Pretty sure it’s never had one. From memory neither did Klondike gold mine or its previous incarnation. I think the log flume was the first ride with photos.

I think it really needs it as if there offering 4 for £20 deal currently it’s for
- Accelerator
- Stormforce*
- Shockwave*
- Apocalypse*
- Troublesome Trucks
- Sodor Classic Cars
- Winston's Whistle-Stop Tours (This is a green screen where you can choose from 4 different engine backgrounds
- Thomas Land Driving Licence
- Now really I wouldn’t want 1 on any of the Thomas rides and attractions and I don’t want 1 on Stormforce so they really got to add it on the Buffalo.
It would be better if they had proper on ride photos for Winston as given it’s an elevated ride the background would look quite good. I’ve seen very few people actually have their photos taken on the green screen.

I think they're going to put it either on the lake spiral or the final spiral?
The backdrop of the lake would be quite cool

Yeah but it's more likely to be the second spiral. I just have a feeling it will be.
I think they will be putting it on the final spiral, it'd be challenging to get the camera on the lake, and to run the cables over a path, it's easier to pass it through the ride area itself. I'd like to see Sheriff's Showdown get a camera, pictures on there would sell well - especially with the scores printed onto it.
I think duel at Alton towers does this with scores. I think they would sell well.

Is the camera been installed yet?
We’re currently unsure, we couldn’t see anything from where we were, and the area surrounding the buffalo is currently closed, so we couldn’t get a closer look at this. Will keep you posted!

It's nice that they're saving the camera booth and not wasting anything!!!

I think it’s more than to sell the 4 photos for £20 deals more as they lost it on G force and it’s been not available on the rapids for 3 years.
I think it should go on the final helix area as it’s the most thrilling bit.

I agree because it seems to speed up around that section so you'd get a better photo in terms of the mini thrills!!!

Yep and I think we know now there's nothing coming in 2020 except those new zoo additions!!!
Has this been confirmed then?
Theme Park Musician

The zoo additions have and I can't really see the park getting anything new in just for 3 weeks before opening day!!
I think it will be done, the park seem to have tonnes of maintenance staff, this should be an easy move.
We don't know that this is 100% fact, Drayton Manor are great at adding little surprises throughout the season, there is always change...

Good point. They sometimes take soo long but eventually announce it
