King's Dominion craft: pretty interesting

people have been telling me that for years.

 

There's one thing that's bugging me about this clip, and it occurs about three seconds in. The guy's filming under a roof. This is supported by the fact that we're not hearing in wind noise, just the sound that could come from a restaurant or similar. Since I just went to our local county fair, I can tell you that it gets pretty noisy.

So what's he shooting? Probably the lens from some eyeglasses, or some similar disk, on the transparent roof of wherever he is. I'm not going to bother trying to do the parallax analysis on this machine I have, but it from the way it moves around when the camera moves (and from the way the clouds are moving behind it, as it they're way behind it), I think it's probably much closer to him than the ride is. Still, it's a neat picture.
