GIMP on your computer and you are using Windows XP, you can download the Powertoy Resizer from Microsoft here: http://download.microsoft.com/download/whistler/Install/2/WXP/EN-US/ImageResizerPowertoySetup.exe If you need a tutorial on how to use it, go here: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/digitalphotography/learnmore/tips/eschelman2.mspx Additionally, if you have Vista, or just don't want to use Powertoy, you can download Picasa: http://picasa.google.com/ or Irfanview: http://www.irfanview.com/ If you are on a Mac, you can use Preview or iPhoto, which come pre-installed on all Macs.

Koolkid Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Ah thanks very much, I do actually already have Picasa, but how do you resize a picture using it ? Sorry, I'm a bit of a novice :S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larrygator Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 I'm not an expert myself, but see if this works After opening a picture, select "Edit in Picasa". I think depending on your version of picasa/operating system you can do this by right clicking on the photo or double clicking on the photo will give you an "Edit in Picasa" option. Under File on the Drop Down Menu, select "Export Picture to Folder" and select "resize to" "800" pixels. If this doesn't work send me a PM.

Anac0nda Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 It's kinda hard to have a pic of a ride sign from the rides at Power Park Finland, because there really aren't any signs at all. BUT I'm not too sure about that. Some rides may have a sign, I dunno. Anyway, here are photos from Särkänniemi: Kantti x Kantti POV Wave Swinger Here's Taikajoki, or Magic River Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larrygator Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 ^thank you so much for the pictures, excellent. I know that at least 3 of those Power Park rides had signs (Fiesta Mexicana, Mega Drop and Pegasus) as I saw the signs when I was there last summer with TPR, but didn't have a my camera. The signs may have been small but they were there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JEdMc91 Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Well this is my first post lol, but I have watched the forums for a while. I grew up around Myrtle Beach and I see that there are not a lot of photos of the flat rides that were at the Myrtle Beach Pavilion, I would like to see some get put in the photo section of the site.

larrygator Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Well this is my first post lol, but I have watched the forums for a while. I grew up around Myrtle Beach and I see that there are not a lot of photos of the flat rides that were at the Myrtle Beach Pavilion, I would like to see some get put in the photo section of the site. I would have no trouble adding flat ride pictures for MBP. since the park is already in the database. Actually, I'll look old PTRs over the weekend for photos. However, keep in mind the primary focus of the Park Index is the present/future. We want to provide information for those who may be planning to visit a park. We want to give enthusiasts a feel for each park and get them excited about visiting. Populating the database with closed/defunct parks (while good from a historical/nostalgic perspective) doesn't build towards the current goal. It's nice to have but not the primary focus.

larrygator Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 ^Thanks, for some reason I thought the ride was a Rockin Tug. Now anyone who looks it up in the Park Index will not make the same mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillMontu Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 Some ride signs from BGT today I remember seeing Sandstorm in the requests list, but I didn't remember if it was for the sign or the ride. Sign for Stanley Falls flume Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larrygator Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 ^Will - It was both the ride and the sign, if you have the ride please post thanks for the help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillMontu Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 I didn't take any of the ride itself (I wasn't aware that you need pictures of the ride at the time), but I'll keep it in mind for future trips Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
