News: Web site update reveals 2006 changes

Ahhh... Streaming webcams. Gotta love it.

:)

Unless I'm looking at something different, they still only update once every 60 seconds.

I guess you're right. T&T are liars!

From OnPoint!:

5. We know how much you love webcams. So, we’ve upgraded the webcam section. When you click on a webcam, a new window will now pop up so you can watch it ALL day long. It now refreshes constantly.

It's just semantics. "Constantly" doesn't have to mean once per second. Once per minute is certainly regular.

I'm "constantly" telling my son that Cedar Point isn't open yet, but that doesn't mean I tell him 86,400 times a day.

That's what I figured. Although its strange that they described it as a "new" feature. The webcam has always updated once per minute, correct?

There was always a limit before it stopped and asked a question to make sure you were still watching.

Ahhh... The ol' 10-minute timeout. Glad that's gone.

Now I have to reset my desktop images. They were set to the webcams and now I have to go dig out the image locations again.

So what type of food do you think Hurricane Hannah's will have? Maybe some type of Key West/Tropical stuff?

Also, I noticed that Grist Mill Refreshments wasn't listed on the website. I wonder if that is an oversite or if it is gone.

gristmill is still around with their turkey legs...must have just been an oversite

Is anyone else offended by the name Hurricane Hannah's? :)

Hopefully they will serve Hurricanes! :p

Wasn't Lotsapalooza closed because of them taking out the midway between Demon Drop and the Ice Cream Parlor. Did they decide to bring back the midway.

It sounds like that midway is back again.

That was a waste of two walls then.

Nah, those walls are going back in the WWL area;)

Haha, I think you're right. CP just used them there last season because they wanted to get a head start on wall construction. :-)

Wait, so are 3 water slides and a wave pool coming to Cedar Point?

At least with the closing of the waterpark (Hurricaine Hanna's at GL, for which Wildwater Kingdom is the replacement), they found a new use for the name.

How about a non change?

Unlike what was rumored... it seems Macaroni's will be back.

^Although they are only listing pizza on the menu at the moment. Hopefully the menu just hasn't been completed yet...
