who poses for ride photos?

[elmjimmlm]

Would you consider your head down and eyes closed a pose? If it is then I pose in every picture...

[BluewaterBrad]

I like posing on Dinosaur!

oh yea my family and I always throw up the peace sign or stick out our tounges. we knwo where all the photo spots on the rides are

[Soul_Power]

If we know where the camera is, we'll pose. We went for the first time in 2007, and f the rides were new to us, so we had no idea where the cameras were. Those were fun, too, because our facial expressions were real!
We posed on rides like the ToT that we've been on a million times at California Adventure because we knew what to expect. Check it out here (BF and I are in the front wearing black tops - notice the guy to our left looking at us like we're crazy people): http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b396/gill25/ToT.jpg

I try to look bored but usually look scared to death.

Funny though - on a family trip to WDW a couple of years ago, 17 of us asked the elevator operator at ToT if we could have our own elevator.

In the picture, 15 of us look scared to death. The other 2, my 15 (at the time) year old niece and her friend were totally posed. Head tilted, big smile, etc. It is pretty hilarious.

We ended up buying 6 copies of the picture!

You mean people DON'T do this? I thought everyone posed for the cameras. I love posing on ToT.

So the rides listed so far that you can get your picture on are:

Expidition Everest
Dinosaur
Splash Mountain
SSE (Spaceship Earth?)
Test Track (can go on PhotoPass)
Tower of Terror
Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin

Are there any more?

[Pally]

Yes, Tower of Terror is my favorite along with my younger son. My husband and older son don't really like ToT. We always pose and have a ball.

I used to pose and make funny faces, but then I started thinking that I might be ruining the shot for the other people in the same shot, so I stopped.

[handmaidenofprincesses]

Although posing is entertaining, be careful not to get in other people's way please!

My aunt and I were kind of annoyed when we rode Test Track- our favorite ride, one we'd have liked to have a picture from- and the three people in front of us put their arms above their heads for the picture. You couldn't even tell we were in the backseat, and it was the only time we got to ride together the whole vacation, so we were kind of disappointed.

The real question is--who doesn't?

That's half the fun!

LOL!!! That's great! Thanks for the laugh!

[MMFreak]

We pose too. Last year my two children and I finally got my husband on the dinosaur he "hates" this ride. He never says why he just always has a billion excuses not to ride. In any case we got him on the ride and when it came time for the picture my two children and I put smiling faces on and looked at my husband and pointed our fingers at him. It is completely dark so he had no idea. When we got off the ride to see the picture we laughed so hard. He is ducking down with the look of terror on his face and we of course are laughing and pointing. We had it framed and it hangs in our home and we love explaining it over and over again to friends that come to visit.

[kmo84]

Oh my gosh! Too funny! I love to do this.
Usually it's just to get my kids to laugh.

But my wife will be relieved to know now I am not the only one who does it.

[DNS]

I, on the other hand, always have the same look: eyes tight shut, body braced, and terrified teeth clenched grin!

Same here! I don't even realize I'm doing that. On one, I had my face bured in DH's shoulder and didn't remember doing that either. (This could explain why I never remember the scenes that others talk about.)

When I was there last December, I was at MK on EMH night. It was about 10:30 in the evening when I decided to ride Splash.

The queue was EMPTY! I mean totally empty! It was surreal walking non-stop through the entire queue, right up to the load area. Needless to say, I got my own personal log for that ride! I was grinning ear to ear, and then I remembered the ride photo at the big drop. I spent most of the ride trying to decide what would be the coolest pose for the photo, and ended up with a big ol' goofy smile right at the camera, and a huge thumbs up.

Exiting the ride, I knew I just HAD to get that one. It turned out as good as I had expected, and while waiting to get my pic, I got several comments from fellow riders about how cool my picture was. I still get them when I show the pic to people. They usually start with "You got your own log?", followed by "What a great picture."

That night was really fun!
