Impossible...no but you do need to get creative and squeeze shots through whatever hole in the branches you can get.  In my opinion I am just an ok photographer, borderline horrible on the technical side of things but after living down the street from Holiday World for half a decade and shooting that park over and over and over I was forced to innovate or shoot the same pictures again and again.  I chose to creatively play and I have the most fun in looking for those little unique windows to shoot through in order to show the world what I see.



After any winter it is great seeing the warm glow off a spring morning sun bouncing off a pristine coaster like Mystic Timbers.



While the track may look peaceful and serene illuminated by the sun of a new day Mystic Timbers as a ride is anything but.



With sixteen airtime moments; most of them sharp and swift if you have hair with any length it is going to go flying.

Here is another great shot filled with friends.  In the second to back row is Draven seated with Dave Althoff.  Two rows in front of them sits Draven's parents John and Lori in the middle of some ejector seat airtime.



I have to say that I really like the 1960's style pickup truck theming for Mystic Timbers three trains.  You might be surprised that Mystic Timbers with 3,265 feet of track and no mid course break has three trains but because of what is really in the shed it has the ability and added capacity to run all of them.  I'm not going to delve into the big mystery of #whatsintheshed right now but keep reading because it is the big finale to the story of Mystic Timbers and our day at Kings Island.
