Latest responses to “How To Get A Free Roller Coaster Photo At Six Flags or Disney World” Copyright 2013, MoneyBlueBook.com 426180 2009-08-31T00:25:31-07:00 Raymond Honey, Yes Six Flags or Disney technically owns those images on the display TV sets. However, if I use my own digital camera to snap a photo of those images, I believe it's perfectly legal to keep them as my own. The amusement park may have policies prohibiting park patrons from engaging in such practices and ultimately boot me out of the park, but I doubt they'd be that anal about it. Of course, I might be wrong! 426170 2009-08-30T23:33:31-07:00 Honey It's illegal to do that you can get in trouble if you are caught by the wrong person if they want to be an A.hole. Six flags/Disney owns those images so yeah they will get mad if you do that if the guys behind the monitors don't say anything to you I guess they don't care or too busy or maybe someone forgot to tell them or they aren't jerks lol either way try to be discrete if you go to do that. 426150 2008-08-14T17:04:32-07:00 philip I was recently at the St. Louis Arch, they do a little photo op as you are about to go up. The pictures were on the wall afterwards. Anyway back to the point, there was a sign saying that it is illegal to take a picture of the images that are up. At a federal facility like that it would be a really bad idea to try it. 426130 2008-08-07T13:00:20-07:00 Vince For all of you think your getting a quality photo, you are wrong. It cracks me up how so much of you think the better the mega pixel the better photograph (research this on-line), keep in mind your taken a picture of a TV set. The quality is low and most of you have no clue how to print photos accuratly. Any picture that is supplied from a company with their own equipment and you take a photo of this, your are in the wrong with copyright laws. There are many different laws regarding copyright. I work for a company who does these photos and we had a lawer look at our rights and we are covered by the copyright law. Though, we can't catch everyone, but for the most part we do. Just like if you walked into a photographers studio and why he/she is taken a picture and you snap one off while he/she is doing this you are in the wrong. It's the same thing at a park. That place you veiw the photos is the studio. Use your heads! The person above is good at trying to ruin business for others cause of what he thinks he pays. The reason why parks charge alot is to keep the parks running. they do have people who fix these rides. So if you want to rob them of that, then you will have no parks to attend. Go shop at walmart and ride the little rides out by the door if you want to save money. 426140 2008-07-22T18:18:09-07:00 bethh This to me smacks of stealing. If you don't want to pay for the picture, then don't. They're a pretty stupid gimmick anyway! 426160 2008-07-21T13:49:27-07:00 Tiffany (Life on the Road: Home Business, Homeschool and Cats!) I don't think anyone will say that the quality "doesn't matter"... But as a previous comment stated - if I can't afford the pricey photo they offer, this is WAY better than nothing! 426080 2008-07-18T16:36:17-07:00 Mimoji Raymond, The "pictures of pictures" that my family took were actually with film cameras, and no digital camera can beat that quality. I say "bad" because it is not like the quality you would get if you simply made a reproduction of the photograph. When you take a photo of a television, you are undoubtedly going to get some glare, even some horizontal lines, b/c cameras aren't meant to take photos of television screens. I challenge you - the next time you go to an amusement park, take a picture of the screen and then buy that same photo. You will definitely see the difference. But of course, if photo quality doesn't really matter to you, then my point is moot. 426110 2008-07-18T15:06:21-07:00 Raymond Mimoji, Digital camera technology has advanced quite a bit over the years. You'd be surprised...with my 10 Mega Pixel super zoom digital camera, you'd be amazed at how clear and accurate the photo shots can get. With one of those handycam video cameras that piraters use to record movies in the theater work, they are shooting the films from way back in the audience - a distance of quite a ways away. Plus, not only are they zooming in from afar (which lowers the quality drastically) they are video recording in the dark (which is inherently lower resolution quality than regular digital photos). But taking shots of a rollercoaster video display, you are only shooting from 5-7 feet away at most. The digital photo results are quite decent! 426100 2008-07-18T15:02:47-07:00 All for Frugality Hey it might not be a "good-quality" photo, but at least you'll have a picture. Better to have something of "lower" quality vs. having nothing at all! 426090 2008-07-18T14:55:29-07:00 Mimoji Free photo, yes. But is it a good-quality photo? Probably not. My family has taken pictures of pictures in the past, and the photo quality is quite bad. An accurate comparison to these "free photos" would be someone taking their video camera into a movie theater. Sure, you'll get to see the movie, but the color will be off, you'll see the projection curtains, and perhaps the backs of people's heads. It's not worth the quarters that you'll save.
