News: Cedar Point adds Project 2007 webcam

Because there isn't a need for posts every time someone walks across the cam. We know construction is happening. Part of construction is people building stuff. Last week when track was being put up it wasn't bad because track going up is a pretty big deal and a milestone in the construction. Now, it is pretty much assumed that more track is going to be put up and there isn't a need for an update every time a new piece of track is put up.

Jugga, this thread is about the webcam (See the topic title). Why complain about it? If it's not your cup of tea, there are PLENTY of other threads to visit.

You're right, ucbearcat. You should just ignore the suggestions of the vet members (not myself, obviously), since they know far less about this kind of stuff than you do.

Yes, this thread was about them adding a webcam to their site. Not a thread for providing play-by-play every time a cloud rolls over the construction site and the change in tint is noticeable. There are some things worth talking about, like the start of track placement. But not all track is that important. We don't need to know every time the crane is moved to install a different section.

Why the attack, dj?

Jugga-

I would believe that track installed directly in front of the webcam would be post worthy. After all, the track that has been installed up to this point has been very difficult to see.

Vet members! That's a great way to describe it!

Not if you've been keeping up with the updates. There are far better pictures (especially the MV pics :)) of the installed track.

Its not an attack. The play-by-plays have been discouraged three times on this page alone, and countless other times in other webcam threads, yet you completely disregard gentle suggestions. So, my comment was an attempt to try and discourage you from continuing by using a slightly more direct and stern approach, which obviously has no effect.

Jugga explained as eloquently as is necessary. If an entire new element (which consists of several pieces)has been added since the last post, go ahead and bring us up to speed, even though we probably already are. If a 600' crane arrives on site, let us know. If a wild brushfire starts in FT, make a post about it. Otherwise, just don't. Its really that simple. Keep in mind that most of us here keep up on the webcam, updates and general discussion, so we don't need 15 pages of "ooh! a piece of track was installed!" "look, he's tightening that bolt!" and so forth.

dj: well a crane has arrived with a cherry picker
but since it isn't 600 ft i guess i shouldn't of mentioned sry

I just looked at that camera & that one guy didn't move for 2 minutes. I hate the web cam.

That crane has been there, just in a different location. Same for the cherry picker.

By the way, you = ucbearcat =!= clever.

I was just being sarcastic. Sorry i did make it look on was on ucbearcat side. It is a lot more exicting to come here once a week and see what all of the changes are rather than to refresh the webcam all the time. *** Edited 8/21/2006 3:38:52 PM UTC by michigan232***

We dont need a play by play.......plain and simple. For those who do it, we dont hate you for it and we dont think less of you.

And OMG! exit, it IS a hill......who da thunk?!:)

Hi there . How many people think that the web cam should be move to the right a little so we can see that hill .If you do just say HI LOL. I think this is a small hill.

I think we need a wide-angle lense or better yet... one more camera :)

Look at the web cam now. We can actually see them working... woo hoo
