That's the one I always snap but just a tad to the right.

literally my favourite theme park vista on the planet is in that exact spot. the design of the space is so damn cool, its no wonder everyone wants to get a picture of it.

Surely Oblivion's drop, angled straight up from ground level, is one of the UK's most photographed viewpoints? I'd definitely say more so than Nemesis etc.
How about Eurosat? Literally the only real angle you'll ever see of this coaster (or building). Still, one of my favourite sections of any theme park.

I've just thought of another one; I feel like I've seen some variation of this shot in a number of roller coaster books, webpages and other forms of theme park media:
It must be said, as much as I was underwhelmed by the coaster itself, and ended up not really being a huge fan of it, Olympia is a beautiful thing to look at, and catching this shot did feel like a nice bit of wish fulfilment from my early enthusiast years, to an extent!

Haven't been to KD but whenever I see Dominator it's either the loop view from the parking lot or the view from the midway. Super rare to see this one.

I have to echo the people who said the view of El Toro and Ka. I physically cringe when I see that photo in trip reports (even though I was guilty of it as a wee 15 year old). You might as well use a stock photo at that point.
Honourable mentions go to:
- View of Millennium Force's first lift hill either from the midway Rougarou is on or from the causeway
- Top Thrill Dragster's top hat looking down the midway
- Shivering Timbers' sea of airtime hills looking down the parking lot (not a commonly visited park it seems, but every time I see a report that's included in it. Although it's probably the only nice thing about the park)
- I305 from the Eiffel Tower
- Any ****ing splashdown

Surprised nobody has mention this...
I think all thoosies who visit usually take a snap like this, seemed like an obvious one to me!
It's funny, as when I think of Taron and Chiapas viewpoints, I think of:
and
Certainly they are my go-to shots over the other two (though, I do also get the other two too tbf!)

Every single time I end up going to Thorpe I always tend to take this exact photo of Colossus.

I suspect this shot will soon become one of these views!
