| When we ride roller coasters, which we love to do, we like to pose
for the pictures the amusement parks take in creative ways. This isn't
really original, many
people practice Roller Coaster Picture Art (like our friend Kevin),
but here are our attempts that we were happy enough with to pay the ridiculous
prices for. The first two pics are from Apollo's Chariot at Busch Gardens
Williamsburg, VA, Gina's new all time favorite coaster. The third is from
two years ago on the Loch Ness Monster, also at Busch Gardens. |
 Looking bored
or yawning was something John always liked to do for pictures or while
hurling down steep slopes where other people can see you (the stand up
roller coaster at King's Dominion for example). Renee tried that for this
one, Gina was attempting it but came out looking pensive instead. Mark
was fairly new to coastering and was just trying to survive (but we broke
him this day, he loves it now), and John imitates our favorite villain. |
 It took two
attempts and a little sneakiness to pull this one off. The first time we
tried it, we rode in the front, but our excitement was killed when we got
off and found the flash wasn't working for the front seats anymore. So
we got on and did it again, somewhere in the middle. From left to right,
it's Renee, John, Rich, and Gina. In case you can't tell, we all have knives
and forks and are pretending to eat. HA HA, FUN-NY! |
| Stacy, Ken, and Gina rode the Loch Ness Monster many times on this
visit, and it wasn't long before we were noticing the ride less and less
and planning our photo more and more. This one came out so funny and cute
we just had to buy it.

 Here's
an old picture from the days before we thought of coaster art. Even then
we were posing. That's Stacy, Andy Jewell, Gina and John (pointing). |
 While we were
at Cedar Point, Ginohn played cards on the Magnum coaster. Gina's cards
are unfortunately hidden from view by some guy in front of us. The ladies
behind us probably should have been dealt in for that hand. |
 Another one
that's a little difficult to see without scrutinizing the original. Here,
Gina is about to pummel Stacy, while Kory Heath and John (both holding
fanned dollar bills) place their bets. This one was entertaining for the
riders who were looking at the monitors after the ride. |
