Well....Ride Photos are the pictures they take of you on the coasters unless your talking about the job then its one of the shops you work in that sells the pictures.

Joe Cool Club is a special club that season pass holders can join. You can read more about it here on the Cedar Point web site.

Track Walks are the inspections that maintenance does every morning to the coasters. Or it could be when the ride ops do their walk to see what is in the low zones (low areas of the ride).

Hope that helped:)

Heh...yeah, pretty much james, unless you really NEEDED to hit that E-Stop, which will be very very rare. I've had to E-Stop Thunder Canyon before though. It was funny. I went to the controls on TC and on the way up, the TL says "Don't touch ANYTHING!" cause if all is going well on TC, you never have to press a single button once the ride is running. I ended up doing the worse thing possible: I hit E-Stop. But I did it for a reason. The whole ride suddenly stopped moving and I had a trouble light. That warranted pressing E-Stop.

As for how they get the guests down on a coaster, its simple. Supervision does it. Or at least, the ride ops do it with Supervision present. They go to the brakes where the train is stopped and manually release the harnesses, and lead them down the staircases under the brakes and back to the station or midway. If the train is stopped on the final brake run, then they walk them up the catwalk to the station. When the brakes are released, the train will slowly roll back to the station.

Hope that answers your question.

actually that was my favorite ride to work, I'd have ppl rotate past me and stay in there for 2-3 hours. Ahh, the bumper boats. I'm gonna miss those little guys.
