Several on ride passes of the Scorpion model from Coasterdynamix. Filmed with slight variations in the camera mounting, angle to the sun, long and short train setups. Also varied the speed at which I 'slowed down' the video, attempting to find the sweet spot for playback.
Keep in mind, it takes about 5 seconds fro the train to complete the course. At 30 frames per second, that yields only 150 frames for the entire ride. Although its a fairly clear picture for the speed at which it traveled, it will appear more like stop-motion animation. Until I find a camera with a higher frame rate, this is how it is going to be.
