I enjoyed more than the passengers I think. I have to go back again.

It sure was. I Loved the expressions from all the passengers.


Great photos but I'm still wondering where your vantage point was? Are you able to say?

Hi EJ I’m not sure if you know where Cedar Point amusement park in Ohio is but the Blue Streak roller coaster winds thru the park and around the perimeter. I took most of my shots from outside the park where a 5’ metal fence is on both sides.I was able to get great angles of the cars coming down from about 50’ high then pass me about 5’ away,go up an incline,disappear make a u turn and come down towards me again. Both directions the cars were close,and I was safe.I’d still be there if I didn’t have to leave.Great place to practice with your camera,the sky would change plus the cars were going 40 mph.The park is right on Lake Erie.

Thanks much for clarifying! I've never been to a park with any such line of sight to a roller coaster. Your images appear to be taken level with the height of the coaster and 5' away...really!!!

It was really great.I’ll look tonight if I have any shots from a distance so you can get a better perspective of my vantage point(I’ll post them for you if I have them). Tom
