i could have sworn eagle had On ride photo about 2 or 3 years ago

It did. I just wish it still had it. I didn't have an opportunity to buy one a few years back.

ON-ride photo is an easy upgrade to the ride!
Last year SFGA didn't have enough time to install it maybe due to wiggles world project.
There's room for it at exit, just install 4 flat screen tvs for each train.

That would be awesome if it still had the on-ride photo though. I still remember riding Eagle for the first time, it was going backwards.

American Eagle, as discussed used to have an on-ride photo. It was taken away, probably because it was not profitable. Don't expect it back.

An on-ride photo would be nice for Eagle since it is one of the more popular ones. I would also buy an old Eagle photo in a heart beat.

I would have loved to have had an on-ride photo as well, but never got one. :cry:

Were the cameras removed in 2007?

^No. I don't remember if they were there when it ran backwards but most likely.

The paint job on the Eagle is terrible when you are goin closer and closer to the top. Also, a lot of those shrubs should be removed and something a bit more attractive should be put in. Can't they cover up the part of the walk when you are on the stairs and "bridge"? The sun gets blazin at times... :oops:

I'm suprised Shapiro thought of putting advertisement on rollercoasters, but not on-ride photos. That would bring in a ton of extra revenue, especially on Eagle, Demon, and Whizzer, where families would want them as souviners.

I'm surprised Ragin' Cajun hasn't been equipped with an on-ride photo (I'm thinking after that first big drop after the first collection of hairpin turns). That (aside from Spacely's) is probably the most family-oriented coaster in the park.

Maybe this year on-ride photos added to more rides this year-
Quote from investor outlook-
--Additional guest spending growth is targeted for 2008; driven by upgrades of the in-park product offering and the continued roll-out of additional units of Papa John's (Nasdaq: PZZA), Johnny Rockets, and Cold Stone Creamery, as well as growth related to the Company's photography business operated by Kodak (NYSE: EK).
