Ever since amusement parks began installing cameras on their roller coasters to capture riders’ facial expressions, people have been finding ways to mess with them. The first part of the operation is figuring out where on the coaster the camera is. Once you’ve done that, all you’ve got to do is stick your finger in your nose at just the right moment and you’ve got a lifetime keepsake your grandchildren will be thrilled to inherit.

But there’s a whole subset of roller coaster pranksters who go way beyond a funny face or a stuck-out tongue. Some folks actually stage whole scenes for the coaster camera, including props, costumes, wigs, and even furniture. Pulling off an elaborate roller coaster prank is definitely an impressive feat. Let’s say you want to stage a fancy dinner party scene onto the Twisted Colossus. Not only do you have to smuggle all the necessary accoutrements onto the ride, you also have to keep it all steady during a 90 mph coaster ride, and THEN pose in a split second.

It’s time we gave these geniuses the respect they deserve. Here are 15 roller coaster riders who gave the on-track camera an eyeful.
