Last season, TOPGUN1993 started a photo chain game. This ended up being a very popular offseason game, so I'm going to copy over his rules (with a few modifications that I felt would be acceptable) and start the game back up for this offseason. It'll help us kill time until we're all riding our new Flying Purple People Eater

Rules:

The post above yours will have three choices of locations in the park one "easy," one more specific "hard," and an extremely specific "expert." Feel free to use unanswered challenges as your own challenges!

If no one responds for over 2 days or so feel free to skip the photo and move on.

Use your personal photos you've taken. No searching the net for photos.

Keep photo locations CURRENT (Not necessarily previous season, but use common sense)

Try to compress your pictures at least a little if you can, for bandwidth sake. Most image hosting sites will take care of this for you.

BE CREATIVE

Your goal is to answer the Expert levels before the Easy levels

Easy: (A basic simple practical location in the park)

Hard: (A more specific practical location in the park)

Expert: (Very specific practical location in the park)

I'll start things off with a challenge rather than a picture.

Easy: A picture taken in Action Zone

Hard: The Graveyard set up in Action Zone to coincide with the Banshee announcement

Expert: A park-approved picture from a normally off-limits location (should be easier than in years past for many of you )

Once any of the challenges have been answered, you must respond to the new challenges placed by the previous poster. Feel free to reuse an unanswered idea, though.

Expert:

Not sure how "current" that is, given how fast they're moving.

Easy: Photo of Diamondback

Hard: Photo of Diamondback's splashdown

Expert: Photo of a train on Diamondback's MCBR

Transmitted from Wild Space via my datapad's DROID brain

Easy: Photo of a ride vehicle from White Water Canyon, Congo Falls, or Race For Your Life Charlie Brown

Hard: That's currently being soaked with water

Expert: With at least 1 KICentral member inside

Easy: Photo of Diamondback

Hard: Vortex looping photo

Expert: Photo of two or more KICentral members in it.

I'm going to use Malem's challenges since he responded first. But, that is a nice picture CP&LERR Fan. I added some clarification to the rules post, in case there was any confusion.

I promise, the ride vehicle is there

Easy: A photo with a coaster train on the lift hill

Hard: A photo with two coaster trains on their lift hills

Expert: A photo with three coaster trains on their lift hills.

CP&LERR, you should probably space out the Easy: Photo of blah blah, because it comes up as Easy:Photo of blah blah blah. Though I think it is a funny error.

Easy. Vortex on the lift that I took while in line for The Beast.

Easy: A photo of Son of Beast

Hard: A photo of Son of Beast coming down

Expert: A photo of Banshee's track before coming to the park.

The photo of SoB's construction may be a bit too long ago to be considered "current". I would personally consider current to be within the last 2 or 3 years. So your first 2 are fine, but perhaps think about changing your third challenge?

No problem, I'll edit it.

I have photos of the Easy and Hard:

Easy: A steel coaster

Hard: A steel coaster in Coney Mall

Expert: A steel looping coaster in Coney Mall with a train in the middle of an inversion

I got plenty of these.

^ I just sat there for the longest time trying to figure out what ride IN stood for before realizing it was merely the word in.

Cool how the Sling Shot ball looks like it's the car for some wild new kind of coaster! Forced perspective can generate some hilarious results.

It has been 5 days. Once again it is time to move on...

Uh, of..not on. On-ride photography is prohibited except on Tower and Train. Nor is it allowed here.
