Broken On-Ride Photos

are there any not working on-ride photos on coasters that you know about? if so, then why do you think they're not working?

Twister II at SFEG has a broken on-ride photo. The last time I saw it working was back in 97'. The photo station is covered and the camera and flash is still there.

Magnum at CP has the camera thing, but, if its there, it's never on. Did they move that to MF? Also, we had gotten a pretty good pose on the back off Mean Streak. But, as we came to the little picture shop, the back T.V. was broken.

The Great American Scream Machine's camera was broken for a long time. I noticed this year that it was fixed

Raptor's on-ride photo was not working for the two and one half days I spent at Cedar Point:(. By the way, I think SFEG ditched Twister II's photo since Boomerang has one.

I find Magnum's on-ride pic not working a little hard to believe considering the fact that one time this year when there was a problem with the sensor for the camera, we had to empty our line and take the ride down for about 15 minutes (management request) to fix it. I thought it was kind of silly at the time, but apparently, CP makes a buttload of money off of those on-ride pics and a lot of people buy them and were mad that they weren't working.

Batman's on-ride photo booth at SFStL hasn't been working for years. Also, Mr. Freeze's wasn't working last time I was there, but usually it is working, so maybe they just had a problem that day.

SFMM has been working on theirs for a while. The past two visits one in late 2000 and one in June of this year saw S:TE's broken as well as Viper's being replaced. Goliath was working but intermittantly.

I'm a season pass holder at CP and go quite often, and I've never seen the on-ride photos down for any of the rides that have them, although I have seen a monitor or two blacked out, but that may not be due to the monitor being broken. My hubby and I "posed" for a pic on Magnum once that I think may have gotten censored.

Don't know if they're broken, but the on-ride photos for Hurler and Vortex at PC are no operable as of a month ago.
-----------------
I rode "X" and never went upside down.

Oh also, Canyon Blaster at the Adventuredome is really ghetto. Right before I quit it wasnt working. I went back to visit and it no longer takes the pictures for the whole last car. GHETTO!

I think Viper's photo is now fixed, though I may be wrong. Superman the Escape was completely gone last time I went. I wonder how long it takes to fix them.

Everytime i'm at CP, the Magnum one is always on. I have no clue what you're talking about. i've been there about 12-14 times this season (since it's only an hour and 15 minutes away from me) and it's been working everytime.
Six Flags WOA, however....their photo booths are NEVER working. the last time I saw Serial Thriller's open, the ride was brand new. Batman's is never working, either. there is always a sign up that says "No On-Ride photos today, sorry"

Yes, Viper's is back and better than ever. You can actually see more than one section of the train at a time now. HUGE improvement. The camera is still in the same place, between the 2 inversions of the batwing. (or butterfly, or whatever the heck they are calling that element these days)

Superman's is still AWOL, but the booth remains.

"X" marks the spot in 2001! (maybe)

Talk about a stupid topic.

Then don't respond to it and save us all from having to read a topic that was only updated with your pointless post.

I think it's a 50/50 chance with American Eagle's on ride photo at SFGAm. I haven't seen the blueside camera working. And the red is only open half the time I'm there. Quite dissapointing at times.

The Chillers photo was working all season but now that the Batman sides gone and only Robin is open they have the photos shut down for the rest of the season. I'm assuming the rest of the season since I've been there 2 times since Robin opened and both times the Robin photos were closed.
Also Mind Eraser at SFDL has a closed up photo booth perminatly.
Also I agree with Jeff if you think the topics stupid don't bother responding.

When I went to Great America in July, the blue side's on-ride camera was working. I went there for three days and it worked every time I rode American Eagle.

When did you visit the park?

I visited the park 2 times in June, once in at the beginning of July, Once at the Beginning of August, and I'll be there once more for Fright Fest. The Blue train has only been open once when I was there, and the camera wasn't working. I guess I just don't have the great of luck.
