Short shift at work today, so I charged up the camera and headed out to the park. As usual, if you want a high-res pic with a "hidden" watermark (for a background or whatnot), PM me for a request.

LOL HI

Did this once and listened to the usual piss and moaning of GPer's about the restraints.

Got a lap on Batman, the groupers throughout the park today were doing a great job keeping the stations in good order.

Couldn't do this with the old camera...

Had an incredibly comfortable ride on Wolf. If you lean your head forward enough in some areas you get little to no headbanging!

Met up with Ben and a couple of other friends, did Orbit, then headed to Demon. The flames on black train are looking real sharp!

Who let Michael Jackson on Demon? How the hell do shorts get dropped?

Got a lap on Eagle, apparently some people don't understand the concept of standing in the line to the corresponding seat row. Couple of people were standing against the station wall on red side, so thinking they were waiting for front row, we begin to head for 1:3 then they flip because they think we're cutting.

Bucky Battle looks interesting, but I'm not writing home about it.

Apparently nobody can ride Triple Play since the stheek is all red.

The guy seemed to be taking FOREVER to get the ride going. He would shut the gate, start checking restraints, let more people in, then start checking the restraints again. When I worked there I was told not to do this.

I don't know... kinda caught my attention.

Oh, by the way. YOU ARE HERE.

Think they'd clean up the bottom of the top while they're up there painting, eh?

Did another lap on Demon. The lights in the tunnel are actually working again, and it looks like they slightly altered the light cycle.

Did a lap on Bull which was awesome as usual. No pics unfortunately.

Damn-near hurt my neck because we got the car spinning so fast. This was the first time since T2 that I was in pain on an amusement ride.

Got three laps on it, AND an ultra-rare bonus ride after the "last cycle". First time I have ever seen them send one more train after the supposed "last ride". The supervisor came up early, so I wonder if that had something to do with it.

GREAT day! Probably my favorite visit this season. I need to go more often.

Can you do hoodies with the zone Logo kind of like TPRs? That would be nice.

I really like the 2nd Batman in the sunset picture. I want this for my Wallpaper. Can you PM me?

I'm very disappointed that the Space Ship thing is been now used to advertised Mayos. What a huge disappointment. They are not caring about it. :disappointed:

I never get to meet ANYBODY from the Zone including Jon. It seems that no one wants to meet me. Why is that?

When the design is finished it can be put on just about anything.

They are using it as the Rides Training room, they are not caring about it because it will be coming down eventually.

It seems like such an insult that the Shuttle is now being used as a billboard. It'd be different if that was on the side of the building, but it just doesn't belong ON the shuttle. I'm glad I got some good pictures of it last year without all the crap on it.

Jon, that picture with the sunset over the parking lot, could I request a larger version of that?

Bleach - if you want to meet people, post the day before you go or when you know you're going and other people will know. Some of us don't live so close to the park though, so we can't go as often as you do. I'm personally about an hour and a half south of the park, so all my trips are planned.
