I follow the Instagram account: Coasterides. They post mainly super cool Kings Island stuff, and I wondered if it belonged to anyone here.

No, but can we get a link to the coolness?

Wouldn't it had made more sense to direct message the account rather than making a thread here?

It does look like it's someone who is near the park, So who's coasterides

Well, I wanted to share but am on mobile and was unable to gather a link.

I'm not calling anyone out, but a certain someone is a little suspicious for not contributing to this thread in anyway, even by liking. 

Maybe some self advertising? It's what i first thought. 

Whomever it is doesn't own all of the photos, clearly.  The photo of woman in front of The Beast tunnel is the mother of a well-known Kings Island regular/employee named Al, and he doesn't ride rides, so the (likely) illegal POV photos most certainly aren't his.

 

None the less, it's good stuff.  Some historical photos I hadn't seen before.

Yeah, I don't wanna even follow them in case they ever decide to steal one of my photos.. not that I post Kings Island photos often but..

It's polite to cred. photographers when possible.

It's not just polite. It's the law.

And using photographs without permission? Generally not lawful.

Filming on rides without permission? Same, but, more importantly, potentially very hazardous.

I follow this account on Insta, and must admit it is highly suspect.  Whilst I enjoy the historical value of the photos being presented, many of them appear to be of people's personal snapshots and many questionable on ride photos, that are not only illegal to take, but also potentially endanger guests and employees of Kings Island.  All that aside, I agree...not offering any photography credits bothers me almost as much as the off topic hashtags used to pander for likes and follows. 

Oh goodness, I didn't even think about them stealing photography. [emoji17]
