Photography Tips
No drones or selfie sticks on rides. Tripods are allowed in open areas if not blocking guests.
Best light: Mid-morning yields vibrant colors on the towers; late afternoon’s golden light creates dramatic shadows.
Angles: Shoot sharks through the tunnel at Leap of Faith (safely from inside tube), or use the monorail station above for wide shots.
Gear: Use waterproof cases for cameras and phones. Valuables can be stored in lockers (for a fee).
