Sure are! All edit rooms have A/C but aren't cushy. Space Mt. photo edit is my very fav location to work. Amazing to see what Stupidity guests try at such high speeds. ToT is a fun edit also. Lots of really SGTs at ToT :twisted: Never a dull moment with 3 shafts & 3 monitors to watch. ToT seems to go 101 more than most IMHO. Maintenance told me Space Mt. printers are the worst to quickly fix. They go 101 at least 2xs per 8 hr. shift. Causes just a wee bit of chaos
Edit room at Splash is great! We can eat & drink. Even have a little refrig. The fringe benefits of Disney.

Just curious, what system/software do you use at Disney?
I'm just wondering because I used to work in ride photo at Cedar Point and I was offered a CP merchandise position at Disney for Spring 2006, but ended up declining because I was offered a promotion to Team Leader if I stayed at Cedar Point. It's a long story, but on my first day back at Cedar Point in March, I also got a job offer from a travel agency to become a Certified Disney Specialist, so I ended up leaving my job at Cedar Point. I find it kind of ironic that I went from thinking I was going to be working at Disney in December to selling Disney vacations for a travel agency in March. Even though I love my new job and it pays far more than working at the park, I still kind of wish that I would have stayed because I miss it so much.
Partially because of that reason, I am considering giving the college program another shot sometime in 2007, either in merchandise or (hopefully) in hospitality or operations.
Anyway, back to ride photo...
Cedar Point uses ISI RidePix for all of the coasters except Woodstock Express, which still has an older ISI ParkPix system from back when they used to sell both ride photos and character photos at one location.
Cedar Point used Picsolve systems from 1989-2000 until they tested RidePix at Millennium Force. I've been told by the people that worked at the park back when there were still some Picsolve systems in use that they always had problems with them because they weren't PC-based systems and they couldn't preview the photo before they printed it like they can with ISI. Anyway, I guess the ISI system was successful at Millennium Force because the entire park switched to ISI RidePix in 2001 and people that have been around long enough to see both systems (there are only 2 such people that still work there) that the ISI system is far superior.

Not long ago my picture at Tower of Terror wasn't being shown. I went to ask why and they said "Because you did something unsafe and we can't put it on the screen." I said "No.... I didn't..." and they said "Yes.... you did." I asked to see the picture.... and they then realized that I wasn't the one doing something wrong. It was someone who looked nothing like me at all. I was kind of angry at the accusation =P

The "proper" Disney answer to this ToT question I was told to speil is]

Not sure if they still do this, but I know at Splash if people wanted to buy a photo but couldn't do so because somebody else on the boat did something dumb, they were allowed to ride again so they could purchase the picture from the second ride.

Sometimes we have to delete photos of guests who have open food or beverage containers. Along with any non Disney - like behaviors. We can't delete photos of guests who are doing the Nazi salute or any gang signs. it is because of how the picture may have caught it. Guests might be waving or using sign language to someone else.
At the Buzz here we are supposed to delete anything with a hand gesture. Even just waving at the camera. I had one guy tell me that we were un-american for deleting a peace sign.

Oh boy, I used to know someone who did photo edit at Splash Mountain. And let me tell you, some of the things she had seen were unbelievable. This includes certain acts that came right out of an adult movie and should not be viewed in public.

During my Buzz training, my trainer told me not to delete some hand gestures such as the Nazi Salute because the guest might be waving to the family and that is how the camera caught it. Same thing for gang signs, the guest might be using sign language.
