3rd webcam

why are the two cams pointed at the main midway and gatekeeper areas fixed, but the one atop power tower seem to move and face random areas of the park and Sandusky bay. Does someone control this one? If so, why does it point at random areas and for different lengths of time as well?

Like it faces the bay (which I like to view) then seems to roll back to facing the water park the most.

Tony does, unless I'm mistaken. As to why and where it gets pointed where it does, I'm sure he has his reasons.


Proud 5th Liner and CP fan since 1986.

Unless something changed, there's two on power tower. One on the front gate side, and one on the magnum side. Then another camera near Raptor facing towards the games.

I thought more than one of them moved?

All 3 can be directionally changed.

The one on top of Burger patio sometimes is pointed across Midway in the direction of Kiddie Kingdom,sometimes it's pointed down Midway showing Main Gate and 'running of the bulls'.

The one on 'eastside' of Power Tower has typically 4 different views,showing Windseeker-Wicked Twister-GateKeeper-Kiddie Kingdom-Games,down Midway but not showing parking lot,down midway and showing parking lot and causeway,at Valravn-Raptor-boat slips.

The one on 'westside' of Power Tower typically has 3 different views,Magnum-Cedar Point Shores,TTD-Gemini,MF-Rougarou-Maverick.

All three can be 'zoomed' to show specific areas/spots.

Since 2007,I've been 'save pic as jpeg' and/or 'shift print screen' of webcam views. I have about 500 images.

Sometime in the past couple of weeks one of the Power Tower cameras was pointed down showing at least a couple of legs.

both power tower cams are often pointed down,westward one showing TTD station/launch and Corkscrew station,eastward one showing luminosity area or Corkscrew 'corkscrews' and Iron Dragon ending helixes.

I mean nearly straight down, showing just the ride itself.

Yep, that view is kind of fun to watch.

I have 12 of those straight down pics and 8 that are very similar.
