Hey SSC'ers!

I'm starting a very simple contest that everyone can participate in, even if you're not an active builder. Enter a photo (or a few photos) that you've taken at an amusement park during this month, and then we'll vote on them at the end of the month.

I thought this would be a fun way to see what other people on SSC are up to, and give people a reason to post photos from their amusement park visits! Feel free to comment on other people's photos in this thread too.
 

How to enter:
Upload your photo as a Quick Pic. Post a comment in this thread and embed or attach the photo. Feel free to add a description with your photo or comment on someone else's photo.

Remember, you don't have to have a fancy camera to get a great photo. It's just as much about the content as it is quality!
 
Rules:

1. Must be related to amusement parks or roller coasters
2. Must be YOUR photo
3. Must be taken during the timeframe of the contest (no old photos)
4. Limited to 3 entries per month (try not to spam)
 
Let's see some photos!!

Here's an example entry:

 

 

I made a special visit to Magic Mountain a few days ago just because they were running Batman: The Ride with backwards trains. It was awesome - especially in the back row!

Being in Ohio, I can't really contribute to this contest right now, but this seems like a fantastic idea. Can't wait to see the pictures we take!

I suggest maybe allow photos from 2015 until the weather warms up and parks open in places other than So Cal and Florida.

^ I agree, lots of people live in areas where parks close over the winter.

 

I took this photo last year in November, its the most recent one I have.

^ Whoa, I love long-exposure shots. Do the cars come out of those tunnels into the water?

 

I suggest maybe allow photos from 2015 until the weather warms up and parks open in places other than So Cal and Florida.

That's probably a good call - I always forget that other parks are closed during the off-season.

 

 

So for this first one, let's include any photos you guys took in the past year! Anything from 2015 is fair game.

Yep, nice little pop of air time there before the final splash down. You get soaked on the ride.

I took these pictures of the Boardwalk (Santa Cruz, CA) near the end of last year:
