The Swing
Forum rules
At the old Disney Hyperion Studio, the screening room where animators would show animated scenes to Walt for his approval was small, with no ventilation or AC. Not only was it hot, but the animators were nervously awaiting Walt's reaction to their work. Thus, the room became known as the Sweatbox. Even after the Studio moved to Burbank and elegant screening rooms were offered to the staff, the moniker remained.
Now SGT has a sweatbox of our own. This is the place to find and post all entertaining topics such as video links, jokes, games, and the like. A general rule of thumb is that if the thread is meant to be informative (interesting news stories for example), or a topic for discussion (like setting up a park meet) then it should go in the Break Room, but if the intent is to entertain the masses then it's home is The Sweatbox. I'm sure there will be grey areas at times, so if you have doubt as to where a new thread should go, just use your best judgement and the SGT Staff will be glad to move it later if you guessed wrong.

Don't be fooled by appearances. In Hawaii, some of the most powerful people look like bums and stuntmen.

Re: The Swing
I've sent many people like that up on the Tower of Terror. Absolutely hilarious when you are operating that kind of ride.
My opinions are mine and mine only. If my opinions are the opinion of others who happen to share whatever my crazy views may be, then fine, but it's not because I represent them in having my opinions. Got it?
Re: The Swing
Soooo.... how did they happen to get that video? Looks like it was taken from a spot the guest couldn't reach. Do they video all the people who ride? And if so, do they have permission to release it? Or was this just a set up?

Re: The Swing
Some rides like that have a mounted camera, and they sell the video. I suspect that's what happened here. And they usually do have permission- for example, the back of Kings Island passes state, "The holder of this pass... grants Cedar Fair LP permission to use his or her photograph/video image in advertising or other promotions without payment to the holder." Go figure!WEDFan wrote:Soooo.... how did they happen to get that video? Looks like it was taken from a spot the guest couldn't reach. Do they video all the people who ride?

Re: The Swing
Or if it's like the rides on 192 and I-Drive, they advertise pretty well that you can get that video, so you know you're being recorded. I would also guess that the camera has dual purpose: the video to sell you and to observe you as you ride.
