I've ridden Flight of Fear at King's Dominion before so I'd never really worried about riding the one at KI but it was a HOT Saturday and the queue was air conditioned. Yeah, big mistake.
While waiting for our ride I notice that they've fitted the ride with the on-ride video, this should be pretty cool if it's done well. The cameras for each front seat in each car are mounted to the front of the car while the back seats got a mount between the headrests of the front seats.
Anyone see where this is going yet?
We get in and sit down, launch wasn't too bad. Just after the launch the ride jerks your head back and forth about 2 times, the second was enough to toss mine into a bolt holding the camera to the mount. The video was pretty priceless but I'm too cheap to buy it. It pretty much showed our launch and me smack and grab my head followed by a very clear, "OW, I just hit my head on the camera mount". The girl working at the video booth must have found it pretty amusing since she played it for at least 3 more cycles of trains.
Has anyone else had this issue with the poor placement of the camera mounts yet or am I the first?
