On Ride POV's

I think it would be nice if next year the park shot some night time POV's for the youtube channel.

What would be the point? You wouldn't be able to see much of anything. If they did it with a night vision camera, it might be cool.

You would get the end of the day experience when the park looks magical. If it was filmed just after sunset with good cameras you would be able to see a bit of the surroundings along with all the park lights. Some rides would be better than others of course. Not everyone would like it but I think it would make a nice addition.

I think night time POV's would be almost equivelant to the Disaster Transport POV made before it closed, pointless.

^Pretty much. Even with a good camera you are not going to see much other than darkness and some blurred light here and there.

I'm thinking something like this but done professionally with a slightly wider angle. Not in the toatal dark, just as the sun sets when you can still see a bit but the lights all show bright.

That could work, but I couldn't see them shutting a ride down or disrupting the flow to record one of these. Most of those POVs were probably filmed during morning test runs.

They could do it on a weekday when the park is only open weekends. I don't know that there would be much motivation for them to do it but I think it would be a nice thing to have available to watch in the off season.

I like this idea, and the vid Paisley provided is a good example. Imagine a video of the Millennium Force at twilight, and going up the lift hill the camera pans left to see Sandusky all lit up? Done at the right time on the right rides, it could be some really nice video, especially when watching during the winter months.

A sunset/twilight POV on some rides would be pretty cool. Although as others have mentioned, interrupting operations for such a thing would probably not happen.
