Rock City Pictures, Ruby Falls Pictures
May 13, 2008
As promised, here’s a double-shot of Special Features. Over 50 new photos from Rock City and Ruby Falls have been added in the Special Features area of the site.
You might wonder why I’d added these photos. As you may or may not know, I also like to add pictures of attractions that are along the path to or nearby the amusement parks you might be traveling to. We’re only human and we dig stopping by these places and we figure most of you might too.
The Ruby Falls pictures show just a little of the experience of discovering a waterfall 1100 feet below the surface. It’s a neat tour, but one that’s pretty tough to get pictures on.
The Rock City pictures cover all the major points of a visit to Rock City high atop Lookout Mountain. The views, the rock formations, the gardens - it’s all there in some capacity. Again, a neat experience and lots of photo ops.
We stopped by both places while in the Chattanooga area for Lake Winnie and Sir Goony’s. They’re just a few miles from the parks and it’s a nice way to break up your time.
Enjoy the photos. I’ll be back with the Lake Winnie photos before the end of the week.
New 3D Amusement Park Pictures
May 12, 2008I added a handful of new 3D photos, so now would be a good time to revisit that area of the site if you haven’t lately. Just one of those silly little things I do probably more for myself than anyone else. I do believe I might be the only site on the internet trying 3D stuff.
I’ll have everything else rolling is as the week progresses - special feature galleries from Rock City and Ruby Falls in Chattanooga and the Lake Winnie gallery.
We stopped by Kings Island this weekend and it was the first amusement park visit I’ve made in 7 years and not taken my camera with me - we just rode rides and hung out…what a novel idea!
We’re keeping our eye on the weather for Erie this weekend. Right now it doesn’t look good, but I’m being assured by various folks that the Erie weather is quite fickle this time of year and can change on a moment’s notice. We’ll see. I’d rather have good photos than the first photos. Just another reason to keep checking back this week, I suppose.
That’s all for now. I’ll have more photos up in a day or two.
Six Flags St. Louis Pictures - Gateway Arch Photos
Feb 25, 2008
Our five-year celebration week begins with 92 new photos from Six Flags St. Louis. Lots of goodnees to check out so quit wasting time reading this and go get to looking.
And since we’re already in St. Louis, why not check out the Gateway Arch too? I have a new special feature added as well with a bunch of photos from the Gateway Arch - some good stuff there too. Don’t skip it.
Short and sweet. Check back tomorrow for another new set of photos - probably from another Missouri park.
New Holiday World Pictures, Video & More
Oct 11, 2007Goodies! This time I have new Holiday World Pictures, a brand spankin’ new Holiday World Video and a cool new Voyage Wallpaper that reminds me of an old time postcard image for some reason. Plus, there’s a new Raven Panoramic photo and a couple of new 3D pictures from Holiday World as well. Be sure to check it all out - you can’t go wrong with Holiday World goodness.
I think I finally have all of the real-life business behind me and this should be the first in a string of constant, frequent and numerous updates that will probably last pretty much until next spring. How’s that for a promise?
You also might have noticed more and more pages converting over to the ‘new’ look. I’m putting those out as I get time. Slow and steady for now. Right now the site is a bit of a mish-mosh of recent style changes. It will be slowly working itself out to one consistent style over the next couple of months, so be patient.
Not much else new. We still have one more trip before this season ends for us. I have tons of photos, still more video, a couple of special features and a new 2007 DVD on the way in the coming months. At least 10 ‘Courics’ worth (the right people got that) of material to add, so keep checking back.
And if that’s too much of a hassle, then sign on to the mailing list and we’ll let you know when something worth looking at gets added. Cool?
3D Theme Park & Roller Coaster Pictures
Aug 6, 2007If there’s one thing I’m always willing to do with this website, it’s go out on a limb and take a chance with a new idea. Sometimes they stick around as a popular addition and sometimes they fade away never to be seen again. Time for another one of those kind of ideas.
I gave y’all the heads up a couple of times a little while back and hopefully you paid attention because the first of the 3D theme park photos is now online.
This is just the initial offering. More will be added as I update the site. If you’re interest head on over to the 3D Photos Page and get started. All the info you need to enjoy the images is right there.
I know more than a few of you are itching for a ‘real’ update and that’s not far behind. As I mentioned before, I have a backlog of 10 parks or so to get through and we’re still hitting the parks…and will be for the next couple of months even.
Don’t worry I’ll have a new gallery and video up sooner than later. I’ve already started working on things and just need to get it finished up, organized and ready for consumption. Keep an eye out.
Until then, enjoy the 3D pictures - they’re actually pretty cool if you give them a chance and if you don’t have a pair of 3D glasses laying around (or the wrong kind) then all the info you need to get a free pair is available on the 3D Photos main page. Have fun with it.
