Funny On-Ride Photos

Talk about anything that has to do with the amusement park industry here.

This has been on my mind so here it is:

Sometimes on-ride photos turn out really funny. I found this one (pictured below) on Google, but if you have any good on-ride photos that you would be willing to share please post them here!

Do parks kick people out of the park if you show obsene jestures for the on ride photo?

I don't know. Most likely if they saw you sticking up your middle finger for the on-ride photo, I would guess. Or they would just give you a warning.

This isn't really an "on-ride photo" but it is a photo taken on a ride. It is updated every 60 secs.

EDIT: Please excuse my double post.

When people make obscene gestures they blue out the photo or edit some color over the photo. I was riding Raging Bull by myself, and the kid next to me flipped off the camera. When I looked for my pic, it was blued over, but you could still the photo. I think the parks don't really care if you do it, and I'm pretty sure they don't kick people out for it.

Things at parks that I have seen that could've gotten people kicked out or possibly arrested.

1. Flipping the bird(various parks)
2. Mooning the camera(Splashblaster at Magic Waters)
3. Flashing the camera(Millennium Force at CP. The girl could've gotten kicked out, but it was closing time anyways.)
4. Gang symbols.(various parks, but to note Valleyfair!)
5. kissing(various parks, but it is very minor.)
6. Going nude.(Well I never saw this, but I wonder what the on-ride photos looked like on Air during the "one special event" that they held. :wink:

That's all for now.

At GAm is you flip off the bird to the camera, at least last year, they just don't let your photo hit the screen... instead, it's replaced by the ride's logo.

I have no intention to perform obscene gestures on rides. I'd rather have a nice day INSIDE the park.

You won't get kicked out or lose your season pass if your not the one who does the gesture. Your cousin would probably be kicked out and told not to come back the rest of the year. That is if they really care about the gesture. They probably wouldn't do anything though. Everyone tries to find a funny thing to do with the camera and flipping the bird is unoriginal.)

I was with some kids who "flashed" the camera, (does it really count with little 8 year olds?) They wanted to buy the picture but the guy wouldn't let them. I think that that's all they would really do if it was a minor offense.
What you don't understand you can make mean anything.

I have seen all of those done at parks except for 2 and 6. At fright fest in 2003 the monsters on top of the house in new orleans were throwing people beeds for doing stupid stuff. And this one girl flashed them for beads, are they allowed to do that or not?

If my friends were intelligent enough to moon the onride camera and hang on to the boat of Logger's Run, they'd do it.

Sadly they aren't that coordinated and would fall out and die...

well...

the faster you are going the less resistance and object will have when you make contact with it. So if you jumped off the golden gate bridge in to the san fransisco harbor, when you hit the water, it would be like hitting concret.

Its physics.

Plus not every one can swim

Plus the fact that you could miss the water completely and hit the concrete. :D

I was thinking it was only 60 ft high, like most of our water rides.
