Matterhorn Photos

Chuck Wagon's avatar

Does anyone have good quality photos of Matterhorn? The ones on this site are all offseason photos.

On a side note, are the photos on this site updated anymore? Pages like this just don't seem to look right.

Those were test albums from our live photo experiment on opening day. We ended up going with Picasa instead.

I'd like to think we still offer high quality images. I mean, the season is young. With all of 11 operating days in the can, I'd say it's a little early to pronounce the PointBuzz photo gallery as dead. I've only made one trip to the park this season, but I think the amount of production and quality from that day was at least adequate.

We weren't able to make an off-season trip work out over the winter, but we offered plenty of new photos leading up to the end of last season:

Plus coverage of special events:

And new attractions:

Plus, we tend to believe that a 36:1 ratio is actually pretty good.

I didn't get a chance to do a lot of "general" photography last year. I've got a fancy new camera and a lighter summer schedule, so here's hoping for the best. If I do, I promise to spend a lot of time at Matterhorn. :)

Not sure if this is what you are looking for...

what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard.
Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it.
I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

Thanks for the links. In particular I'm trying to find images which show that it is a rather steep incline around the walkway, and that the cars swing outwards.

My intent was not to criticize the pointbuzz photo gallery. I think your coverage of new rides, park events, etc. has been excellent. My comments came from finding dummy pages as I linked above and the fact that it is difficult to see what is "new" that is not part of a featured set of photos.

I agree finding new photos is difficult. I'm hoping Jeff (hint hint) can come up with a way to display the newest photos without regard to which album they're in.
