jschmitty Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 So, I know that SeaWorld Entertainment has delayed all coasters from their SeaWorld and Busch Gardens parks til' next year, but is it that hard to upload POV's of Iron Gwazi, Pantheon, Icebreaker, Emperor, etc.? Sheesh, Hersheypark gave us theirs, Kings Island gave us theirs. So? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 So if they don't release the POV as soon as they can possibly film it, then what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thepoint4life23 Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 You mean you want POV for all the rides that have not open and sound like will not open till 2021? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike240SX Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 Last I heard was that SEAS was not allowed to operate any of their new coasters for failure to pay for them, so that might put a damper on filming POVs. Also, it's SEAS. You expect too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarlaKoaster Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 It doesn't make much sense to start promoting rides that people can't ride for the foreseeable future, and that's assuming they're even able to film from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southpuddle Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Schmitty, you seem like the type of enthusiast who would watch the aforementioned POVs, and then two minutes later start a thread titled “So what’s new for 2021?!” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KBrylczyk Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Yeah I mean geeze whats up with Universal not releasing that POV of the Velocicoaster already? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeoplemoverMatt Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Imagine wondering where POVs of 2020 coasters are in the midst of an ongoing global pandemic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jakizle Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Yes, they should release POVs to please needy enthusiasts instead of releasing them closer to the ride's opening day to attract guests. Some coasters (New Texas Giant) we didn't even get a POV until years AFTER it opened. While that was silly, so would be releasing POVs months before a ride is open. You want the hype to be closer to when people can actually give you their dollars to experience it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then, nothing.. but it would be fun and give us something to see while we’re stuck inside Parks don't release POV's for enthusiasts to binge watch. They're released for marketing reasons. Almost everything parks do is meant to draw people into the parks. Even charity donations are promotions to a degree. Aside from smaller write-off donations, has a park ever been caught silently making large donations for charitable causes? It's all fun and games, but in the end every single park operates to make a profit. They're businesses. The extra media will be released when it will benefit marketing the most. So, before you defend your stance using anecdotal evidence saying it's better to release them now, for whatever reason, you don't have the data. If it would financially help parks to release POV media now, they would do it. The creation of this thread is a perfect example of the annoying entitled enthusiast mentality.
