My brother is an employee in the park, I go with him some days when he has work. Ive been in administration building and all sorts of offices at the park and I always seem to notice these aerial pictures. Does anyone know where i could find pictures like this anywhere like on the internet and what not... And I don't mean crappy google images pics :wink:

You might try rcdb.com and some coaster sites, particularly greatamericaparks.com

I've seen those pictures they have in the office hallways, and they are nice! I always thought the park could sell posters of those pics...

Here's a picture of Shockwave put out by Aerial Perspective in the late 80's/early 90s. AP was run by an ACE member named Wayne Stuber (RIP). You subscribed to the "Coaster of the Month" club and you would get 2 or 3 coaster pics (taken from an airplane) each month.

This was like coaster nerd heaven before the internet.

I sure do miss Shocker. Light years better than what's there now. Note the Yukon Yahoo/Delta Flyer (Bayern Kurve) where Condor currently sits (and not running this year!).

Wow. I've never seen how pretty parks are covered in snow. Of course that's probably because most are closed during winter. lol :P :roll:

It seems like the other side always wins on American Eagle :?
Also, I've ridden Goliath 23 times in one day. HBU? :roll: :P

I know this will never happen, and if it did, nothing would be running, but what if we had a Christmas in the Park?

I believe that the park actually tried that once or twice in the 70s or early 80s.

This gets brought up every time. Yes they did apparently for one year. It was basically just Carousel Plaza. So yeah... :P

Pictures like those are exactly what I was thinking about! I'll definitely keep looking, and that shockwave pic is beautiful!

I don't use Bing, but if you go on their maps, you can get some pretty good aerial shots of the park

This guy's site also has some cool aerial pics.

I was looking at the park on google maps, and I know that nobody really cares, but I saw that on X-Flight they were either beginning or finishing transferring a train onto or off of the track
Just thought it was kind of interesting
