Griffon

[Chris]

Pictures of Griffon should go here.

 

[kcracken]

These are two of my favorite shots of Griffon that I have taken. They are on my deviantart account.

Down the first drop, taken with my old 6.2MB Kodak camera.

Rooster Tail - I think this is car #2, which has the biggest water splash.

I hate the coaster, but I still have pictures. I didn't take these.

 

[kcracken]

If I may ask, what do you not like about Griffon?

If I may ask, what do you not like about Griffon?

They ripped out a classic to put it in, it is too short, and it is repetitive (Up -> Down -> Inversion x2). The part they have is fun... I guess, but it just doesn't feel finished. Also, the second loop destroyed the secluded feeling on Nessy (there is a huge blue track right outside of the station, while it used to be surrounded by trees). Also, they ripped out all of the trees that used to be there. IMO, they made that part of the park very ugly when they added Griffon.

I agree..cutting down trees and removing yet another "family" ride with the Le Mans Cars. I've got one really cool shot however. Thanks to my wonderfully useless art degree, I can sometimes make a photo have some decent composition. Sometimes... photography was never my forte'. Animation...well, that is a different story altogether. :-/

 

[kcracken]

Swiftman - I do understand. You are right, it has taken a little away, but it's also added. Hopefully they will design the new coaster around the trees over there, too, instead of tearing down so much. I can't recall on the tour if they've planted more trees down there.

Nora - Thanks! And I do love your shots!


Now here are a few more that were taken on that same trip, but by my husband.

Here are some pictures I took today.

The last one looks great.

(Not that the others don't look great, that one just looks greatest.)

I like what you did with the sign on the station. smart.

 

[kcracken]

Man, those are gorgeous, Chris. Very professional. I love the two from the shop with the sign. They should do that on a postcard.

 

[FlyerMiles]

I guess I'm going to go ahead and add a few from my collection of Griffon photos I took this year.

 

[Zachary]

Great pictures! I really like the first one.

 

[kcracken]

Sweet shots, FlyerMiles.

 

[BTT_Racheal]

FlyerMiles-

Really like the 5th and 6th shots. Great angle!

From Christmas Town! I'm in the last car with my hands up in the second picture.

These aren't too bad, considering they were taken with my iPhone. The one with the train is my iPhone background.
