Pov

do you have to be a staff of WWS to submit a POV?

No, but you have to use the fourm search feature.

what's from with Condor, besides the editing?

Well, the video itself was pretty shaky and being only 8-15fps was a bummer. You could have set the camera down on the bow of the restraint and pushed down on the top of the camera. That makes it less skaky and look smoother even than even the ride really is.

Its not your fault really, you can't help not having a nicer camera at your disposal but WWS is too lenient on what they take IMO. Its nice that they give stuff out like that but it makes them look cheaper.

who cares of the quality, they are stii alot of fun to watch

I guess you ever has ridden el condor, Even if you press it on the restraints it still shakes like hell Those whole cars at least shake 5cm to every side...

awwwwww i wish you could have told us...they may not even let you on with a camera

[Dirk_Ermen]

in walibi they don't allow it to take cameras with you. But luckily like toverland it's allowed and all @ your own risk [:D]

im getting a pocket camera

they wont even notice

[devilish][lol]

[Oscar]

cool, one of our former staff members had their camera fly off on apollo's chariot and never retrieved it, fell in the water, so excise caution when taking onrides. [:)]

lol but as smooth as intamins are i wonder if i could hold on for SROS?

i also wanna try SKC at SFFT

lol WWS

And with the size of WWS's camera, I am surprised his has not ended up in the water underneath Silver Bullet's lift/helix!

Yea, remember that restraints can jiggle and move around as well. Sometimes the cushioned movements from your hands and arms are less shaky than that of a restraint on metal hinges that vibrates and shakes as well.

It's not because of the staff, cause i know one person who does allow it [;)] It's just because of the safetly reasons. For example, your in the front seat. Because of a shock or whatever, you drop the camera on the first drop. So that camera takes air and starts to "fly". And everyone behind you could hit the camera...

edit:

example with a mobile phone:

ps... this picture isn't photoshopped, it happened in real!

[hyyyper]

then why do some parks like toverland and efteling allow it?

[Dirk_Ermen]

i dunno that, ask them. But i guess probably because the rides arn't really big thrills. Ok, the rides are defenalty fun. Also at toverland and efteling not really high speeds too. Oh well, it all depends on the park (and some staff members [;)])

[hyyyper]

IMO every himself-respect onride maker really cares about not getting other people hurt by losing their camera (perhaps losing the camera is the first to worry about), as for safety, i always have the cord round my wrist andd two hands on the camera, which resulted into both arm really bruised while onriding elcondor, but it was worth it...coasters are supposed to hurt!
