Raptor Picture at Cedar Point, Top Thrill Dragster Video
Back from Cedar Point and back with some updates. Let’s just start at the top. First, Top Thrill Dragster still had 3 to 4 hour waits over Memorial Day weekend. I don’t wait four hours for anything, so we’ll be heading back later this summer when things should have died down a bit. Secondly, my Raptor wallpaper (the very one you can download from this site) is indeed being used at the Raptor photo booth this year at Cedar Point. I wanted to verify it with my own eyes before I passed the word along. I think this may make coasterimage.com the first coaster site on the internet to have their work seen daily at a major amusement park. Basically, if an on-ride photo on Raptor cannot be shown (inapropriate poses, technical difficulty, etc), then the park shows a “default” image. This year that image is the Raptor wallpaper from our site. The only difference is the coasterimage logo is understandably replaced with a Cedar Point logo. Just another step in keeping our title of “best damn coaster photo site on the internet”. (It’s an unrecognized title we defend mostly in steel cage matches if you’re wondering) Check out this little vidcap I snagged while at the park showing the image in use. Then head over to our desktop area and download this wallpaper for yourself. Special thanks to Mark at Innovative Systems Inc for making this happen.
Finally, and most importantly, the Top Thrill Dragster Video is now online and available for download. Enjoy it. As always take the larger one if possible - the smaller one loses a lot of nice detail. I’ll have TTD pics online in a day or two. I also wanted to thank those of you buying coasterimage.com merchandise. This weekend we had a bump in sales and your support will help keep things like the Top Thrill Dragster video available to all. Pass the word along if you like what you find here!
