...(critiques and comments welcome)...

There's a ride at Cedar Point that generates some great reactions from the riders, and is also relatively easy to shoot.

These pics will give you an idea as to how the ride works. Essentially, the ride rotates in circles as it swings. And the swing goes well over 90 degrees in it's arc.

So as a photographer, you can place yourself directly under the ride where it swings out, point straight up, and capture some pretty cool reactions - the riders are facing directly down at you.

There is a point of Zero G at the top of the arc. This really gets some wild hair, and the expressions and eyes tend to widen up even more!

Nicely captured although I'd want a hard hat for flying shoes and maybe an umbrella for flying, um, well, yuck... :shock:;)

Yes, I was weary of someone trying to "hock" something....but maybe I would have caught in camera, had a not-so-friendly word with them, and had them kicked out of the park!

Cedar Point is definitely a wonderful place - we live very close, and consider ourselves lucky!
