mattnz Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Wow, the ride still looks utterly mad. How is it nowadays in terms of roughness? (I haven't ridden since 2010 and know it's gone through a lot of reprofiling over the years.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerstlaueringvar Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Looks a bit too much to handle, but still would love to try it out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingRCT3 Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 I tried to do a loopy gif of Intimidator 305 out of the latest backrow POV posted on the channel: Not that bad. Put it to good use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robbalvey Posted May 10, 2015 Author Share Posted May 10, 2015 (edited) And here is Intimidator 305 from the back row! Some interesting things about this video: - It really does run a bit slower because it was early in the morning and without any riders. An extra 5,000 pounds of people sure does make a huge difference! - Interesting to see how much the cars seem to rattle when they are empty, but later in the day filled with riders they didn't do this at all! - What do you all think of backseat POVs? I gotta be honest, in a way I sort of prefer them to front seat. Edited May 10, 2015 by robbalvey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingRCT3 Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 What do you all think of backseat POVs? I gotta be honest, in a way I sort of prefer them to front seat. I really enjoy them, as much as front row's. It's not as popular on YT and that's a shame. Rides are so much different from the back row! The ideal situation to shoot a backseat POV in my opinion is to have an empty train, with a few people in the front rows. That way nobody blocks the view, but having some people give a sense of scale - plus you can feel better what it's like by watching peeps than watching a totally empty train.

Coaster Hero Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Great POV! When I went on I305 I sat in that exact seat, so I relived the moment a bit . Curious, how did you mount your camera in the back seat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCjunkie Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 - What do you all think of backseat POVs? I gotta be honest, in a way I sort of prefer them to front seat. Don't if I like one over the other but I do like the different 'feel' of the ride you get from the backseat POV. I think it would be cool if you did a front and back POV of the same run, then synced the two views side by side in a split screen or a maybe a back and forth synced cut between the two views.

cfc Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 It's nice to see the rest of the train in relation to the ride, as you see mostly track in front-seat POVs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy T. Koepp Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 I actually love the backseat POVs. Especially with a ride like this as "twisty!" as it is. It's cool to watch the mechanics of the train approaching and going through the elements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superbatboy Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 You almost FEEL the ride more from the backseat POV. Interesting how slow it runs (relatively speaking) in the morning especially the section after the trim hill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferk60 Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 The back seat was different, I agree with all your points above however I think that the back seat is a different feel perspective and this is still my favorite roller coaster! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halltd Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 I like both angles. But, I prefer the back POV on rides that aren't suspended because that's where I always tend to sit anyways. Thanks for the vid! This is one of my favorite coasters! Can't wait to ride Maverick this season with the same restraints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GCI Wooden Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 I'd love to see some more backseat videos with empty trains. I wouldn't want one with a full train because you could just be staring at someone's head for the duration of the ride (I'm ok with this when you are showing off a ride's "Hair-time". By the way, Intimidator was the perfect ride for a backseat because of all the twisty bits! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bert425 Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 I like seeing the backseat, but if only allowed one?. . please stick to front seat. Front seat is like being on the ride. . backseat is like watching it on the screen. as noted, I do enjoy both, but prefer front row! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Generational Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 I agree with the statement someone made about syncing two videos of the front and back. I think for coasters such as I305, or Maverick at CP, among other rides of the same nature, it does add an extra element to provide a back seat video as well as a front POV, because you would be able to enjoy the elegance of the track with the front POV, as well as how the train moves and twists with the track with a back seat video Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingRCT3 Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 It's a personnal opinion, but for me split-screen videos (or picture-in-picture thingy) are absolutely the worst thing ever to do for a coaster video. It's just distracting, and anyway I'm going to play it twice to focus each time on one part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy T. Koepp Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 ^Yeah, I'm not rea big on tha split screen thingy. I would rather watch each POV and Reverse POV in full 75" HD glory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 I think using split screen depends on the nature of the ride. Robb used it pretty effectively in putting together the Tempesto video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
