Official 'The Joker' Topic

Yikes.

I don't know about the airport restrictions and how close Joker is to the airport, but I'm pretty sure flying a drone near the park to get pics would be legal as long as you don't go onto Six Flags property(Or any private property for that matter) Someone just did it at SFNE. The one spot I can think of is the South Road Park near Superman

Also didn't someone do it for X-Flight 5 years back?

[gottastrata33]

I think they flew it over the river though, not SF property.

Unless I'm missing some super secret spot, I can't think of anywhere anything besides the tallest points of the ride would be visible from off property.

I'm betting it'll barely be visible from the employee parking lot.

No drone was used for X-Flight. Using one near the park can get you into some nasty trouble if they're as strict as Cedar Fair. Flying a drone over or near Cedar Point gets your reported to the FAA. No joke.

Cedar Fair

All drones (Unmanned Aerial Systems) are prohibited at (in) all Cedar Fair parks, including Cedar Point, and any unauthorized drone(s) observed over Cedar Point will be reported to the FAA and local law enforcement, regardless of its point of origin or operation. Drones may pose a potential safety risk and may violate Federal Aviation Administration guidelines.

Six Flags:

To ensure the safety and enjoyment of all guests, Six Flags prohibits the operation or use of any unmanned aerial vehicle on, from, or above Six Flags’ premises absent specific written consent. This includes all UAVs, also commonly known as “drones,” regardless of their size, weight or purpose.

I see. Guess Massachusetts policies are different then

Anyways, it turns out I had a brain slip. The person I was thinking of took the pics in a small plane:

Anyone got a Cessna?

[Whizzer Whiz Kid]

My grandpa does!

[gottastrata33]

Oh wow, Yashu took those! I haven't seen him since we did the Goliath commercial shoot together.

I said it could get you into trouble. Not that you'll always be caught.

Looking pretty nice, ngl

Also is it just me, or did Primo's (SWT) get a fresh coat of paint?


EDIT: Another update video, from some kid who trespassed into the employee lot https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Wl9uGwzTWI

[SFGAM_Hog]

I thought they'd have a lot more done :/

Looking at the comments, the guy who posted the video said 'Wait for it!' to someone who wanted more focus on The Joker.

I'm excited for this.

Where? There are Primo's in Hometown, County Fair, and Orleans, not Southwest.

[Guy_With_A_Stick]

^I think he's referring to the Watering Hole

[Whizzer Whiz Kid]

Ah, that makes sense. I should have picked that one up.

[Whizzer Whiz Kid]

Are all the white spots on Viper where they are in the middle of retracking?

I did mean Watering Hole. It kind of looks like Macho Nacho at SFGADv

I got really excited when I saw that cause I thought that has to be track work! So I'm gonna say yes, it is. I was so in love with the views in that video I totally forgot to mention that so good job seeing/pointing it out!

[MrsTaxi]

That was awesome! Great find!
