So true!

I could do without the smokers area :(

I second that. :)

I can only imagine how much thicker the smoke will be in those areas. :(

Im happy that the stadium is not being used this year. No more guys in spedos while waiting in line for WT! ;)

The only smokers spot I dont like is the one next to Mavericks turn. I hope I dont have to hold my breath when riding that section.

^^ That was the best part of WT's line! :)

I think the speed and air from Maverick will push the smoke away from the ride, not into it.

The on-ride videos sound awesome!...as long as they are reasonably priced. I hope they keep them under $20.

The tech is way too cool!

^^^That's IF the ploom isn't already looming over the track by the time a train gets to that area.

Will people be able to preview the on-ride videos like the on-ride photos?

I betcha they would have to go through your photo number before they could get your on ride video, that's my guess. To me thats the only way they could look you up through the system. Another way is they could ask you what car you were sitting in and what row, that might work too.

Camera's on Raptor? Weird.

The problem I see with letting people preview their videos is that it could take a long time. With the amount of people that will most likely get the video, it'd take forever if they went through every persons video to see if they do or do not like it. Perhaps it'll be a "you bought it, you'll like it.....no matter what!" deal.:)

As long as the price isn't over $30 I can guarantee I'm buying one no matter what. I think the idea is awesome. There's no better way to remember your experience. I hope they expand this option if it is successful this year. Maybe MF and TTD? TTD would be great to people's faces throughout the entire ride.

My one question where the cameras will go on Raptor. It makes sense to put the cameras on the row in front of the seat, but what about the front row?

Too large of crowds watching their videos didn't seem to be a problem at PCW last summer (I believe it was for Top Gun, but don't hold me to it). Of course, Canadians are generally more polite and less likely to perform rude things in front of the camera.

I wonder if Raptor will put a camera on each seat not just car. Also I hope in the future if this works out they put a camera on Millennium Force or Top Thrill Dragster.

If it's anything like what I've seen elsewhere, each row's camera(s) will be mounted to the row in front of them. The front row's cameras will be mounted to a bracket installed, sticking out of the front of the train, specifically for the camera.

I do know that you can also puchase photo stills from your ride, too.

Do you think CP will add any extra coaster videos to the DVD? :)

If you're that worried about it, do us all a favor and stay home. We could all use a little less air pollution.
