Your most photographed ride

HeartlineCoaster

Theme Park Superhero
I've been occupying myself with the restructuring of all my cred photo folders over the last few days in anticipation of a future project (and punching some numbers into my spreadsheet while i'm at it). So let's have some fun with that.
The total came in at 9374 pics of rollercoasters, putting me just under 10 a cred. There were some lapsed moments in there, particularly in the early days (something about Belgium in particular just puts me off) so I'll strive to average above that 10 in future.

Yes, B&M are the kings of photogenic rides.
Enough of me.

What are your most photographed rides?
The ones you really went to town on with an hour of photolapping after lunch, got lost in the moment.

What ride do you regret not taking enough good photos of?
One of those favourites that you just never got round to snapping much on the day. Too busy riding it.

Happy to hear I'm not the only one that's crazy enough to have done this. Sadly my laptop is ****ed at the moment, so I can't access the full sheet, but I did find a screenshot of the order on my phone. So here goes;

I am finding the lockdown a little bit tedious, but not quite that painful yet.

Hazarding a guess through my own collection though, I'd wager probably something like Taron, SteVe, Dragster or maybe Nemesis.

I was expecting this thread to be about what we thought the most photographed coaster generally was though. My guesses there would have to be Hulk, Expedition Everest or possibly one of the Big Thunder Mountains?

Never fear, proud of you.

How boring ;) title tweaked.

What ride do you regret not taking enough good photos of?
I'll answer my own question with Skyrush. It's my best ride with the least photos, and what I do have isn't particularly good.
A number of factors:
- The bit around and under it was closed off for Candy construction.
- Locker rules.
- Spent more time on the ride instead.
 
I don't usually take photos of coasters when I am at parks. I prefer to take pictures of myself and the people I am with; however, if I had to guess I would say Top Thrill Dragster because I was a fangirl at one point and took a billion photos

Missed this the first time.

I don't really think there's many where I feel like I have regret. Generally (I'd say upwards of 95% of the time) the issue is more that the park layout doesn't allow for many good photos of a particular coaster. Things like Nitro spring to mind right away, but there have been a fair number over the years.
