Gemini midway webcam

Just looked at Kings Island webcam covering construction of Banshee. The camera is up on their Eiffel Tower and is an excellent view. What about our TTD webcam being turned 180 degrees to cover the entire Gemini midway renovation? Camera and wiring are already there. I'm sure the maintenance crew is more than capable of turning the camera.

There is already a Gemini midway live webcam.

Here's the view of Banshee construction cam. https://www.visitkingsisland.com/online-fun/webcams After Halloweekends, why not do both?

I think Tony has mentioned before that they tried to turn the TTD cam to see the back of the park, but the supports are in the way.

1 - Because moving a webcam is not as trivial as you seem to think
2 - Because we already have a live view of the area.
3 - Because you wouldn't be able to see much from TTD anyway.
4 - Because the current TTD webcam view is fine the way it is.

If you look at the live webcam and look at the renderings for the new ride/area, the live camera will not capture that.

It will capture almost all of the (boring) action.

I swear, it seems the more the park does for enthusiasts, the more they want. I guess some people are never satisfied.

I don't really care to watch the construction. I was just stating a point that where that camera was there is no way it would catch the construction. Anyways they have always taken down the live camera in the off season.

That's not even remotely true.

I'm sure Tony will give us plenty of updates. As long as we get to watch the construction on a live cam this year. I was kind of disappointed we couldn't watch Gatekeepers live.

Hate to burst anyone's bubble But tony says that it will be a static camera like the other ones.

Anyone know why the Gemini web cam is not operating,maybe some secret thing?

*grabbing my tin foil hat*

^LOL

Hey people keep saying something you may have to climb up there tin foil hat and all to take a look at it :D

I'm sure they have decided that Pipe Scream wasn't a good idea, and they are trashing the project. That is clearly why the webcam is offline.

+1

For all the kids sitting at the edge of their seats, the webcam is back online.

Just looked at the Gemini webcam just now and it looks like they are creating a lot of dirt at the moment. Is this for the brick pavers?

There's not going to be any pavers. It'll just be new concrete

It's quite fascinating seeing all the utility trenching.

Hmm, as I was typing that, I realized it was one of the most boring things ever written, but it's still fascinating to me.
