mikejenkins1 Posted April 5, 2009 Posted April 5, 2009 So, we have not seen a POV from Diamondback yet. Wonder when that will be posted? Do we have to wait for Media day? Quote
Beast1979 Posted April 5, 2009 Posted April 5, 2009 Don has said that an official POV will be released shortly after opening. Quote
kiruler102 Posted April 5, 2009 Posted April 5, 2009 which means it could be the same day as opening, a day after opening or a week after opening. Quote
Diamondback FOF Posted April 5, 2009 Posted April 5, 2009 Oh, sorry. That video slipped out . is the actual POV. I promise, no Rick Rolls. Quote
kiruler102 Posted April 5, 2009 Posted April 5, 2009 has anybody else noticed the slight similairty of the Diamondback animated POV and the Mustang Pov, the rollercoaster they thought the DB was going to be way before they posted the information in August about the DB, not mustang. Quote

Are you referring to the NoLimits simulation that was posted on the internet? If so, then yes, they are very similar. Quote
mikejenkins1 Posted April 6, 2009 Author Posted April 6, 2009 When I said POV I meant on-board not simulation..... Quote
BoddaH1994 Posted April 6, 2009 Posted April 6, 2009 The landscaping and little things like that are not finished around Diamondback. As stated above, the Diamondback POV will be released some time after the ride opens to the public, but nor necessarily on the 18th... or even near the 18th. Quote
diamonaback2013 Posted April 6, 2009 Posted April 6, 2009 Don has said that an official POV will be released shortly after opening. I thought he said after the ride is properly tested.But im not sure I think he posted it in his blog thing. Quote
Diamondback FOF Posted April 6, 2009 Posted April 6, 2009 When I said POV I meant on-board not simulation..... I know what you meant, but you didn't specify, so... . I was just having fun. Quote
MrTools Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 im sure it will be up early on opening day, with those youtubers sneaking their cameras onboard and posting the video in the park...then again it wont be very good. Quote
The Interpreter Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 And if one or more of them are caught, at the very least they will be ejected from the park. They could be prosecuted under Ohio law. Quote
Atomheartmother616 Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 How could they be prosecuted under any ohio law??? Nevrr heard of that ever. I have been filming rides for YEARS!! Quote
Braves0511 Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 It's against Ohio law to disobey the posted rules, and one of the posted rules is no loose articles which includes cameras. Quote
teenageninja Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 It is extremely illegal to video tape on rides. Not only does it state on the back of the ticket that this is a problem, but ride operators are told to check for cameras. I could go into a spiel, but yeah, it's illegal, and if you do it you will be thrown out of the park. Quote
marlfox_21 Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 It's very true. With minimal action, isn't the park allowed to confiscate the camera? Because the camera holds images of copyrighted material. Quote
CoastersRZ Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 The below is directly from the Ohio Revised Code (Ohio Law): 1711.551 Duties of riders. (A) No rider shall fail to do any of the following: (1) Heed all written warnings and directions that require a person to meet certain conditions or to refrain from certain actions regarding an amusement ride, as determined by rule by the director of agriculture; (2) Refrain from behaving or acting in any manner that may cause injury or contribute to injuring himself or other people while occupying an amusement ride. ( The director, in accordance with Chapter 119. of the Revised Code, shall adopt, and may amend and rescind, rules governing the types of warnings and directions required to be followed pursuant to this section. Rules adopted by the director determining the types of printed warnings and directions shall include specifications as to the character, size, and print size of such warnings and directions. At a minimum, the rules shall require the following: (1) The warnings and directions prominently disclose the penalties imposed if a rider violates section 1711.551 of the Revised Code; (2) The warnings and directions be based upon the standards of ASTM or the American national standards institute, or any other principles, tests, or standards of nationally recognized technical or scientific authorities that research the proper use of each amusement ride and the potential injuries that occur or are unique to each amusement ride if it is used improperly; (3) The owner of the amusement ride display the warnings and directions in a public and conspicuous place on or near the ride. Filming on ride videos falls under both one and two. Disobeying verbal and posted warnings and behaving in a way that may lead to an injury of himself or other riders. It is dangerous to do such activities, against park rules (your camera can be confiscated, and you can be ejected from the park) and it is also against the law. Violation of the above rule can result in the following punishment according to Ohio Law: © Whoever violates section 1711.551 of the Revised Code is guilty of a minor misdemeanor; on each subsequent offense such person is guilty of a misdemeanor of the fourth degree.

Diamondback FOF Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 How could they be prosecuted under any ohio law??? Nevrr heard of that ever. I have been filming rides for YEARS!! How could they be prosecuted? Probably by being charged by the prosecutor and then going to court . Have you been filming on ride vidoes, or off ride? Quote
Gabe Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 As a lawyer, I can tell you that the park probably takes such matters very seriously. If caught, you could be ejected from the park (your ticket is a license to enter, not a right) and the park could decide to prosecute you. While they might not want to go to that expense, they could certainly revoke your season pass if you have one and ban you from getting one in the future, not to mention banning you from visiing the park again. I liken it to professional sports teams--if you run onto the court, field, etc. exepct to be ejected and if you are a season ticket holder, you can probably kiss those goodbye as well. Quote
Atomheartmother616 Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 Wow now I do feel quite ignorant I would have never thought this to be possible so it is illegal to even take a photo while on a ride? I honestly in my 30 + years and many many parks many many times expected this they have only stated no flash photography as far as i jave known. As for concerts they even allow non professional cameras which this day is much harder to distinguish. As for video as a trip to any show nowadays will show thanks to the invention of the cell phone and digital camera a huge percent of attendees are filming away without a word otherwise from anyone. Well thanks for the info. First I have heard of this... Quote
UnrealNightmare Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 I wouldn't want to lose my phone or my camera. The only loose article I take on any ride is my hat but while riding I sit on it. The other item I take is my ipod but it gets safely secured in my pocket with the head phones ran up through my shirt. Quote
coasterguy15 Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 Haha, well with Diamondback, your hat wont stay on your seat because you will be out of it for more than 30 seconds! Quote
UnrealNightmare Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 Then I'll just put it in my g'f's bag. But on all of the coasters I have been on it has never come out. Quote
paperg Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 Haha, well with Diamondback, your hat wont stay on your seat because you will be out of it for more than 30 seconds! what??? Out of your seat for more than 30 secs??? Quote
UnrealNightmare Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 ^^ Yes Diamondback boasts thirty seconds of airtime. Quote
paperg Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 ^^ Yes Diamondback boasts thirty seconds of airtime. YIKES!!! Quote
UnrealNightmare Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 Haha it's going to be pure airtime bliss! I can not wait. Quote
The Interpreter Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 I cannot imagine anything more uncomfortable than sitting on sandals or a hat. At Hersheypark, they once required you to sit on your sandals or flip flops on Great Bear. It will be most interesting to see what Kings Island's policy on loose shoes is.... Quote
