you really should not be taking pictures on rides. there are rules for a reason.

These pics wouldn't have been possible with a flash on, so cool your jets. If you use flash on dark rides, you get an over exposed brightly lit mess of a photo. All of these amazing photos capture the correct lighting in the scenes. They weren't flashed.

Just a bit of fun, as an aside... I actually brokeThe Cat in the Hat Ride by taking flash pictures... Oops. I got told off and everything, one of the AAs went a bit weird and the car stopped spinning, but the ride carried on, It didn't stop!! (we were the only people in our car) - the photo wasn't worth it

SO many things on the MK version are broken or inoperable.

Still, I got some good pics from my trip last week. I just need to sit down and fiddle with them in post.

I cant believe the ride just opened and its that far in into despair, well I guess I can believe it with their track record and falling apart mountain.

Only just picked up this thread fantastic photos guys
I have nothing to contribute but have certainly been inspired, might even grab me a new lens to play with:thumbs:
Will wait til Im in the US though as they are usually about half the price.
Great work guys

My wife LOVES this ride and it has become a must do each visit. It's also a very photo friendly dark ride with some great lighting. So partner that with my current set up and it's one of the only dark rides I can get some real great shots at the moment. Now once I upgrade my camera body as well as getting a few new lenses I'm sort of stuck with dark rides.
