TOPGUN1993 Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 Why did TRTR stop taking photos of people on the ride ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FOF/Z 4-ever Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 It probably does not work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRTR Guy Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 Sales, or lack thereof. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Nemo Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 It's a good thing I bought one. I still find my pucture funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skippy Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 Or their getting ready to install one of those on ride movie recorders and that will be where you buy your DVD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reclaimer Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 That'd be a good idea. I'd love an on-ride personal DVD of Beast, SOB, TR:TR, Delirium, Vortex, and Face Off. Okay...Just about anything would make me happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TraderJake Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 It closed after the opening season due to lack of sales. At the beginning of 2002, it was the only On-Ride Photo location run by Merch-Owned. Sales weren't up to expectations, so it has served as a stockroom for Outfitter's Supplies and Rivertown Carts since then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersRZ Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 Remember that Face Off also used to have an on ride photo. Also, at one point in time, Adventure Express also had an on ride photo, but that was a long time ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdboy007 Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 SOB has the worst location for a ride photo, it the smallest hill at the slowest part of the ride why not at the bottom of the big hill? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harvesterofyoursorrow Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 Becuase you are going like, 78 mph or somthing like that. Try to time it. Flight of Fear can be done becuase I belive no matter what the weight of the train, it will be in the same place at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdboy007 Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 it is not going 78 down the first hill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Nemo Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 (edited) it is not going 78 down the first hill I like just saying it goes really fast!!! PS: If you want to know what the TRTR pictures looked like I have mine in my profile. Sorry for the bad quality, it was a keychain. Changed my profile pic, sorry.

pkd804 Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 Nah, it doen't really matter if its going at 78mph because xlc has an on ride photo and it goes 80... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flightoffear1996 Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 Yes that is true but XL-C would always be going that speed cause that part of the ride is computer controlled. SOB would depend too much on the weight of the train. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdboy007 Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 They do it on other drops I'm sure there is a way to capture the photos, remember when The Vortex couldn't capture color photos? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanner Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 It has nothing to do with timing. There is a sensor that sets it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRickster Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 I always think it would be cool if theyy took them upside down in the loop on SOB. But I dont know much about hooking the cameras up to know if that would even be possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasper Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 A Drop Zone one would be a nice pic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOPGUN1993 Posted September 1, 2005 Author Share Posted September 1, 2005 They should take your photo on the water slides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdboy007 Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 Drop Zone would be cool, very easy to do except it would take 40 cameras and a contraption to get them in front of the riders, man I would like to see my face on the drop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarkerCounty182 Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 Why not put an on-ride photo on every ride that way everyone is happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could put some poles on a claw and the camera would be out of the way while loading and unloading and have the cameras right by you but I think that would ruin the view from the ride.

bdboy007 Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 drop zone ride photos would be the best, who else agrees? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TQZ Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 It has nothing to do with timing. There is a sensor that sets it off. My exact thoughts. They could put cameras anywhere and aim them anywhere if they wanted, because those little (i think they are green) sensors catch the train and set the camera off. I believe you could do it on a loop... Oh wait, didnt they do that on Vortex? Its at the bottom of the loop, granted. Drop zone would be pretty hard to do. But if like the above says, they put them on poles around drop zone, you could do like other rides and capture 4 at a time or whatever. my .02 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TraderJake Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 They should take your photo on the water slides. I don't know if they still do, but the people who do keyhole on certain days would take "on-ride" photos of you while riding Tasmanian Typhoon or the Lazy River.

Guest TombraiderTy Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 They took pics on Adventure Express? I never knew that, does anyone have a picture of people on it? Also, where did they tak your picture? I'm guessing right after you leave the station but I don't really know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PKIVortex Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 Yes AE took your picture right before the first tunnel. Also does any one remember when every picture would print and they would show them to you on a clip board. Back in the day when all the pictures were in Black and White.

Snake Attack! Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 Delerium would be a might cool ride to do it on. It would be possible to if they could time the number of seat and the rotation and put the camera on each side of the swing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an old pic of me on AE thats in black and white. Good memories. I also have my siters black and whitepics on The Beastie and the first year of color photos of them on taxi jam.
