TPR Photoshop Contest Ideas

OK, it's been awhile since we've had a photoshop contest here, and I have wisely (I hope!) volunteered to run one. But first, we need a theme for the contest. That's where the rest of you come in. Post your ideas to this thread, and we'll pick one and then get the contest going.

For those that have never witnessed one of these, you can review one of the past contests here. These are always great fun, provide us with entertainment, and the winner gets a Bag Of Crap! But no crap can be handed out until we have a theme, so let's see if we can come up with a good one! Thanks!

I say something with Big mike. (shameless plug for the big mike road show, see his thread).

Flight Deck. It's the gift that keeps on giving the whole year round.

^I'll second Ginzo. New Cedar Fair ride names.

Do a photoshop of yourself as what you would look like if you were in ACE.

How about this for a theme -

"X2's special effects that didn't make the cut."

Basically this would be YOUR version of X2!

What you do to entertain yourself during the offseason

Flight Deck. It's the gift that keeps on giving the whole year round.

This gets my vote. It sounds like it would provide some entertaining entries.

So far I like:

- X2 Special Effects that didn't make the cut

- The next stop on Big Mike's Road Show

- More Cedar Fair Ride Names

^How about Elissa bingo, suggestions for the 2008 TPR trips

What kind of new park wardrobe will "Hot Fuzz" try to pull off next?

^^ It needs to be a theme that you can adapt to a picture or graphic image and add stuff to in Photoshop.

For example this was one of the first ones we did -

"Other Uses for the Disneyland Castle"

I'm not sure how to visualize the Elissa Bingo or the "how you entertain yourself" theme as a photoshop contest. Any examples?

--Robb

^For Elissa Bingo, I imagine you would take a picture of Elissa and throw in some funny stuff like getting Elissa on a spinning ride and throw in some projectile vomit or putting Elissa in something like the Diving show at holiday world.

One Random one I'd like to see is Dolly Parton doing the famouse Elissa north/south pose, unfortunately there isn't a state line cutting through Dollywood.

I don't have photoshop so I won't be entering, and would never participate in Elissa Bingo on grounds of conscience.

Oh goodie! There hasn't been one of these in a long time, these are always fun!

I like the "X2 effects that didn't make it" idea!

Some ideas:

Rides on the Moon!

Home versions of popular rides (after seeing Erik's video, though this may make a better video contest)

Ride ideas that didn't make the cut

Cedar Fair (in general, like we did with Six Flags)

How about ride advertisements that failed, or examples of ride/park brochures that should have been rethought?

The park maps and brochures have been asking for it…

*Light bulb.. rejected new items for it’s a small world’s rehab… Be pretty easy to add some colorful scenes and endless imagination.

Even though I have no photoshopping skills, I guess I would have to lean my vote towards.....

Um...

The Big Mike Road Show 2008!

That was a good choice

Peace, Big Mike

ooooOOOOoooo! Small World rehab! That one screams Photoshop! (X2 effects is a very close second.)

A couple thoughts:

How about "Loose items floating by" - items that floated/were expelled from someone shirt/jacket/pocket, etc.

"Historical scientists get their first ride" Newton on a free fall; Einstein on xcellerator......

"Optional ride vehicles" - gurneys, wheel chairs, hot dog carts....

What do you have in your Six Flags ride locker?

I like the idea of redoing a park map.

What about the next coaster / ride from Nantimi

After posting thought of another idea - Design the Alton Towers baby coaster

"Bad ride ideas."

"Odd things to do while waiting in line."

"What statue will Terrance molest next?"

"Jahan on a first date."

"What statue will Terrance molest next?"

Uh Uh. Leave me out of it.

we should do somthing with Big Mike. His huge trip report thread has tons of standard Bike Mike self shots that we can alter fo sure!. Maybe we can have him in wierd places , with people , old ladies in bikinis, whatever...what do you all think?
