I would love to see a floorless come to KI. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kissfan4 Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 Just out of curiosity, does anyone have a drone to get aerial photos of track at CSF? If you take off from public land, you can get good pics without stepping foot on private property. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cannot wait to ride this. Watching Leviathan's POV, I think this will be a better ride. Compared to Fury, not so much. It also seems to have the same ride time from drop to break run as Levi, and 5-8 seconds shorter than Fury. I am excited! Using a Youtube Doubler, I can vouch: if this recreation is anywhere near accurate, both the 2020 KI Giga and Leviathan have the exact same length (in time) from their drop to when they hit the final brakes: http://youtubedoubler.com/?video1=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DqIrBVVxg_XE&start1=105&video2=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3Dey2PeEL12W0&start2=58&authorName=Polaris+vs+Levi Edit: Just re-watched the doubler, and the KI Giga was a second or so longer. Might just be a timing error. Still, a mere second or two longer is "about the same length" in my book. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PSA: It is very hard to know if a person is trespassing with drone footage, making those types of photos almost impossible to moderate. If there is any drone footage posted that we cannot clearly tell it was taken from a neutral location we will not host them and will be removed. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiamondBanshee Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 ^Not trying to be snarky, just genuinely curious. If we were to take a picture of the drone taking off from a neutral, non-private area, and keep the drone from entering any unauthorized airspace/buildings, would we be able to post drone photos and videos?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DustinTheNow Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 I would launch a drone from a public parking lot like the Batavia Heights Christian Child Care. And as part of the video, show the ground and only move up vertically. Also look at FAA restrictions, if you are to do so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiamondBanshee Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 ^^Unless the FAA has amended its rules on drones, private property owners cannot allow or disallow any drones flying in the airspace around their property as they technically do not own the airspace. The FAA is the governing body over all airspaces. While there are many rules, such as it must be under 400’, it must be in sight at all times, you cannot fly over humans, etc. flying over private property is not a restriction. So as long as you take off from non-private property, are outside a 5 mile radius of an airport (more rules on this and when you can be in the radius), and follow all other rules set forth by the FAA, it is perfectly legal. So again, my previous question still stands. If we were to have proof of taking off and landing from an appropriate, legal spot, and the pictures are taken from, a neutral, legal airspace, would we be able to post pictures and videos?

BoddaH1994 Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 So with the FAA thing. You are correct that they do own the airspace, however: 1) It’s still private property and they can still politely inform you that you will be charged with trespassing if you ever step foot on it. 2) Flying over crowds of people is still illegal, so it wouldn’t be able to be while the park was in operation anyway. Just respect their wishes. All you’ll get is more of what we’ve seen, and no doubt the park will doing a million updates of the construction. Patience is a virtue. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just curious why? This is about drones. The park has made it clear that drones are not allowed. Due to the crowds, it would also be against FAA rules to fly it over the park. CSF would not have those restrictions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
