Michael, i could get in trouble for putting up the videos, since employees are on this forum is what I found out.

If this goes against SFGAMworld, I will not post, I have gotten a warning already, and I really like this place and dont want to get banned.

If on ride videos dont go against the rules, I will post them.

as for the official DDR machine, ya its at the exit of the bumper cards. DO NOT BRING A PS2 MEMORY CARD! ITS A PSX MEMORY CARD SLOT, BECAUSE THE PS2 WAS A NEW RELEASE WHEN THE GAME CAME OUT!
sorry for the caps, but last time I told people at the DDRFreak.com forum, their like "sweet memory card slots! i am going to bring my PS2 one". So caps is the only way to get attention on forums now a days.

also you will not be able to read the data because its japanese. Just put it in the machine, and dont pull it out until it says "o.k.! Dont forget your memory card!"

like I said sorry for all that.

Do not think of posting the videos, also please do not take anymore. You are putting people that work in the vicinity of the rides in danger of flying objects. That and it is against park rules so if any employee sees you breaking them you will be removed from the park.

ya, one guy on viper did tell me to put the camera away, but I went on again with no problem. I also was told 2 yaers ago that if I was to take pictures, or a video I had to hold onto the camera, and have a strap around my arm. the camera was tied to my wrist, and if I let go it would have fallen an inch because its tied to my wrist.

You were told wrong if I or anyone else see you and you are taking video or pictures on the ride you can be removed. I do not feel like getting injured while doing my job.

I wouldn't leave the TP picture there. Good pictures though, and trip report.

yeah, you were told 2 years ago. obviously you havent noticed a lot of the rules have changed. ive seen lots of people get told to put their camera away. at least the guy at viper was doing his job, when the other people that let you get away with it werent. the rule is nothing in your hands, even the kids at Giant Drop literally ask to see your hands, and the kids at Vu tell people all the time they cant ride with anything from purses thats cant be attached to the body somehow all the way down to cameras and flip flops. they can either leave it in the box, or with a non-rider or put things that can fit, in their pockets such as cameras.

did you by anychance put the camera in your pocket, and then take it out when you were out of the station, cause in my eyes thats the only way they wouldnt be able to notice it unless they were flat out not paying attention.

The real reason why this rule has changed is because Six Flags got sued big time (more than a million) at there former park, Six Flags Ohio. Yes, it is a safety issue also, but they want to make sure it doesn't happen again. Some say people were throwing rocks at the train, while another person says they got hit by a cell phone. Anyway, they got pelted, and won. So, Six Flags is really beefing up on this type of stuff nowadays especially cameras.
