Here is a quick sample from the 12:15 tour.
Sorry my thumb seems to like to get in my iPhone 5 photos so I left many out. Better than nothing..
I'm sure Chuck and Tom have some nice sunset photos.

You don't see this view very often..and maybe never again.

Room for Zumanjaro: Drop of Doom Doom here?
Could be a tight fit.

I suppose there will be a better lighting system soon.

Even a FlashPass is not safe.

Onto Rolling thunder..

The right side hasn't run in a while?

Even Rolling Thunder was once worthy of some lighting

Is this a clue to the future of the area?

Sorry pictures looking up at that first drop just don't do it any justice.

These tours are what makes the ROTB event so special. 
Well worth getting up early to make it on the list...
Very well done...

Seeing Ka's "lighting" never gets old

Awesome pictures.  Thanks for sharing.  The Ka "light package" is unfortunately a shining example of what is wrong with not just Great Adventure but Six Flags as a whole.  Fortunately that will likely be resolved with the new drop ride but still sad.  And look at the riders having fun on Rolling Thunder :).
