SFMM Music Video

[rollercoasterfreak91]

Well, it's out now. I have footage of all of the coasters except for Ninja, Viper, X2, and Goliath Jr./Percy, because they were closed. An, here's a link to my freewebs site to watch it. It's really poor quality there; if you'd like a download, PM me and I'll email it to you.

(Keep in mind I did this with a point and shoot digital camera and no tripod, and edited it with Windows Movie Maker (also known as the worst video editing program on the face of the planet). But please, tell me what you think of it, I need some constructive critisism. (and I'd be especially interested in what whoever does the RCPro videos has to say.) If you actually read all that, here's the link (http://www.freewebs.com/schoolprojecto/downloads.htm).

That was pretty good! Keep up the good work.

[R.C.]

It was pretty good, especially for being shot with a still camera! I thought that a few of the shots were to zoomed in, but they weren't too bad.

I also liked the song. I thought that the shots really fit well with the song that you chose! Great job!

[Michael]

Good video! :D

I liked the angles, even though it was a little grainy.

Brownie points for the song :cool:

I saw an angle from my secret spot. :p

Still, nice video, it was really fun to watch!

Thanks. Hopefully I'll be putting out more in the future.

I'm surprised about that, as I thought most of the shots were too zoomed out. And I can adjust the zoom while filming. I was a lot happier with the somg than on my last video.

Thanks.

If you want a less grainy download I can email it to you or something.

^Yep, its a 100% guest area! Gives nice shots too!

^ Funny. I'm sitting here with a lead from Revolution in my house, he's looking at the photo and he says it's clearly NOT a guest area. He says:

"While there may not be something stopping you from going up there, security will bring you down from that area if they see you and we have to stop cycling the ride if we know someone is up there. You have to go behind the cafe and beyond an employee break area to find that staircase, and usually they have a trashcan blocking it. The ONLY way you can get up there is through the back entrance because the front entrance has a locked gate. I do not consider the back side of a building and through a break area 'guest accessible.'

By you telling people on a public forum that it is 100% a 'guest area' you are encouraging people to 'find' backstage entrances. And you really should not be doing that.

You are a frequent visitor of the park and you should KNOW BETTER not to go up there, regardless if the trash can blocking the staircase has been moved, or if the gate is left open."

I personally think it's very irresponsible of you to post these photos in areas that guests should not be in, telling people they are 100% legal, and then I see by the response below your photo that, because of your photo, someone else has gone to seek out this area.

By posting these "questionable" photos you are inviting others to be in potentially dangerous locations. I just don't understand how the staff of RCPro can be "ok" with this.

[Dan]

Pardon my ignorance, but what's a lead?

[robbalvey]

^ Guy who is in charge of the daily operation of the attraction.

So your saying that if there is nothing blocking you off that we should know it is off limits? I'm sorry, but if it is off limits as you say, then it should say so.. There's no way to know otherwise, that's all.

[JD71]

If it was truly offlimits as you claim, then SFMM would try to block it. Its right next to a guest dining area, and there's NOTHING blocking it off.

I've never seen a trash can in front of it, I've never seen it blocked off in any way. If SFMM doesn't want people there, then they should let the people know that they aren't allowed.

^ Yeah, Billy failed to mention the locked gate, doesn't he?

You guys are all just looking for excuses to be able to go into areas you're not allowed. That's all this is.

And here's the thing - by you guys all doing this you are making it harder for groups like TPR who actually WORK WITH THE PARK to be able to allow you all to do cool things like 'legal' backstage tours.

Some of you posted how cool it was that we got to go behind where Flashback was, walk through the X transfer shed, etc. Those are all things that the park will allow an organized group that they can TRUST.

And everytime someone from here or any other group either sneaks backstage or goes into an area where they KNOW they are not allowed, but blames the park, you are making it harder for TPR, RCPro, or any other website to be able to put together events for all of you where you can do really cool things.

Now, as for the area in question, look at these photos I shot today and honestly tell me if you think you SHOULD be going in here.

So here's the cafe at the front of the park.

http://www.themeparkreview.com/sfmmupdate_020308/sfmmcafe_02.jpg
Here is the bridge you can cross to get to the patio area where there are chairs and tables to have coffee.

http://www.themeparkreview.com/sfmmupdate_020308/sfmmcafe_03.jpg
And here is the patio. Guests are allowed here.

http://www.themeparkreview.com/sfmmupdate_020308/sfmmcafe_04.jpg
Here is the view behind the patio area where you can see an employee break table and out door vending storage. Does this *LOOK* like an area for guests? Does this area scream "Hey guests! Spend some time here?" No of course not. Use your COMMON SENSE.

http://www.themeparkreview.com/sfmmupdate_020308/sfmmcafe_05.jpg
And on the otherside of the platform where Billy took his picture is a LOCKED GATE.

So, let's recap here....

You have to go behind a building.
In an area with an employee break table.
Where this is Outdoor vending storage.
And on the other side if a locked gate.

Please tell me. Seriously. Does anyone REALLY think this is a "100% guest area?"

If you do, well, then IMO you DESERVE to get kicked out of the area by security, asked to leave the park and have your season pass revoked.

That's like me saying "It's ok for me to go down that path because the bench isn't blocking the ENTIRE entrance."

I've said enough. And I know I'm right.
