Was browsing through my iPhoto files and found this one. Guess I'll submit it to the ummm, forgotten contest. Hey, it's not exactly a view you see everyday. BTW, they unloaded the passengers from this position when the ride broke down.

As soon as I get my site back up I'll have some to share.
What I do have that I would love to get posted is a 9.5 meg photo/video of Top Gun for you all to see.
Hopefully soon all will be well.

Here's one of my older pics that I took... I haven't seen anybody with this one yet.

^^I didn't know you did track work for ThunderRoad^^

Surley that's how you took that picture... LOL!

[MarkD]

Ahh, bqwfreak I have one almost exactly like that and one from the turn around looking back at the station.
I took it last year on a Sunday morning with the permission of the op at that time. I asked if I could take just 2 pictures, one at each end and she just said, quietly, do it quick, so I did.
Of course for some reason my pics came out as if they were 30+ years old. I must have bumped a setting on my cam but I like they way they turned out.

[bgwfreak]

Yeah loco you found me out.

I've been helping to retrack Cyclone, er I mean Thunder Road. lol

Some of these pics are some really old ones that I forgot that I had on a webpage.

Even the media likes that view. <a href='http://members.aol.com/wecorhsc/TRoad_const.jpg' target='_blank'>HERE</a> is a shot taken in 1975 while TR was under construction.

August 1975? They started building early back then! Great pic.

That's not the same coaster.

It's painted white Thunder Road is a "natural" woody. lol

[coasterdude89]

I never knew that TR had been white, I always thought that it was the natural color like today.

[swampfox43]

^^Yeh, It remained white up until about 1988 and then the gradual change to the "natural wood" look started creeping in.

[coasterdude89]

I'm just wondering, is this contest ever going to officially begin? Most of your pictures are pretty cool, some of which I've never seen the angle that it was taken before!
