65skylark Posted June 22, 2007 Author Share Posted June 22, 2007 Yeah, you people are making an issue over nothing. If you saw the picture before I removed it, than you would have noticed it turned out like crap. The only reason I took it in the first place was just because I was walking by, and thought it would be fun to put it in this PTR. I wasn't trying to "steal" anything from CP. Believe me, they got PLENTY of my money that day. You can go to a Disney park and stand around all day long taking pictures of the monitors and they will do nothing. You know why? Because they will still sell a crap load of those pictures anyway. Well, that, and they have MUCH better customer service than CP. but that's to be expected. Bottom line, I wasn't trying to break any rules, I wasn't trying to take any money from CP, and I removed the picture as soon as the issue was brought up.

10ryansmith Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 I don't know if other people have said this but, the reason that CP shuts down DT is because of the fast that . . . it leaks. DT was an outdoor coaster once but when it came to CP, they decided that they wanted it indoors. Since the walls and the roof leak, water puddles in areas. Again, so if someone else has metioned this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saecron Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 Seems someone takes their job abit to serious. It is wonderful that you are that caught up in your job that much but you are telling me that the On-Ride Booth Nazies can get someone kicked out of the park for such a minor thing. That is pretty laughable if you ask me. We NEVER kick them out on the first offense. We always warn them politely first. The other day, we had a woman who, after being warned (and having her monitor deactivated), decided to give us attitude and try and snap photos of all of the monitors (even the ones that were not hers). We called security on her, but even she wasn't kicked out. I've been pestering my supervisor to buy us some signs, but they're not our biggest priority at the moment. Still, this is hardly a minor thing - it's breaking copyright law, not just our own silly rules. Regardless, I never think less of a person for trying it once. I understand entirely, especially considering the lack of signs. It's only when someone scoffs or continues after being warned that I get photo-nazi on them. 65Skylark, I believe, handled this rather well. As for those of you who do not respect our rule or brag about breaking it, I look forward to enforcing it myself should we ever meet in person. The only reason for bickering about CP's policy that I can understand is the issue concerning signs. That's why we always warn first - and that's why we rarely kick anyone out over it. Once they've snapped the photo, they don't NEED to break the rule again, at least not at that coaster (where they would recognize that guest). That guest, the one who gets his picture before we can dump it, has won. He needn't be after a high quality photo he can display on his mantle, he may have just wanted to show his friends the silly face he made or whatever. Either way, he succeeded in making use of it without needing to buy it, and he is free to do so at any other coaster he wants since each one has a different crew and will have to assume it was his first offense. Rather than dismiss EVERYONE from the park the first time they try it, we warn them first and thus pretty much allow EVERYONE to get away with it, as they only need to do it once to get what they were after. Still, we have kicked people out over a few circumstances - one involved a person being transferred to cover a break at another coaster only to witness a guest they warned earlier repeat the offense after not expecting to see that employee again. A few others involved guests snapping more photos in rebellion after being warned - that sort of thing we have very little tolerance for. Just remember: we took these photos, we have every right to keep them to ourselves. No one has any "right" to take pictures of them, even if they weren't planning to buy them anyway. If you want your friends to see it, remember your number and we'll be glad to help you show it to them later. Even if you don't consider it "wrong," it is at least very rude to photograph someone else's property without even asking. [edit] By the way, as for those of you who admit a disregard for this rule, I think we have a precedent to appeal to on this matter. Remember the "getting away with a POV" thread, and Robb's response? Follow the park rules, ask for permission, and be prepared to deal with the consequences if you are caught doing something you shouldn't be. Going on an internet website admitting that you plan on breaking park rules is about as smart as someone robbing a liquor store, then going online and bragging about it. --Robb "Not smart" Alvey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taterxd Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 I have a question about CP: Whats with the whole starlight thing? do they kick you out of the park or just start selling discount tickets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xtreme-me Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 Ok, I have a question about this picture. On the sides of the train, the details look really awesome but are they lit up? If so, that would be awesome especially at night! What? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ParkTrips Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 We NEVER kick them out on the first offense. earlier in the thread... If they give us an attitude, we'll do it on the first offense. it is at least very rude to photograph someone else's property without even asking. I'll be sure to drag the pr guy around the park next time I visit. I want a photo of every one of their trash cans, and even if it would take 3 months, I wouldn't want to take a picture without permission. Maybe I should get expressed written consent, just to be safe, because I don't want to be rude. damn I hate Cedar Point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcjaco Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 ^^ That's a POV video. You could be putting other people at risk for injury. That's not even remotely the same as taking a picture of your on-ride photo. Talk about taking one of Robb's quotes totally out of context....grrr.
