With all of the shutters being fired and video recording beneath them some of Thunderbird's riders made sure to smile for the cameras.

We got a nice view of the double fly through barn on our way back into the middle of Thunderbird.

With safety always a priority at Holiday World when Thunderbird being added over The Voyage there had to be a little bit of safety modification to it, namely netting over track just in case if something accidentally fell from one of Thunderbirds riders.

Talking earlier about someone that I have known since they were in high school here is Scott Schafer from Upstop Media hanging out with Bond during our tour.  While I may be pretty decent at shooting stills (I am overly critical of all of my photos) Scott is amazing especially at shooting video.  Take a look at some of his work here on Youtube.
