Question 'bout St. Louis and Pictures

Talk about anything that has to do with the amusement park industry here.

what's the reason for no cameras? They don't take responsibility for lost items...and I dont see how it would be that park's fault if someone was hurt by a projectile camera...
Every jumbled pile of person has a thinking part that wonders what the part that isn't thinking, isn't thinking of.

Maybe a few don't take their jobs that serious.. but then again it's not like they're being paid a lot of money. And ALL hosts are there to make money lol.

There are many people that make everyone's ride and park experience more fun. I can picture Viper, Raging Bull, DeJa Vu, Eagle (has anyone noticed the racing flags?), V2, and sometimes Whizzer. I see people working there that go beyond expectations.

I loved how much the employees tried to wake up and motify everyone during CAD. I personally was tired.. Was there from 10 AM -12 AM. The Viper operators kept me up! (sadly my last ride..) All I got in during CAD was Eagle, Demon, and Viper. Tried to get on Bull but since it was a "high profile" ride it closed at 11:30. (Was in fury at that time :evil: )

A bad experience is waiting in line for the family raft rides lol.. Every five minutes you hear this loud, annoying voice talking about women needing to wear their entire swim suit. It's so fricken annoying and unnecessary.

Sorry to get off topic.. but Ragin' Cajun's queue is one of the worst in the park.. It's so boring and too compact. The sun is also horrible. They definitely need some themeing and shade.

It also gets annoying when they add trains at like 11-12 AM.. Why not put all three trains before opening? Especially if it's a Friday and you're expecting high crowds. I had to wait longer in two lines because of that.

I'm sorry for getting off topic. lol.. won't happen again.

I don't mind adding trains...if it takes 5 minutes but drops the wait from 30 minutes to 20 minutes then it's worth it. At Raging Bull, it took literally 30 seconds to move the transfer track, bring the train forward, and move the transfer track back. (Obviously, they still had to send a train empty so that they could unload the one behind it, so that took up another two minutes.)

Parks don't allow cameras even despite their 'damaged property' statement because under 3+ G's a camera can get hard to hold onto.

Also, if it does strike someone and happen to kill them, then the park is going to get A LOT of negative press, and will undoubtably get sued at one point or another.

Sure its the parks fault. They let cameras on the ride, and then a guest loses control of it. It strikes and KILLS another guest. The park is at fault for not preventing the accident. They go to court and the park WILL LOSE that case for being negligent.
YOU ARE A FAILURE AT LIFE!

I swear.... there are certain times when you can take cameras on...but usually only with special permission and a specially set aside time from one of the parks operating departments. I highly suggest NO ONE takes a camera on any ride, for risk of getting ejected out of the park (let alone killing someone).
