Your most photographed ride

[HeartlineCoaster]

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.

Top ten:

Name	Park	Photos
Battlestar Galactica	Universal Studios Singapore	110​
Cú Chulainn	Tayto Park	93​
Celestial Gauntlet	Oriental Heritage Changsha	90​
Piraten	Djurs Sommerland	90​
Big One	Blackpool Pleasure Beach	88​
Helix	Liseberg	87​
Harpy	Xishuangbanna Sunac Land	85​
Parrot Coaster	Chimelong Ocean Kingdom	78​
Flash	Lewa Adventure	78​
The Swarm	Thorpe Park	77​
Taiga	Linnanmäki	77​

By manufacturer:

Manufacturer	Photo count
B&M	1727​
Intamin	1467​
Vekoma	936​
Mack	846​
Gerstlauer	637​
GCI	417​
Gravity Group	372​
S&S	290​
Maurer	279​
RMC	271​

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;

Gravity Max	61
Pulsar	55
Wild West Mine Train (Ocean Park)	51
Taron	50
Rattenmuehle	49
Mayan Adventure (FACV)	49
Big Grizzly Mountain Runaway Mine Cars	47
Baron 1898	37
Insane Speed	36
Goetterblitz	33

I'll do the manufacturers when I get my laptop to work again.

Way too many to even try to keep count of I'm afraid. Can't imagine @gavin or @davidm ever being able to do this either.

Yeah, no.

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.
