29yrswithaGApass Posted January 29, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2017 Here are two of mine.... My best friend and I "getting sick" on the Log Flume in 1982. My niece was terrified to go on Kingda Ka for the first time. You can see the fear before the launch (right photo). Before we returned to the station that fear turned to joy (left photo). Needless to say we got right back on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scott Posted February 16, 2017 Report Share Posted February 16, 2017 I still don't get why people do that. Sadly, I chuckled a little looking at those but when someone does on my ride photo with my kids and I can't buy it I don't find it so amusing. I don't find it so amusing when I'm in the park either and I think of the families there with young kids. But seeing them here, funny.

scott Posted March 21, 2017 Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 I thought there would be more postings of ride pictures. My wife has a lot more of my ride pictures on her MAC but I posted 2 I have that were taken when I stopped after driving from a business meeting in Delaware. I've done it a couple of times and I will be doing it again this year when the park is open on Thursdays. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoungPup Posted March 21, 2017 Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 Maybe because people don't want people on this forum to know what they look like, lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well probably a different shirt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougdrummer Posted March 21, 2017 Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 In all my years of existence I have never paid for a ride photo. There have been several rides where I purposely posed in a funny manner just so I could look at it after the ride, but never actually bought one. I have taken many vids and photos of friends and family members on rides over the years, especially at other parks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Kaiser Posted March 21, 2017 Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 I only have 2 on-ride photos from Great Adventure. (And I think only one from any other park) My family has a log flume pic from when I was a small kid, and I have a pic from the first time I rode Ka.

robertleax Posted March 21, 2017 Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 I have an office in my house that has nothing but pictures of us at many amusement parks (Gadv, CP, Hershey, KI, KD, etc...) and most of them are "on ride photos"... I probably have 40 of them in frames with over 1/2 of "on ride photos" I just have to take them out of the frames and scan them. The Gadv ones I have are (i believe..) 3 of GASM, 3 of El Toro, 3 of KK, 2 of TDK, 1 Log Flume, 1 Bizarro, 1 Medusa, 1 Nitro I could have more I have not hung yet.

I have to invade my wife's mac to see how many pictures we have. Since we get the photo pass she takes ever ride photo taken. I think she has the ones I had taken at Six Flags New England.

If I end up getting the Season Photo Pass (only costs $30), I'll be able to save the on ride photos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now with the kids I want them all so the photo pass is perfect. Its a great deal. I will see if the wife has any good ones for me to add to the others..

YoungPup Posted March 22, 2017 Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 Anyone know for certain that it will only work at our park? Really want to use it at America when I go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott Posted March 22, 2017 Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 I'm not sure how long its been an option. I know the first year we had it you got a USB drive and the photo crew would load your pictures to the USB. That might be 4 years ago?

Really want to use it at America when I go I purchased mine at Gadv last year and my daughter and I used it at SFNE in September so yes you were able to (at least last year).

Matt Kaiser Posted March 22, 2017 Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 I purchased mine at Gadv last year and my daughter and I used it at SFNE in September so yes you were able to (at least last year). The passes are slightly different this year. SF previously used a vendor (named DigiPhoto) for all their in-park photographers, which included the photo pass. This year they've moved away from DigiPhoto and are doing photos all themselves. The pass just recently went up for sale on the website, and there is conflicting information. The Great Adventure website says the photo pass only works at Great Adventure, but the other SF parks say it works at all parks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
