William - Did you happen to get a photo of Peanuts Pirates ride also (the picture I have in the Park Index still has Spongebob on top of it)

coaster_crazy - if you can get those SFDK photos that would be great.

I have now have the Kosmo's Kurves sign and that has been removed from the list.

As the Submission feature in the Park Index is currently being fixed, the best way to currently submit a ride photo is to download the photo into this thread.

Remember photos must be .jpg should not exceed 800x600 (Unfortunately, in the past many people have submitted photos that are too large for TPR to use or in pdf form.)

High quality photos, please (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.

We are also not adding FECs (Family Entertainment Centers) to the Park Index.

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.

Photo in your PTRs must be downloaded onto the Theme Park Review server (not Imageshack, photobucket) for it to be included in the Park Index, that way we know a Red X will never appear.

Lastly, if you have photos of a non-kiddie ride that is not in TPR's Park Index, please submit that also.

Hi Larrygator,

what´s about new Parks? I missed some parks in the park index, until know. Maybe you add them into this wish list, so you can get some pictures of them:

CentrO Park Oberhausen (Oberhausen - Germany)

There is a small spinning coaster credit from Maurer und Söhne and some other attractions... Perhaps I´ll get some pictures of the park for you, if time is permitting.

Hollywood- und Safaripark Stukenbrock (Stukenbrok - Germany)

It´s a small park mixed with old attractions and a small safari area, which you can drive through by your own car or a train of the park. There are 2 small coasters. One old Ladybird Roller Coaster by Zierer and an old vekoma corkscrew coaster.

I won´t visit this park in the next time, but maybe someone in the forum does have pictures of it or is interested to plan a visit for a Photo TR...

I have 2 other parks in mind, but I´m not sure wether they fit in the park index, because there are no coasters. But they are a great family fun, especially if you like those stuff, like in "Geiselwind" or "Tripsdrill" etc. - for example; maybe KidTums would like them:

Kettelerhof - (Haltern am See - Germany) A small park with many play areas, and one alpine coaster

Panorama auerland (Kirchhundern - Germany)

Wildpark with some play areas and one alpine coaster

Holger - There are many parks that are not in the Park Index, I have not written that list because I don't know what is at each of these parks. Maybe in the future when I have time I will do this, but it would take some time.

We would love to see pictures from every park, including the 4 you mentioned, posted by people on TPR. If the TPR Staff agrees that there are enough attractions at the park after members post pictures it will be added to the index.

For example, Menghini just posted a PTR from Magic Land in Greece. I had no idea what was at the park until today and it will be added to the Park Index tonight when I have free time. Connyland, we know it exists but until we have user generated content, we will not add it to the Park Index.

Last summer we added a unique British amusement park without any coasters, so having a coaster is not a criteria to add a park. There just has to be enough rides for adults.

Ledgy · April 26, 2010

Thanks for the information.

What´s about the bigger funfairs? I saw October Fest is listed, which is defenitively the largest and most international known funfair of germany, but there are a few other great funfairs. Are you interested in adding them, too? - So long as there are pictures provided.

I think it might be interesting, but the problem is that they are only a few weeks in the year and the date changes often.

No Fairs. We will add them only if Robb and Elissa visit them. We also occasionally add other odd things that Robb and Elissa do, because it is their site.

Octoberfest is a special exception since it has more Brand recognition than most amusement parks. Also, Robb and Elissa will be there shortly, so adding it to the Park Index helped with their planning a visit in 2010.

We also have Puyallup Fair in the US because it has permanent rides.

Remember we are Theme Park Review not Fun Fair Review.

^^ Themeparkreview??? Where I am... Who are Robb and Elissa What I am doing here...

- Sorry, can´t resist -

I have had a couple of people send me PMs recently about submitting park maps. We would love to add any park maps that are not already in the Park Index. If you have the ability to scan the maps and save as a jpg file then please include them in this thread also. Just be sure to note in the caption the proper year as I want to catalog then properly. Or if you have a lot of maps and want to create your own theme park map thread I can link those pictures to the index. Right now most of the park maps in the index have come from the collections of a few contributors (mainly the other Eric Johnson, Shane and myself) so we would love to see more variety.

Of course I'm also bumping up the list of ride photos and ride signs we still need. If you have photos of the following feel free to submit them. Hey Cedar Point is open, help me get those missing ride signs so I can take them off the list.
