I know there are ones at www.TerraServer.com, but these seemed to have a bit more detail.

The link above will start you off by Mean Streak.

(I aplogize if this has been previously posted as well!)

The problem with those is where is MF? I think the Terraserver ones have at least a year 2000 image with MF showing.

Ya know, something just doesn't look right with MF in that shot. Unless I'm not looking at the right thing, MF's lift hill and first drop are way to gradual. Look at the slope of the fist drop...that does NOT look like an 80 degree drop!

It's just a strange angle. If you kind of tilt your head to the right it looks a little better.

Sorry, I can't get it to look "right". Could this be a manipulated photo?

It doesn't exactly look like 80 degrees.... but that's alright.... Try to imagine what Steel Dragon 2000 would look like....

Man you guys must be geniuses if you can measure an angle on the ground from 1 mile up in the air. Ever heard of optical illusions?

Like this shot? I wonder if someone inserted MF...

It just doesn't look right! The angles are WRONG!

Maybe it's a fake? Looks more like Blue Streak...

Come on! Tilt your head til it twists off!

The pic still ain't right! The drop hill is way off! The cue roofs are there (and right) but why is the hill so off?

I don't buy the "angle is wierd" thing. This seems wierder than that.

Sorry, I tilt my head, back, and neck and it still doesn't look right. Can anyone tell me how to view this correctly?

Just imagine any picture taken from space and see if it doesn't look a little odd...it's real. If you don't like that angle, you could just mosey on over to the official site and look at MF from the webcam...

Stand on your head while someone tickles your ass. It'll make perfect sense then.
