FAQ

When are you going to add some new photos?

With the major upgrade of April 2008, there will be many regular photo updates occurring.I try and update the site as regularly as possible, however, I’m finding I have increasingly less time to work on the page.

Can you display my photos on Amusement Ride Extravaganza?

If you have any ride pictures of your own and would like them displayed on this site [with full credit given], please contact me! I’d be more than happy to have them posted on this site with your name underneath. However, I strive to maintain a high standard of quality with all photographs (with the exception of extremely rare photographs). Photos must be of a good size, resolution and well captured.

How long has Amusement Ride Extravaganza been running?

The site started in 1997 as a small experiement, having since gained momentum and popularity beyond anything I had ever imagined. Over the last 10 years we have had well over a million visitors, with this number rising exponentially as the internet has become more mainstream.

Can I use your photos on my website?

Providing your site is non-commercial and non-profit in nature, you may display my photos on your website. All I request is that you contact me prior, do not edit or crop the photograph(s) in any way, and you display a link to this site next to each photograph.

If for commercial purposes, you must first obtain my prior written permission if using any photographs contained within this site. A small fee will also be incurred, depending on the size and distribution scale of requested photographs for commercial usage. Failure to do so, is an infringement of the Copyright Act 1968, and will result in an infringement summons.

Which amusement parks have you visited?

I have visited various amusement parks in USA, Canada, Thailand and Australia.

Do you work at an amusement park at the moment?

No, but worked at Melbourne’s Luna Park as both a ride operator and supervisor from 1997-2001 as well as a few other ride companies.

Can I link to Amusement Ride Extravaganza from my own website?

Please do! I can also provide you with an official link-banner on request.

Did you take all of these photos yourself?

The vast majority of photos have been taken by me from 1996 to present day. As digital photo technology has improved, so to has my skills and equipment.

Where did you get all the information on each ride?

I have gathered the ride knowledge over the years, as both an operator and a riding patron, mainly by chatting to owners, workers, engineers and technicians. The internet has also proven to be a valuable source of information on a global scale, particularly from people I have come in contact with through this site.

What type of camera do you use?

I currently use a Nikon D-80 SLR for ride photography.

Previous cameras I have used include:

MINOLTA Dynax 3000I (Digital SLR)
