Ride Poses!

The best photo I can remember was on The Beast at King's Island. I had won my wife (at that time girlfirend) a stuffed Kermit the Frog. When it came time for the camera, I put Kermit on my shoulders & was giving him a piggy back ride. It was really funny, his little frog arms were in the air, like he was enjoying the ride too. Everybody that came through the photo stop was pointing & laughing at the Kermit shot. Can anybody top that one?

On MF me and my friends always put our shirts over our heads and then fly by the lines like our shirts got blown over them during the ride.

I always Flex my arms or act like we are trying to push each other out... It's all in fun!

Don't you hate it when you try to say something funny but only YOU laugh?

I posed with my brother for the photo on Mean Streak and we were both grabbing our backs and necks thriving in pain. We were all hunched over and everything.... good times =D

Also, my friend and I did the "sleeper" on magnum, where we leaned to the side, resting on our elbows and acted like we were sleeping. No big deal but I cant look at that pic and not laugh a little =P

The "sleeper" is a boring one... I forget where, but I remember seeing a pic on Magnum of people playing BopIt!

How do you do some of these? Like the BopIt one, how would you get the Bobit game on the ride without ride ops telling you that you can't take it on?

life without danger is a waste of oxygen

One time I stood in line for Magnum (when the lines were about a hour or 1 and 1/2 hours) with water in my mouth, and durning the picture, spit it out like I was throwing up on my friends lap. Another good one would have to be holding my souviner pop cup thing in one hand with the straw in my mouth, and giving the camara the thumbs up with the other hand. After we bought the picture we noticed that all the pop (moutain dew) was at the top of the cup, and some coming out of the hole and well, onto the people behind me. (if your out there, im sorry)

I sometimes wear a wig to make myself look like woman. Then on the ride, I take off my shirt and hold my chest making it look like I am holding...you know. LOL!! Did it once on The Villain and Magnum.

I got engaged at Cedar Point as well...maybe I should have given her the ring for the camera? :)

Well, actually I guess I got engaged at Breakers Express...

I love posing for the cameras. My favorite would be when me and 3 friends of mine were at SFWoA riding Villain and we were all acting like we were fighting each other. I tried to upload it on to my coasterbuzz profile but the file was too big. Also during Coastercon 24 we rode Wild Mouse at Hersheypark 30 times and each time we rode we made weird faces and stuff. Such as playing dead, sleeping, pulling our shirts over our head to make ourselves look like Beavis from Beavis and Butthead, another fighting scene, and we did tons of other things. I was going to buy one of the pictures too but I never did.

I've tried acting like a was just sitting down and as if nothing was happening. It's perfect except my hair was blowing back.

2005: Ride Operations

I have a photo of me and my friend on the Magnum. I had my hands up and I looked kinda bored, and my friend was screaming and holding on. Sometimes I do the sleeping or throwing up poses.

------------------
MF Rides: 23
WT Rides: 5
Magnum Rides: Over 100
Dragster Rides: Hopefully a Lot...

One that I've done with my brother before on Maggie is with him sitting in front of me and me right behind him. He'll act like his hat flew off his head and I'll act like I made a great catch when it flew back towards me. It came out pretty well. Makes me wish I would've bought it.

Just can't live in that negative way... Make way for the positive Day

you think CP would let you wear masks on the ride....like a Beavis and Butthead mask or something like that?

My best on-ride-photo was after I had rode the Incredible Hulk(IOA) about 10+ times and I wasn't acting sick. I was holding it in and my face was slightly pale and green. It was something about the expression on my face that made it so funny.

I forgot to say that I've seen guys do the Cornholio pose several times on MF. Also, on MF there was a huge group of guys (probably Frat brothers) that all had their shirts off. When their pictures popped up, everyone started laughing. What was even better was when their photos all started to disappear because the people in the back started to edit them. :)

------------------
What is most anticipated event of 2003? the debut of Dragster, the release of Metallica's new album, the release of Terminator 3, or the release of Matrix:Reloaded...tough call.

My friends and I filled a boat on Splash Mountain at the Magic Kingdom and we all saluted the cam while looking straight ahead.
