^Why do you even bother to post? I said in the first post that I will post mine later, and I will, between today and Thursday night, with the last day for submissions being Friday. I picked out 12 of my best for the contest. B)

The way the contest will work is I will take the total number of pictures, and divide them randomly into 8 'brackets' if you will. After about 4 days of voting half will be eliminated, and the rest will be put into 4 brackets. Another 4 days of voting, and half will be eliminated. Then 2 brackets of 5 will face off for another 4 days of voting until I am able to narrow it down to 5 pictures for the final vote. This final vote will also coincide with the Carolina Offseason Coasterless Klassic on the 26th. I still have no ideas for prizes.. I could probably get Jonathan to give the winner a custom member title of some sort, but if anyone else has any ideas feel free to express them here.

Oh yes, *BUMP* for anyone else wishing to submit.. :D

Well I have about a 0 percent chance of opening my site in the next month, as I discovered something that could significantly further the amount of time my site is closed, though it will be for the better, trust me. :D But I will unlock the few Carowinds galleries and give you all a small glimpse into what I'm trying to do, but it's by no means everything that will be done.

If you experience problems with any of the linked pictures, just let me know.

I'm going to sneak in an entry at the last minute in my normal procrastinating style :P

I've got my entries at two places - Yahoo photos: (edited this after I reread the rules, so the pics have a direct link now)

<a href='http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/volksy/detail?.dir=7d07&.dnm=92d8.jpg&.src=ph' target='_blank'>Borg's Corkscrews</a>
<a href='http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/volksy/detail?.dir=7d07&.dnm=cae0.jpg&.src=ph' target='_blank'>Cyclone and Drop Zone</a>
<a href='http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/volksy/detail?.dir=7d07&.dnm=50d2.jpg&.src=ph' target='_blank'>Top Gun Flyby</a>
<a href='http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/volksy/detail?.dir=7d07&.dnm=3a19.jpg&.src=ph' target='_blank'>Hurler</a>
<a href='http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/volksy/detail?.dir=7d07&.dnm=ef4b.jpg&.src=ph' target='_blank'>The Man himself - Stan Makita, with his favorite woodie in the background</a>
<a href='http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/volksy/detail?.dir=7d07&.dnm=19a1.jpg&.src=ph' target='_blank'>The Coaster Formerly Known as Scooby Doo</a>
<a href='http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/volksy/detail?.dir=7d07&.dnm=d38d.jpg&.src=ph' target='_blank'>Thunder Road</a>
<a href='http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/volksy/detail?.dir=7d07&.dnm=736b.jpg&.src=ph' target='_blank'>Top Gun - the Dueling Coaster</a>
<a href='http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/volksy/detail?.dir=7d07&.dnm=ad9c.jpg&.src=ph' target='_blank'>Another one of....guess what, Top Gun! </a>

<a href='http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/volksy/detail?.dir=7d07&.dnm=6621.jpg&.src=ph' target='_blank'>Top Gun attacking the Batwing</a>

and the same ones are at:

<a href='http://www.pbase.com/volksy' target='_blank'>My PBase photos</a>

I'm on a trial account at Pbase so those might disappear in a couple of weeks, although I'll probably register that one before then - if I don't forget lol. The same pics are on the Yahoo photos page, but there doesn't seem to be a way to view them in a larger size, so the Pbase shots will be the better ones - but I can't directly link to those until I register.

Good luck to everyone in the contest! Watch out this season, I'm taking the Nikon up to the park a LOT more often :D

P.S Blame Forseer for my ugly mug being in one of his pics, that was NOT my idea LOL
