I like this. I've always liked roller coasters, and I always felt that they were a kind of art in themselves. Great job capturing this.

A random question, is this a coaster with spinning cars? It looks like one we have around here, except with different colors.

You're welcome!

And I see, it's just that the track seemed similar to the kind of track we have for a coaster at Worlds of Fun called Spinning Dragons. And that's unfortunate that you couldn't ride it, I hope you get another chance to do so!

LOVE coasters! But I really love the angles in this shot, with the oblique grid work and the sweeping curve of the tracks. The high-contrast of the 3 simple colors add to the drama.

Excellent, excellent shot!

thanks so much! it was kinda one of those shots you weren't expecting... i was standing in line to buy my ride pass, looked up and said, "oh" and grabbed my camera. i think those are my favorite shots. serendipity.
