TPR's Ever Evolving Park Index

larrygator · June 15, 2010

How come you can only pick 5 pictures, and how do you put ccaptions on. OR can you only do that when posting on a forum?

I'm not sure what you mean by the first part of your question. Some rides coasters have less than five piictures, some have more. We select as many quality pictures as are need to showcase each ride.

We rarely put captions on the photos in the Park Index, they have to put inserted manually.

I expect to see a lot of needed photos from those on the UK Trip when you return.

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.
