View Full Version : Funny, obscure, or embarrassing TOT pics?

Has anybody seen any pictures taken by the TOT cameras that were hilarious, funny, obscure, embarassing, or at least mentionable?

The first time I rode the ride I was sitting in the back row. The guy sitting directly in front of my had the novel idea of raising his hand straight up in to the air and blocking my face completely from the picture. The final photo looked like a group of people sitting in an elevator like nothing is wrong EXCEPT for that one anonymous guy in the back row who can't be identified because of the giant palm in front of his face.

Later on when I rode with my cousins I wish I could have bought the picture. We had the whole front row to ourselves. Out of the seven seats I was the only one who held a straight face as if the ride hadn't even started yet. Five of the other six in my group were screaming insanely. And then there was my cousin's wife who was seated between me and one of my cousins. She had her face completed buried in the chest of my cousin. The photo was hilarious. It looked like my one cousin grew a MOP of chest hair and that I was brain dead while my other cousins were red in the face or about to puke.

A few weeks ago (the weekend of July 24th & 25th) I was at DL, and my cousin and I ended up on the same ToT car as Marie Osmond. I think I still did either my Kobe pose, or my patented 'smiling with thumbs up' (which looks funny while everyone else looks terrified). But it was sort of odd getting off the ride and seeing Marie Osmond in the pic sitting behind us. LOL

I got a phone call in the midst of my ride. Photo to prove it. Everyone else having a good time looking terrified or excited, there I am, arguing with my agent. Middle row, far left side against the wall.

Just came back this mornin from my vacation having ridden TofT for the 1st time. Front row, next to the wall, holding onto the bar for dear life. Thank goodness the 2 teenaged boys asked us to trade seats, otherwise I probably would have had a major heart attack. :eek:

While the pics posted here and the other thread are great, I really wish that Disney would take your pic while you are moving down. Right now, when you come out of the ride and look at the pics, most people are just smiling looking forward.

If they took a pic of you while you drop, there would be faces of pure horror and I'm sure that they'd sell more.

I realize that the logistics behind being able to do that are hard, but I just think it's a missed opportunity.

Last time I went, I wore these costume lab goggles, and I got to sit right in the back in the center where no one could block me. It was later in the day, so when the flash went off, it glinted right off the lenses of my goggles, and I had a grimace on my face. I looked like I was being electrocuted.

Thanks for the great segue into my fave pic from the ride! It has very few forward facing smiles!

I adore this picture (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v47/lilblckrncloud/ToT-dorks.jpg) because my friends and I almost took up the whole front row, and as an unexpected bonus, the reactions are priceless all over the place. For the two to my right (I am in the pink shirt), I love it because that was their first time riding and their reactions were totally pure and spontaneous.

Other things I enjoy:

The tall man to my friend's left with his hand on his chest screamed like a little girl THE ENTIRE TIME, and the shot totally caputures that.
The :eek: face on the man with the hat in the back row is hilarious.
My friend Melissa (front row, all the way to the left) had gone on before. Holly, the friend next to her, hadn't. If you look closely you can see that Holly is reaching over to grab Melissa's knee!

My favorite, however, is this girl (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v47/lilblckrncloud/scaredy.jpg) in the second row. Not only does she look like she wants to DIE, she has her knees totally pulled up. The look on her face kills me every time! I have that pic as my desktop and whenever I look at her I can't help but laugh. :D

The first time I rode I was hanging on for dear life with fear in my face while my 73 year old grandmother had her hands up and was laughing! Everyone in my family we showed the picture to has laughed at me. What an embarassment!
