Whar is the deal with them not racing the racer
I remember riding it when it still had Buzz bars (single restraint for the whole row) which were the standard restraints on wood Coasters at the time. Beast also had the same restraints.

Top Gun Closed...
Actually it is too short to run 3 trains , Actually Length of the ride has nothing to do with it really, plus it goes 78 M.PH. where as Beast is longer, and can run 3 trains but it also has more blocks than SOB does. If they ran 3 trains on it, it would set up on the mid course all the time, in which wouldn't help capacity anyways.

On Ride Video
I believe the original question was taking video of the rides from the midways, which I believe is ok, although i know some parks which it isn't allowed. However I do know there is absolutly no taking of pictures/videos of anytype while on the ride.

Bavarian Beetle
The "Rotor" was a ride in which where you stood up against the the wall of a circular ride, and the ride started to spin, and eventually the floor was lowered so there would be no floor below you during the ride leaving only centripetal force to keep you against the wall.

Pics and video
Not all parks prohibit picture taking on rides, and maybe they ave written persmissionf from the others. Also there are some parks (not mentioning names) where you cant even film rides from the midway. In fact someone made a movie about coasters, and for this park they had "unautherized footage for all of it including a picture of a picture haning on a wall in one of the park resturants.

Top Gun
I think the theming on that ride was pretty cool, with the fog on when the train came into the station. Also remember the airplane drawings on the wall under the SOB exit bridge? They painted over it and put an American Flag.

Top Gun
Back in 1999 and earlier, the line use to go under that station, over some wood bridges, and through a themed effects room, which is now closed off, due to needing an additional person down there while it was open. Now the line cuts off to the right before where it use to, adn straight up the steps.
