My friend James and I will be doing a fly over when more of the construction is up....not much to see now.

great pictures as always guys.

expecially the panoramic view of the splashdown, i can just see the train coming through that with a giant rooster tail!

I think I speak for all of us when I say those photos are AMAZING.

And they are more than appreciated, that's for sure.

Wow! Diamondback really does look beautiful now with its lift and first hill done!

Sorry for the late reply...but as always, thanks SO much for doing the aerial shots...they are always my favorite.

Thanks for the compliments everyone, hopefully we'll have the opportunity to do some more soon. It helps now being able to use two DSLRs. Awhile ago Dane and I looked into doing a helicopter tour. Has anyone ever seen the prices of doing a helicopter tour? Yikes!

Amazing Pictures. If I had half the photography skills you have.......

I love the flyover pictures, great work Gabe!!

I am a big fan of these tribute videos i love them. This is one is right up there with my all time favorite which everyone knows by now what that is. I miss Wake Me Up When September Ends Though sadly.

I already bought my family passes for next season... YAYYYYY!!!!

Thanks for the great comments guys. I really appreciate them.

More to come this off season guys!

Can you take pics of rides in rehab?

Can you take pics of rides in rehab?

That would depend on the rehab center's policy on cameras and the media. I know at Betty Ford they like to keep camera's out.
