Air Photo Image on Discovery Show

I am interested in the color air photo that was used on the Discovery Channel special. Someone in one of the other forums mentioned it was from microsoft terraserver, but I believe those shots are in black and white. Does anyone know the source of the imagery.

Like I said on another post.. it's probably just a good air photo or a computer edited terraserver photo..

The photo in the show had the M. Force on it so I don't think it's terraserver. Actually Discovery Might have done it for the show. I paused the tape and stepped through those seens, it is an excellent detailed photo, make a great poster.

While I didn't tape it (therefore can't pause and examine it), with the video technology that exists it would be entirely possible for Discovery to create a computer-generated version, maybe augmented (details) from a few ariel fly-bys. It may not be a real view, in that sense.

I bet that the Discovery channel just hired a helecopter or airplane and flew up there and took a bunch of photos and then chose the best one to use in the show.

It is a real neat photo that I would like to study if anyone can make a still photo of it and put it on the internet. In addition this photo would be a great tool to counter all those "Cedar Point has a space problem" people both here and on coasterbuzz.

Ya know, I'd place bets it's a map used by the P&D department.

I am part owner of a company which flies lidar (laser mapping). It really looked like a true air photo, not an enhanced digital model. CrystalKat is probably right, it's something that CP had flown and is not available to the general public. I thought someone might know for sure.
