Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom Pictures
Aug 27, 2006This time we have a rare Sunday update. No, it’s not a day early, it’s actually about a week late. I had some non-coaster related photography stuff (gasp!) that I had to finish up and take care of. So without further ado, I offer brand new Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom pictures. There’s 73 photos of the park to check out there. Some good stuff considering the pathetic shooting conditions. Overcast skies are the worst.
So what’s next? This weekend we’ll be hitting Holiday World, Beech Bend and maybe a little something else. Not a bad way to spend Labor Day weekend…not a bad way at all. Plus, it fulfills my promise to go back and pick up all the parks we missed at the end of last year’s Big Two Week Trip. I do keep my promises - even at the expense of wasting an entire season visiting parks that I should have last year. No biggie, it actually worked out for the best as both Holiday World & Beech Bend feature new-for-2006 coasters and this is a chance to check out the goods…last year would have been a miss. Lots of goodies to come - keep checking back starting next week.
I did some other smaller updates around the site. The travel schedule, amusement park maps and some other things have been updated. Still saving the big fixes for the off-season.
After this weekend we still have BooBuzz at Cedar Point. Once all of this year’s photos and videos and downloads are taken care of I plan on using the winter to clean up the site. Things are a little messy and it’s been bugging me and then we’ll be finalizing plans for 2007. Right now it looks like another two week trip - this time to Orlando. Then there’s the new coaster at Dollywood and the new coaster at Cedar Point and the new coaster at Busch Gardens and Ghost Town In The Sky is trying to reopen next season. So little time so many parks.
At any rate, enjoy the new photos and check back next week for stuff from Labor Day weekend to start rolling in. Also, don’t forget the coasterimage.com Gear - never too late to score some goodies and as always, big thanks to those who continue to pick this stuff up!
Coney Island Pictures
Aug 7, 2006We’re back with another update - and this one marks the 75th park to be added to the photo galleries. So which park gets the honor? None other than Coney Island. No, not the landmark in Brooklyn but rather the equally historical park in southwestern Ohio. Take a look if you’re interested.
Those of you keeping score at home might be thinking, “Man, this is the last of the photos you have from this season, right?”
Technically, yes. There are no new pics sitting on the hard drive waiting to make their way online. So what to do? Hit more parks, of course!
We will be at Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom sometime in the next week, so if you have any particular requests, drop me a line and I’ll see what I can do. I hope to get video of something or other and the usual gazillion photos and have them online shortly after.
Then it’s on to two ‘new-for-2006′ coasters. We’ll be doing a trip to Holiday World to check out The Voyage and then stopping by Beech Bend to score laps on the Kentucky Rumbler. That should happen in early September. Labor Day weekend, perhaps?
But wait, there’s more! In October we’ll be on to Sandusky and at Cedar Point for Halloweekends and maybe a little looksie at that big red coaster they have going up for 2007.
And that doesn’t count anywhere we might stop on a whim between those trips. We’re far from done with 2006 - stick with us, the best of this year is yet to come.
