Just about, thats what I can remember from the top of my head. Look at the Rider Information board at the entrance point for each ride for its exact rules. I think Columbia might allow it as well, but I'm not sure.

It would probably answer his question.

I don't understand why you just posted that, zjohn.

ok, no fighting......lol.


I don't think that going to guest relations would really help either. It's a no brainer pretty much that you can't take on ride pov's of the rollercoasters. The employees, or at least some of them, have been strictly enforcing the "not holding anything while on a ride" rule this year, unlike past years. If you want to try, you can always ask the ride op. and even if they say no, you can get some pretty cool videos of external views of the rides and stuff too.

I know for a fact that the Scenic Railway, Sky Trek Tower, and Columbia Carousel allow cameras because i've asked them this year and they said yes, but then again that could have just been those particular ride ops. Also, last year they allowed them on Great American Raceway and i also brought a waterproof camera into Skull Island with no problem as well.

Unless you cant read a sign in front of every ride, then okay go to guest relations. But they'll tell you the same list of rides allowing cameras as you see on here.

Usually it would be any ride that has forces that could cause a flying camera to be a hazard to other people riding or not riding.
