Sonofbaconator Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 What's up guys? I'm kinda new here but I spend most of my time on KICentral.com. Someone recently posted a question about GoPro filming on rides and we've all had that same question. Want do you have to root film rides? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 ^ I think you're asking what you need to do to film rides? For most big parks, like Kings Island, cameras are NOT allowed on their roller coasters at any time. You would need to contact a member of their PR team, be a production company, and have a reason to come in and film. It's highly unlikely you'd be allowed to film at any Cedar Fair park. -Robb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
booink Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 I will answer too . Personnaly I own a french website about roller coasters and theme parks, and I've asked a park to film a coaster, and even if I'm not very known yet, they accepted to let me film. I can't guarantee they'll let you if it's for personnal purpose, but I would suggest to send them an e-mail and ask. If you're lucky they'll say yes. Try !

I should also point out that the European parks have much more relaxed rules about filming on coasters than the US parks. What is "ok" for a park in Europe will often get you banned from a park in the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
booink Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 (edited) ^That coaster was in Québec city, Canada, not Europe... Edited March 10, 2013 by booink Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 ^ Please don't roll your eyes at me. I should have said, "I should also point out that PARKS OUTSIDE OF THE USA have much more relaxed rules about filming on coasters than the US parks. What is "ok" for PARKS OUTSIDE OF THE USA will often get you banned from a park in the US." I'm not wrong. Don't be rude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
booink Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Sorry, I don't meant to be rude... I just wanted to mention that the park where I got the authorisation to film was in Canada and not Europe. I never said you were wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 ^ Thanks for clearing that up. Just so you know, rolling eyes usually is a sign of disrespect or disregard. It's normally used when you think very little of what someone says and you are talking down to them and being condescending. So your comment came off to me like "Stupid, Robb, I wasn't even in Europe...geez..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gforce1994 Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 And couldn't bringing a camera on a ride be possibly dangerous for people below? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
booink Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 ^Cameras are generally forbidden on rides, for safety reasons principally but also because the parks simply don't want to have cameras on the rides and peoples to film them. For most big parks, like Kings Island, cameras are NOT allowed on their roller coasters at any time. You would need to contact a member of their PR team, be a production company, and have a reason to come in and film. I think this previous answer from Robb pretty much sums it up.
