A well-built roller coaster is a beautiful thing, combining the thrill of being thrown around sharp curves at high velocities with the safety of ... being thrown around sharp curves at high velocities. Most theme parks try to offset the cost of these multimillion dollar machines by snapping pictures at the scariest part of the ride, then selling you the "souvenir photos" for $20. Fortunately, anonymous pranksters have taken advantage of these terrifying photo ops in a variety of clever ways:
1) Playing Chess
This idea began with a strip from popular webcomic XKCD, and kind of spiraled out of control. The site now has an entire webpage devoted to photos of people playing chess, checkers, and other board games on roller coasters. But this has nothing on...
2) Playing Jenga
This, we have no words for. The time spent supergluing together boardgame pieces for one photo, the difficulty of smuggling it on board, and the waste of a perfectly good Jenga set. But hey, you can't make a great prank photo without destroying a few board games.
3) Attacking Somebody From Behind
Here's our question: how'd he get a sword onto this ride, and how'd he keep it from slicing anybody, including himself?
Or was this an actual murder, covered up by the evil squirrel overlords of Splash Mountain?
4) Whatevs
Sometimes, a man has to show the world just how little he actually cares.
5) I'm King of the World!
And sometimes a man just has to show the world how much he wants to risk death to whip off his shirt and look stupid in a photo.
6) Tin Can On a String
Well, what were you expecting? Surrounded by that much steel, their cellphones were never going to work.
7) Sleepytime
Yeah, we've all been on a few coasters like that.
8) FALCON PUNCH!
We at ZUG do not condone hitting people, especially unarmed women. On the other hand, we're 100% behind trying to convince the photo guy you punched somebody out.
Sadly, the girl is actually more convincing than the guy. Maybe she should hit him for real on the next ride.
(Double-prank: check out the androgynous she-man in the back.)
9) It's Raining Men
Every now and then, somebody will try to surprise the passengers with, say, a gay kiss:
But that's perfectly all right, it's not like they went back and tried to freak out the passengers:
In the immortal words of George Takei: Oh, my.
10) What Kind of Bees Don't Sting?
Boobies!
There are dozens of photos of women flashing the camera on various thrill rides; Disney's Splash Mountain is a popular ride for this activity (earning it the nickname "Flash Mountain").
Until last year, Disney actually had "image screeners" who were paid to look for and delete any pictures of wardrobe malfunctions -- meaning Disney actually paid employees to look at breasts. All day. It's like running a mammography machine, except not depressing!
Well, at least the kids seem to be enjoying the ride.

To answer your sword question, Pirates of the Caribbean's gift shop is only about 300 feet away.
And yes, I'm aware the question was mostly rhetorical, but I couldn't pass up the opportunity to spout off my overwhelming amount of useless Disney park knowledge.

When I was in Boy Scouts we went to a theme park. A group of us were on a ride that gave a count down before taking the picture when a fellow scout had the bright idea to give the camera the finger which then flashed. After fetal positioned laughter we realized at least one of us might get in trouble, so we quickly made our way to the wall that displayed the pictures for all to see. Fortunately for us, the picture was of us laughing, not of the bird.

When you break the spped limit whilst driving in the UK the police are kind enough to send you a picture of the event in case you couldn't remember that last time you tried to get the DeLorean up to 88.
I would be quite happy to pay someones speeding fine if they could somehow get a picture of them rocking down the motorway at 120mph and playing chess with their passenger at the same time.
Frost it, I'll give out oral sex if the photo's of you playing Twister.

Chess and Jenga get a big smile. Now if they had done Monopoly they would have gotten a standing ovation.
