Can't Get the New Live Webcam to Work on My Mac....?

I have flashplayer installed. I don't get an error message or anything, the screen in just black with the Cedar Point watermark in the bottom right hand corner.

Is there a way to find a direct link? Similar to this one for the regular webcam....

It says it requires at least flash 10.1 to view.


When you visit CP, visit my Mill, est. 1835

It's good to see the flag flying the correct way today! :)

It doesn't work on my mac either, and all the software is updated top of the line...
The old one never worked either using mac software

If you download and install Google Chrome it works -- mind you, I am not a fan of google in any way, shape, or form, but it will work on your mac.

There is next to nothing to see on this live webcam -- its positioned facing Gemini and all you see is people walking down the black asphalt....zzzzzz

probably one of the worst and most boring locations for a live webcam.

Seems to work fine on my Mac. But then again, I actually update Flash Player every now and then. Not that I particularly like Flash, but unfortunately, so of the things I like to do on my Mac require it.

Try using VLC and go to Open Network Stream and put in rtsp://50.23.65.23:1935/live/cedar.stream

Should work that way.

You don't need to install Flash on your Mac. Just use Chrome, which has its own integrated Flash player.

Hey , thanks for that stream addy. Its better on VLC since it doesn't switch out of full screen mode every time i click on my other screen.

When the light is just right you can see Magnum 1st, second and third hills.

It is however pretty dark back there in the evenings.

That section of the park is pretty dark at closing. I ended up riding the mean streak until close one night and could barely find my way back to the resort entrance it was so dark back there. They really need some basic lighting on that section of the midway.
