Do you know if you are allowed to take POV videos while on any of the coasters at Sfgam? If so, which ones?? I have seen POV videos of Demon, Whizzer, and AE but I do not know if you are allowed to. Thanks for your help.
Well if you ask the chances are that they are probably going to say no but you could try. I just don't think any employee wants to be repsonsible for a dropped camera hitting someone on the head.
From the park guide: Cameras are not permitted on thrill rides or attractions. Please check with ride operators regarding camera policies for each ride.
I have seen people get thrown out of the park for that very reason. Taking a camera on the ride is a safety risk for everyone, not just people on the train, but the people below it as well. I've even seen Viper do a ride stop because a Op saw a camera and they had security come escort him out of the park.
if you really *really* want to shoot an on-ride video, I'd suggest building some sort of mount and talking to management. for most rides, the ops will just say no.
I don't have a detonator; its on a timer.
A countdown timer?
No, a count-up timer. It goes from one to explode.
Just keep the camera in your hand in plain site while the ops come and check the restraints. If they see it and don't have a problem with it, then I guess you're OK.
