Description Old shot from around 2005. Found it on my computer already stripped of some of the color from when I was experimenting. I don't know how many thousands of photos have been taken from this very spot I'm standing, looking at the KUMBA's famous interlocking corkscrews, Bucsh Gardens, T.B.

The track has a beautiful aqua color, which isn't visible obviously. The support beams are a flamingo-red color, which go perfectly with the track.

This is a sitting coaster manufactured by Switzerland's Bolliger & Mabillard, my personal favorite coaster make, that raised the industry standard in 1993 when the coaster was opened.

The classic Screamscape logo. Real cool how you striped the color off the thing...me only using paint would never be able to do that...

I freakin' love that ride too! Like I said in the description, I found it on my computer (yesterday) with the color already gone--I'll look for the one with color but It's on a disk somewhere in Timbuktu, and don't hate! ha ha

well one thing: you shouldn't mention that it's usual photo i've never been there (and probably never will) and it looks amazing to me this mixture of metal, trees, and yellow train. Good thing you've stripped the blue color: grey's awsome. from me friend

scratchback In reply to Qrjusz [2006-10-01 04:34:29 +0000 UTC]

...and that's why I called it "that famous photo," because it pretty much is. Like, if your taking photos of that coaster you can't not take one from this view.
