I saw this video and it made me wonder. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JUdzb8Cl_68
You can skip ahead to 1:20. Were people actually allowed to sit on the edge of the lift hill.

I think those people are part of the media, recording the ride as it was it's opening day.

Those guys are just part of the media probably collecting photos and/or footage of it going up the lift to use in a paper or news segment.

Media with special permission. Not even team members are allowed to be on the lift when the ride is operating.

This. I was the one who provided the video to TPR from VHS I recorded back in the day. Robb put it on YouTube. Figured I would share with everyone what is now some pretty rare footage of the ride when it was at Great America.
