On-Ride Photo

I was just noticing today, that the On-Ride Photo on Dragster has a part on the bottom right, where its all black, and chops off a lot of people's heads. Does anyone know why?

Maybe it's so people can't do stupid things while poseing for the camera and be in your picture so if their picture gets blacked out, they can buy yours.

It all depends on who is buying the picture. Each picture that we print is customized for each person the way they want it to best get who they want in it. Sometimes we move the picture and get the black because the picture is only so big and some times we need that black there so that guest don't get unwanted aspects of the picture i.e. nudity, offencive gestures. We usually show alternative pictures if there is black, but sometime people like the angle with the black in it.

Nudity? Now THAT'S something i've never seen in an ORP.

At Cedar Point you'll find nudity in the photos mainly on Millennium, Magnum, and Dragster. When it happens on Millennium and Magnum it's usually done on purpose. However, Dragster's is 9 out of 10 times accidental. It's those girls that think their tank top will stay perfectly still when they sit in the front seat.

You're making my new summer job sound better then I thought! ;)

I always thought it was part of the checkerd flag.

No, its actually a marketing ploy.

What are you calling the marketing ploy?

I have seen some guy lift up his shirt on Millennuim before. i wasn't on the ride but i saw him, he pulled his shirt over his head going over the hill back towards the station.

I almost had a few "accident's" on the TTD. I keep my hands down now and holding on to my shirt.

That happens a lot more than you would think and actually gets old really fast. I don't personally see what the big deal would be but everyone that does it thinks its hilarious.

I have seen (and heard of) several "accidents" on Magnum's photo, courtesy of that nice pop of air right before the camera. Also got an eyefull going around the first turn on Gemini last summer. (even though there's no on ride photo on Gemini, thought it was worth mentioning. :))

Yeah, I bet all of our little fun things would get old to someone who's there all the time =\

It's just people who have a rush from the coaster and wanna go crazy, and people who also have that rush will think it's the funniest thing ever :D

I noticed that a lot of guys on Magnum would pull their shirts either over to reveal their armpits, or completely off (hey, I've got no problem there ;))
