maXair/webcam/lights

Ugh, 275 is on the way to CP! I just hope he doesn't pop out from under the ground and kill me this Saturday.

Alright, has anyone else noticed that the webcam will not show any pitures past 7:59? I think they test the new lighting systems and they want to keep it a suprise. anyway, it doen't matter, i'll be there in two weeks.!!

does any one else think it is weird that there seems to be a mist over the maXair webcam, but the others seem to be fine. also the mist is right over maXair. maybe they are waiting to unvail a new surprise or maybe it just happens to be on accident...let me know...boxhead166 aim...rjliggett@bsu.edu email

Its condensation, which is caused by water getting into the casing around the camera. When the case heats up, the water evaporates and with nowhere to go it condenses right on the case. That's all there is to it, its not some big conspiracy, although I still think it was caused by a worker throwing a snowball at the camera back in February.

AHAHAHA See, I"m not the only conspiracy theorist here! It is suspicious though!!! ;) I'm only kidding...

Well if it is condensation which it probably is, than it is one hell of a co inky dink becasue the condensation is directly over maXair and not over the whole thing....does any one relize this or am I just a dumb person. I mean come on its DIRECTLY over the ride, I think that CP is doing it on purpose and the cam will clear up after opening day when everyone sees what they are planning..(a surpsise maybe) heck i dunno...

You have too much time on your hands.

They are going to pull off a trick worth of David Copperfield....and make maXair turn into a TopSpin.

I really hate to say this sence I know I will get hammered, but, it does look like someone sprayed it with a spray bottle, LOL.

If they did not want us to see what was going on with maXair, they would not have put the webcam there.

Ahaha. No it can't be planned, not this time. I watched the spot grow this morning, at like 8 it was fine, then by 10, it was watery, then it got worse..so i'm sorry to say this is not a planned cover-up. And WOO i'm happy one of my posts got to 2 pages!!

Here is some news, there was a city owned car, I could see the city seal on the side of it, parked by maxair while it was just testing, hmmmmmm, final inspection maybe?

Haha sorry guys, this thread is getting really anyoying. Oh well, it don't matter, i'll be working on TTD and all my spare time will be spent riding the very conspiracy we've grown to hate.

The new lighting can be seen in this shot below. WOW!

Wow, kind of makes the rest of the park look dark. I cant wait to see the new lighting in person.

Extremely great shot Gomez, WOW is the right word.

I just watched the 5am news and they had a live report from maXair. I noticed that there are strobe lighting effects on the platform while the ride is in motion.

Very nice touch!

Yeh the strobe light looks sweet. I think like every news station got their 15 minutes because one from Detroit was on, but our news, WKYC was the only one on at 7. either, i cant' freakin wait...

has anyone noticed that they put up something over the webcam so it won't get anymore condensation!!!!

I don't think they did that specifically for the webcam.

With the other webcams, you can bypass the archived picture and see a realtime picture anytime. The Maxair cam is the only one you can't bypass.

How do you bypass to see the realtime picture.
