Hey, I was just wondering if there were any good spots besides that midway in frontier town, (by CJ's provisions shop), or from the queue line area or from perimeter road ( where you're driving and trying to concentrate on the road with the camera out the window....) :). So just wondering it you know any good spots, because I want to get some good photos for my sister.

The Snake River Falls bridge is an excellent shot. I have a couple of my own that are exceptional from there.

Behind the Pet Farm barn offers a good view of the first drop.

I really like taking pictures on either side of the MF tunnel over the midway. I've gotten some absolutely amazing shots from either side of the tunnel, and its one of my favorite places for pictures, second only to sitting in front of maXair (for me, at least).

Three things you need to fix anything in the universe: duct tape, WD-40, and a hammer. Duct tape if it moves and it shouldn't, WD-40 if it doesn't move and should, and the hammer as the last resort.

Or a train, seriously. I have some awesome shots of MF coming down the hill as I was passing by on the train...granted, its more of a lottery since the train obviously doesn't run the same as MF, but with a clear blue sky, the shots I have from the train really show off the angle of descent and the scale...

You get some nice profile shots from across the bay also.

On the island during the day.

There will be an event in the fall where you'll be able to do that.

Hmmm. A Halloweekends reference or a BooBuzz spoiler? ;)

I have a lot of good angles of Millennium Force. http://community.webshots.com/user/thriller119?vhost=community. Walt and Jeff please let me post my link. I know I was bad in the past, but I don't have any on ride photography on my site minus the skyride.
