The system includes a plurality of video cameras fixedly or variably positioned at a plurality of fixed or variable locations remote from a conveniently-located viewstation having a plurality of television monitors and associated video camera jacks. The images gathered by the video cameras are continuously or intermittently displayed at one or more of the television monitors, so that a user having a video camera can connect the video camera to a video camera jack and independently record the image selected. For example, when the plurality of video cameras are positioned along a roller coaster path, the video camera can record a plurality of sequences of the roller coaster at spaced locations along the path.
