Since the Off-Season photo contest was not started this year, we wanted to do a month long photo contest in February. We will be using most of the rules from the off season contest, but we will NOT tally weekly. Votes will be tallied at the end of the month. It will start on Saturday, Feb. 1st, and the thread will auto unlock at that time. Since there are 5 Saturdays in February you can submit up to 5 photos. 

Rules:

1. Only 1 picture per post. (If there is more than one, the whole post will be removed.)
2. A max of 5 submissions. (Any additional submissions will be removed.)
3. All photos must be your own. (No pictures from websites or any other sources.)
4. All photos must abide by the Terms of Service and all park rules (for example, any pictures taken as a result of trespassing or any that are taken on rides that prohibit photography/loose articles will not be acceptable and will be removed and possible loss of posting privileges.)
5. To make it more fair, please do not post pictures from areas that only employees can get too. (Tour locations from Coasterstock are fine.)
6. No excessive Photoshop edits, filters, or other effects. Some unique and creative edits on pictures are fine. Please avoid anything that entirely changes the picture or that could be considered "cheating" by attempting to overly edit an image. 
7. Pictures can be of anything, as long as they follow the rules above. Amusement park related pictures usually receive the most points, but feel free to post whatever you want. Previous posts here on KIC including other Photo Contest submissions are allowed, although new pictures are highly encouraged.
8. Double posting will be excused in this thread.
9. Only Likes will be counted, not any other emotion.
10. The most important rule: HAVE FUN!

 

The contest will be judged by the members. So if you love a submission, vote for it with a like. You can vote on as many as you want. This will run until February 29th.

 

The winner will get to order a free KIC shirt as their prize along with bragging rights!

Good luck!

First ride on Diamondback May 11, 2019 (only took her 10 years to get there lol), she's a ham

Please remember, even if you are stuck on a ride and take a photo, it is still an on ride photo and is against the rules. 

I will throw my hat into the ring I guess. Here is one of my favorite photos- from 2019...

Diamondback towers over the trees. (Taken from White Water Canyon entrance/exit area)

Awesome view of WF from the IR, December 2019:

Sigh....I wish my NJ/PA trip pics didn't get screwed up. 

Vortex, October 19th 2019

Polar Vortex returns. December 15, 2019.

 The sunset seemed to envelop Vortex from my view in the massive Closing Day line at 7:00.

Riding around the sunset before riding into it.

Incredible Hulk @ IOA, fall 2019.

 

A shot of (IMHO) maybe one of the best additions to Kings Island since it opened...with the bonus of capturing Vortex in the background.  June 2019.
