Photo TR: Jake checks out the Millennium Flyers on Gwazi

Postby Jakizle » Mon Jan 24, 2011 3:05 pm

So as most of you literate people know, Gwazi opened up on Saturday with brand spankin' new and very sexy millennium flyers. Living in Orlando now, I drove down and met up with Eric and Dave to check them out. Below is our day at BGA! Along the way we met up with my friend Nate and Adam and Adam from GCI. Awesome day!

The GCI guys are very proud of their work! Seriously this ride is now super comfortable (new curved lap bars, padding) and Gwazi is super rerideable! We easily rode 10 times throughout the day.

I just have a Nikon D3000. I swear these are straight from the camera! I tried an Invertalon version, though:

Great Photos! I really look forward to the opening of Cheetah Hunt so we can go down there together to ride it. I also need credit for cheetah chase and the Grover coaster. :b

Jake- Outstanding TR there... those new trains got better press coverage from you than from anybody else I've seen yet.

But WTF? ONLY ONE SHOT OF ANTON'S GLORY there? I'm truly disappointed. Poor Scorpion. No love for her. May the G-ds of Schwarzkopfism reign their terror down on you- and break every new coaster before you get to ride it...

(Seriously, though- Phenominal pics. Excellent job-)

^^^^D3000 is an exntry level DSLR but still a very nice camera indeed. I myself have a Canon Rebel XSi which is their entry level. I've been meaning to get into the photography game but haven't had the time.

I actually rode Scorpion after I put my camera away...so that explains it! I missed some more details about the new trains that I'll have to go back and add! Thanks man!
