Is the old roller coaster with the backdrop still there?

The old coaster and log flume pleasure Beach area was closed. It looked like an abandoned amusement Park in Chernobyl. Not sure if it has gone out of business totally or just closed for ā€˜the durationā€™

Just checked, it opens for the season this weekend

Check out this bollocks from ā€˜TheDroneGodā€™

Didnā€™t warrant a preview box , but amongst the worst Iā€™ve seen (given the youtube name I maybe expected too much)

Check out this bad boy

Jeez

Not to hijack the thread though Brian your shot is epic.

Maybe head back there and get some footage of pleasure beach whilst itā€™s shut off you didnā€™t already?

Thatā€™s a great shot love the sunset

I like the way he lists drone safety in the description- and then takes off from the central reservation as an open top bus parks next to him!

Bookmarking that so if ever Iā€™m feeling down, I can watch it and itā€™ll make my flying/editing look ā€œgodā€ like :wink:

Great shot btw @Brian- the light coming through the carriages looks immense!

Thanks for the kind reply. His flying was bad enough, but the camera control made me feel queasy.

I got loads of shots and video of Yarmouth and Gorleston on sea.I tend to put them on Instagram directly from phone for family and fiends (not a spelling error lol). Iā€™ll have a shufti and see what Iā€™ve got. Thereā€™s a nice one looking straight down on Merrivale model village at Yarmouth.

The light coming through the wheel carriageā€™s windows, is perfect!

I arrived at 0410am to wait for the sun to rise at 0435. What the missus thought and said as she rolled over to continue with her sleep when I left the hotel with my drone is unprintable lol.

Love the picture @Brian - great work and effort especially at that time in the morning.

@milkmanchris - that has to be one of the worst drone videos Iā€™ve seen in a while.
I particularly like how he outlines the rules only to break every one of them when he takes to the skies.
Proper oxygenthief !

Sadly his other vids on YT are just as bad, camera jinking about like itā€™s breakdancing. I noted that comments are turned off for his vidsā€¦I wonder why!! All I would wish is that he joins Grey Arrows and learns filming skills from watching and asking how itā€™s done from our members who, letā€™s face it, produce some truly amazing footage.
