^ That looks to me more like an on-ride photo that never got implemented. I'm not sure what the value would be in placing a camera pointing specifically at that piece of track.

Like Rick said, most if not all coasters have cameras pointed at lift hills, brake runs, launches, etc. That's where you gotta check to see where trains are located in the event of a stoppage, as well as check for guests with cameras going up lifts. I don't believe it's widespread practice to have thorough camera coverage on the rest of the course.
