thrillrideseeker Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Well in the past couple of months I have taken a few pictures of Top Thrill Dragster, and I thought I would share them with you guys!! Sorry they are not really amazing quality, but they were taken with my iPhone. I really would like to know what you guys think of the photos so feel free to comment them! Now to the photos... ~Matthew Goodnight Dragster! Dragster after a really hard day of work! It is really really tall! It is so tall! The first yellow light just came on! We all know what that means! Now for Dragster at night! This is the thing that makes the train go VROOM, and sometimes it makes the train go over the tower! This is the amazing drop! This is the tower not from the base! This is the tower from the base! Ok... This is me, and I am going to take you on a tour of the tower... Dragster makes me feel short! This is my favorite picture ever! The sad thing is I did not even mean to take the photo! I see an arm in the back! This is the best place ever! How many rollback fins can we count? "Are You Ready?" Now the tower looks a lot smaller! This shot makes the tower look really tall! Ummm.... there are no people... There is the train! Hey... a train just launched! Dragster looks so large compared to the car at the bottom of the picture! Ewwww there are people in the park... Dragster look so small! I see Top Thrill! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bolliger&Mabillard Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 All the photos were pimp, but the best one was when you caught the train going up the top hat with the blurred background. That one is EXTRA PIMP! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

signal Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 I remember you, when I was there in May you were one of the ride ops I had. You were doing the facts spiel. I love the pic where the train is in contrast but nothing else it. Do you ever get tired of "Ready to go" While standing in the station? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastersNSich Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 This is the thing that makes the train go VROOM, and sometimes it makes the train go over the tower! The "sometimes" part was proven when I last went in May... very cool and windy that day! Excellent TR. iPhone photos actually look pretty good, especially compared to what I'm used to with mobile phone cameras. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrillrideseeker Posted July 23, 2008 Author Share Posted July 23, 2008 I remember you, when I was there in May you were one of the ride ops I had. You were doing the facts spiel. I love the pic where the train is in contrast but nothing else it. Do you ever get tired of "Ready to go" While standing in the station? Do I ever get tired of "Ready To Go?" Lets see.... 16 hours of the same 20 seconds of a song... yes... I hate the song, but it still for some reason puts me in a good mood!! Some great pictures. I so loved to ride Dragster during our visit 2 months ago. Arms down ! Haha! I love pushing the "Arms Down" button until everyone in the train puts their arms down. But then some times it just gets annoying when you have pushed the button like 30 times and some dumb ass in the front row is like... "Hey lets ignore the speil and keep our arms up." But in the end I win, and they put their arms down The "sometimes" part was proven when I last went in May... very cool and windy that day! Excellent TR. iPhone photos actually look pretty good, especially compared to what I'm used to with mobile phone cameras. Yeah now imagine the day before the park opened when we were testing the ride and it took 11 launches to get 1 train over the tower. That was just an annoying day ~Matthew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragonskeep Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 I was there for a few days in June last year and had the time of my life. Thursday night I got 8 launches in a row and never waited more than 15 minutes. Dragster at night in the front row is just awesome. I caught a quick glimpse of the fireworks from the top, an image forever in my mind. It was truly one of the most enjoyable times I ever spent at a park. Seeing the pictures brought back some great memories. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ihani Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 I like the picture taken from the base, it looks like the top hat is going to fall on you! Great pictures, especially for a phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeemerBoy Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 You have one good photo in there. The rest are just blurry and/or uninspiring. Larry was being generous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larrygator Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 ^No, I really did capture one picture and put it in the TPR Park Index for Cedar Point under TTD. It's the one from the base, not a great picture, but unique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeemerBoy Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Okay, more generous than I would've been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParkTrips Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Wow, especially for the price, the iphone takes some crappy pics. My modest LG takes better pics.. most of those were not only blurry, but taken at bad times (overcast, dark, cloudy etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBannedKid Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 I've never seen iPhone pictures that bad, though I've only seen pictures taken in California...where there's usually a nice setting. Most pictures suck if you don't keep the camera still... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginzo Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Wow, especially for the price, the iphone takes some crappy pics. My modest LG takes better pics.. most of those were not only blurry, but taken at bad times (overcast, dark, cloudy etc) The iPhone has always been overpriced for what it does. But that's how most Apple products are. You pay extra for it being pretty basically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
