Raptor's On Ride Photo

I would have thought this would have been posted already here, but it hasn't. Everytime I rode Raptor this year my picture isn't very good. I notice a few days ago that the camera was moved to the last turn into the brakes instead of right before the last corkscrew. This is probably a better spot to get a clearer picture of the riders but why after 9 years would they change this?

Please delete this if a topic has been already made about this.

There are two cameras on Raptor, it just depends on what side of the train you are sitting on. They have not been moved.

Ah crap, I accidently deleted EVERYTHING instead of just one paragraph...

ah well, long story short, I think there are two camera locations, one for each side of the train. *** Edited 8/13/2004 2:54:03 AM UTC by Grovite18***

Ralph might be right about two cameras for getting pictures of both sides. But the lights you see before the cobra roll are a strobe light that goes off for an effect at night. I always remember seeing the camera right before the last corkscrew.

Edit: Here's where I remember the camera being. On the left side of the photo the dip behind the loop. *** Edited 8/13/2004 1:27:20 AM UTC by Gomez***

Oh, I see what you are talking about now. At first, I was like waht camera?

That strobe is on a motion sensor. When I used to do the final track walk, I always hoped I would find a hat or something big to throw into the beam to make the strobes go off :)

Yea, I know, Im easily amused!! :)
