BiCoastal Kid Posted October 11, 2005 Posted October 11, 2005 Wait, a coaster photo contest in the off season? How does that make any sense?
Wishmaster Posted October 11, 2005 Posted October 11, 2005 I still have some photos of Phantasialand from 1974. I could post them here.
benzo41190 Posted October 11, 2005 Posted October 11, 2005 I wish there would be more game nights.....man that was fun What about a "indoor coaster" or "winter coaster" video contest. You could have videos of stair sledding, or plain sledding, swivel chair rides, ect....... This will be the off season EVER!
smells_like_team_disney Posted October 11, 2005 Posted October 11, 2005 Ooooo, a Retro Photo Contest. I'm definitely down for that. It'll give me an excuse to finally post something worthwhile, since I always seem to lack in that department :? .
Alexander Nagel Posted October 11, 2005 Posted October 11, 2005 How about a Roller Coaster Photo Contest? Similar to the Video Contest, but let's give our Photographers a chance to shine this time! Now that's an idea!
crispy Posted October 12, 2005 Posted October 12, 2005 I think an RCT contest would be pretty fun Also, Random TR's don't worry, I know there will be plenty of those And of course old TR's I still have my state fair TR to do, the problem is I just have to get motivated to do it, no Rattler and all, LOL
Alexander Nagel Posted October 12, 2005 Posted October 12, 2005 How about traveling 630.86 miles for a day at Dollywood? Yep i'm thinking about it, and seeing that I haven't ridden ThunderHead yet i'm probably going to end up doing it.
robbalvey Posted October 12, 2005 Author Posted October 12, 2005 Wait, a coaster photo contest in the off season? How does that make any sense? How does it NOT make sense? You mean to tell me you've never taken a photo of a roller coaster? Now this will give you time to sort through all those photos and pick out the best ones to submit! --Robb
Wes Posted October 12, 2005 Posted October 12, 2005 I saw we kick off Wes unless he promises to update his 41190 site! Personally, I think it needs more pictures of Dio... dt Did someone say Dio?
Meteornotes Posted October 12, 2005 Posted October 12, 2005 ^OK, you get to stay on the island. For now. I expect constant updates. Like a blog. dt
CoasterJunkie Posted October 12, 2005 Posted October 12, 2005 I will throw another vote in for the Photo contest. I got some nice photos that I would like to submit too. Of course Random Photo TR's are awesome too.. All the ideas were great...of course living in FL...I ride all year!!!
tinhead Posted October 12, 2005 Posted October 12, 2005 I saw we kick off Wes unless he promises to update his 41190 site! Personally, I think it needs more pictures of Dio... dt Did someone say Dio? I don't think wes can join in on the retro TR's, as he still listens toDIO a trip report from the late 80's early 90's will seem like todays news to him.
robbalvey Posted October 13, 2005 Author Posted October 13, 2005 OK, so.... - Retro Photo TR's - Photo Contest - RCT/NL Contests And of course - 3rd Annual video contest! Anything else?
tinhead Posted October 13, 2005 Posted October 13, 2005 I have a few retro videos maybe some members have some too.
Meteornotes Posted October 13, 2005 Posted October 13, 2005 I was thinking of posting TRs and photos from our Europe adventure, now that all your photos and videos are posted. Mary took about 1200 pictures, and some of them are really good. Anyone care? dt
phazan Posted October 13, 2005 Posted October 13, 2005 I wish there would be more game nights.....man that was fun What about a "indoor coaster" or "winter coaster" video contest. You could have videos of stair sledding, or plain sledding, swivel chair rides, ect....... This will be the off season EVER! that would be fun to see what people come up with. they could use their creativitiy to find some way to make an ''indoor coaster''. it would be very intresting to watch people do dangerous stunts! 8) i really like that idea.
alpengeist04 Posted October 13, 2005 Posted October 13, 2005 I really like the Retro Photo TR idea. I'd like to see some old photos of Lightning Loops at SFGr.Adv.

Meteornotes Posted October 13, 2005 Posted October 13, 2005 ^Yeah, that's what I was planning on doing. Just have to finish going through all the pictures and preparing the good ones. I figured people might be interested in reading from the perspective from someone that had never left the US before. Well, there was Canada, but you can drive there, so does that really count? dt
coasterfreak101 Posted October 13, 2005 Posted October 13, 2005 Seeing what coasters people can think of would be GREAT! I'd love to do that, maybe we could vote on our favorites!
the_rock401 Posted October 13, 2005 Posted October 13, 2005 How about an NCAA-style coaster elimination tournament? Line up either 16 or 32 coasters, depending on how involved I want to get, seed them, and pit them heads-up, with one coaster ultimately coming out the winner? I know it sounds kinda tacky, but it's an idea. Paul
