About an hour ago, WESH 2 News announced that Disney is planning to now add hidden cameras around the wave pool in the recent light of the molestation attacks. It will now be more monitored and more efficiently handled than eyewitness accounts.
Sorry that it isn't more info. I can't seem to find anything else on it...
Complete at utter waste of time. Living in the land with the worlds highest percentage of CCTV surveillance I think you will find that statistically it doesnt reduce crime or improve conviction rates.

However as a token gesture in guest reassurance it ranks alongside the bag check and is equally useful. But no doubt it will count somewhere down the line if it happens again and may reduce a pay out in the almost guaranteed law suit that would happen.
Oh and who will be monitoring the cameras? I hope that no one of a voyeuristic naure will be employed to watch all those nubiles in swim suits.
Typhoon Lagoon already has cameras located around the park.
Base Operations, a tiny little room in a back trailer has control over these cameras located around the park. They are there mostly to watch the Slide Operators and Lifeguards. (Mostly because they do not trust their capabilities, as the cameras are frequently used to monitor performance.) Most cameras can be seen on poles; one at each attraction in the Dispatch area only. The only exception is that Gangplank Falls also has a camera at the Unload area. Crush n gusher (cameras only to monitor slide vallies), Shark Reef, Catchakiddie Creek, and the lazy river do not have cameras installed. These cameras are very powerful and the camera located above the wave pool can reach Singapore Sals (if trees were not in the way) and be able to produce a very clear color image of guests.
I don't see this really doing much.
Kinda creepy to think that, now someone is going to be zooming in on you while your in the wave pool to see "what" you might be doing. Lord help us, if lets say they catch two teens making out or holding hands? Will the local chastity police be called in to arrest them?
Maybe I'll pass on the water parks.
BTW- There is a new theory as to why this is all occurring so frequently now. It involves the use of "discounting" or "free promotions" that might tend to attract those who are on the fringes of society and would not normally visit WDW.
