Live web cam?

cedar point just commented on a status about the webcam saying it will be a week or two before it goes live

Most likely on the new attraction webpage, etc.

Was that webcam view from the parking lot a live cam or the webcam? The live cam never seems to work for me.:(

Try refreshing your browser. Mine doesn't work the first time either, just refresh till it works.

the cam to see the front of the park is live now

I figured i would put this here instead of a new thread. I started taking a snapshot of the front gate cam when it went live. I am getting one every minute to make a time lapse video of the demo and construction. I am using webcam magic to do the capture. Is there any other software that anyone knows of that might have a few more features that can capture it once a minute. Any help would be well appreciated. Thanks

crontab and wget.

What? On my computer., the live webcam is still showing the Maverick bridge cam on my computer.

I think he meant that it is available on the website, and you no longer have to use the link that people saved on here. It is NOT a constantly streaming camera.

I posted this earlier and thanks to ben he gave me an idea. Instead of looking for something to view webcams with, something to auto download files. If anyone else wants to do this it is called seqdownload. Its freeware and you set it for however long you want. I figured i would throw that out there to help anyone trying to do the same thing.

I am already doing that... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vLT2Ukoio0o

also already posted here... http://pointbuzz.com/Forums/Thread/27806.aspx?page=136#467081

So on the Live Web Cam I just saw Snake River Falls running....I know prior to the park opening it'll test. Does anyone have an idea why it could be testing?

^ This is just a guess, but I know SRF has had a few problems this past summer. Maybe they are trying to fix/test any problems on these last few warm days.

I hope I don't see anyone riding it if I go in October when it gets colder. It bothers me, I know it sounds weird, but I hate when people put on sweaters, jackets and sweat pants, then ride water rides and stay wet all day in 50 or less degree weather. Brrrrrr.

Well maybe they want to fix it in the 70 degree weather instead of the 40 degree winter.

I currently use Web Cam Time Lapse. I doesn't have a ton of features, but it's very user friendly.

live video cams - cool!

awesome

Where are the two new live webcams, on a .mil network, can't view webcams lol

They're on top of Power Tower. One is facing the front of the park toward GK and the other is facing the other direction toward Dragster. But earlier Tony tweeted:

"I think it's time we demonstrated the full power of this station." Make a cam shot request using #CPlivecam and I'll move the cams at 2p.

Well it's past 2 and the cams are still facing the same direction. This sounds interesting. I love the current positions though.
